Dent Family of Romaldkirk

[Anny]

Sorry to butt in on this thread as I don't think my Dents came from Romaldkirk but thought I might join in anyway as there are so many of you that there maybe a connection somewhere.  The furthest I can get back with My Dents was the early 1830s - my ancester Henry Dent's parents were Thomas Dent and Ann Hutchinson but I can't find a trace of Thomas Dent either before or after that time frame (can find all the rest of the family ok). I've bought numerous death certs for Thomas Dent around that time but never struck the correct one and can't definitively find a baptism. The only certainty I have for him is that his occupation was tanner (sometimes referred to as barker/tanner) which is fairly unusual and maybe some other members of his missing family were tanners.  He was married in Bishop Auckland but they seemed to live mainly around the Bolam, Gainford area.  Would love to find out where he came from originally.

Fingers crossed someone knows something of him.

Thank you Neil & Jolly Roger, yes I got the marriage and also baptism of William 2nd son of Thomas & Ann but have never been able to find a baptism for the 1st son. Sorry for the delay in replying but I'm in Australia.

Hi All, this is some of the scratchings I made while researching some DENT Family connections. It may be useful to any Dent Research. Hope it is readable?

Hello All,

I am coming late into this conversation but I am trying to find the Dent connection to William Raine b1792 Romaldkirk. He married Ruth from Essex and they had..
William b1814
Henry b1816
Ruth b1818
Tabitha b1822
Mary b1824
George Dent Raine b1832
I don't know if George Dent Raine is correct here, given the wide gap between the last two children
but I do have William and Ruth residing in Gainford,Barnard Castle in 1841 census with Tabitha 20 and George 12.
 I understand there may be a Tabitha Dent bc1742 who married William Raine bc1742.
Can anyone help verify any of this information ?
Many thanks....

Can't confirm the connection but Tabitha and Tabby Dent is a reoccuring name in the Romaldkirk records, these Dents seem to be from the Mickelton/Lunedale areas.

Cheers,

Dan

Hi AngieK - I havent looked at the Raine side of my tree for a while but a quick check in the tree tells me that William Raine and Tabitha Dent married on 28th January 1780 in Romaldkirk - I got this from Durham archives I believe and it sticks in my mind that Tabitha signed her own name.

Thanks Lallie111,
I wonder if you have the information on their children, which I believe may be William,John,Robert and Tabitha ? I have found quite a lot of information on familysearch.org but their marriage and their children do not appear to be listed.

Thanks,
Angie.
