If John Harper is the father of Matthew Harper we may be on the right track.

thanks. I think you are right - a difficult task. May keep looking into the Kent family.

Lanarkshire / Re: Death record sought for Mary Harper, 1947
« on: Wednesday 04 May 16 02:55 BST (UK) »
Not sure if I have her death record. Will have to dig. She passed away during child birth. All of her children that she had with David Harper were relocated to Australia as part of an adoption program. They were sent to live with family. The child was adopted. The children did not move to Australia for another year after she passed away. There are shipping records of all the children departing England. She was the daughter of John Kent who was one of 12 children.

Thanks for all the information. It certainly filled in some gaps. Will visit the areas while in Dublin and New Ross.

Yes we have a couple of generations during the 1800s. My grandmother was Mary Josephine Kent born in 1907, her parents were John and Elizabeth Kent. He was born in Bombay, India in 1881, Elizabeth was born in 1880 in Dublin - not sure who her parents were. Her maiden name was Byrne. John's parents were John (New Ross in 1843) and Jane Kent (nee Burr) 1855 - not sure where she was born or the names of other siblings. John's parents were Simon and Helen Kent. I have no further information. Am visiting New Ross soon and know that the name is common in this area.

Am doing some research in the Kent family from New Ross. Mary Josephine Kent married David Harper, parents were John and Elizabeth Kent (nee byrne). John's family were Jane (nee Burr) and John Kent, then Simon and Helen Kent.

Lancashire Lookup Requests / Re: Look-up request for James Jordan/Margaret Black marriage - 1875, St. Nics

Hi Pablo, I can't find your original post regarding Mary Harper (nee Kent) so am taking the chance to contact you via this post. I am Mary Harper's granddaughter and the information given my Hume was correct. I am presently doing some research into her side of the family. Her son (who was born at the time of her death) contacted the family a number of years ago. Who are you doing research for? I have some information that goes back a little way.
