Dent, Agen, Hetherington families of Ireland 18th Century
« on: Saturday 12 September 09 10:43 BST (UK) »
I have an ancestor, William Owen Kitchener Dent, who I believe may have been born in Ireland around 1802. His father, son and several grandsons (latter born in Australia) were named Thomas Agen (Agin) Dent. I believe the Agen family are from Ireland, and originally south western france (pre- 14th Century). The names Hetherington and Kitchener are also relevant. From online research I have done, the Dents are present in records from Dublin City, Wexford, Westmeath, Galway and Mayo counties. Would anyone have any information relating to these families? I believe that the Dents are anglo-irish with close ties to Lancashire and West Yorkshire.
Dent:Warwickshire
Burgar, Reid, Setter, Hughes/Hughison:Papa Westray  and Westray Orkney
Gorman:Antrim
Cholmeley:Isle of Wight and Hampshire
Daeth/Death: Burton Latimer
Beasley:Warwickshire
Toll:Cornwall
Clark: Devonshire
Scott: Dumfries and Galloway
Mitchell: Tipperary
Sims/Shipman: Wiltshire
Homfray: Worcester

Hello

I believe I am a descendant of the above. I have just started tracking my family history. I found this information and believe it may be of use to you.
