Hello all, I am trying to find my husbands g.g.grandad. His name was Jonathan Kent. On his birth cert he was registered in Alton,sub district Binsted county of Southhampton,in 1838. His parents were Jonathan Kent (blacksmith) and Ann nee Robinson they lived in Bentley Hants. On the 1841 census he should be 3 years old, however I can`t find Jonathan living with his parents anywhere. Has anybody got any ideas on how or where else I might find him. Thanks.

Nudged for Katherine

I was also just going to nudge as I am pretty certain that the entry for 1841 that I posted is correct. Maureen

You are probably right on that one mauren, I never thought to do a search on rent. I wonder where katherine is lol Nicola

Nicola, We will just have to wait and see what she thinks. Maureen

Hi, Maureen,Nicola,and Georgina,sorry I disappeared last night, I turned off the comp because we had lightning around and I don`t think we have a surge protecter. Anyway well done you lot for finding what you did. The RENTS of Bently do belong to me only they should have been KENT. You`ve knocked a hole in my brickwall ,thanks so much. I saw the John Kent aged 2 in Alton as well but he had the wrong mother siblings and no father with them. Jonathans` parents John And Ann did marry in Shoreditch.Thanks so much again, I may need to call on you again. Good luck with your own searches. love Kate.
