BENT - WOOD
Lawrence Bent (son of William and Betty (nee Darbishire) was christened on 4 April 1790 in Flixton, Lancashire. His marriage certificate shows that he was a widower, his occupation - weaver. He married Mary Wood, once again in Manchester Cathedral, by banns, on the 16 June 1823. Both Lawrence and Mary were educated enough to be able to sign their names to the marriage document.
Eleanor Bent was born in Ardwick, Manchester, around 1837 to Lawrence Bent and Mary nee Wood. Lawrence was a widower and possibly his first wife was Margaret, with a daughter Alice baptised at Davy Hulme, Flixton, Manchester on 20 October 1813.
It seems Lawrence and Mary had four children whose names all began with the letter “E”. Following a painstaking search through the microfiche of the IGI looking for any child born to Lawrence and Mary Bent, I came to the conclusion that the four “E” names were the only ones!
Emma was born 1827, Edwin 1832, Emily date of birth not known and Eleanor about 1837. The four children were all baptised in Manchester Cathedral 5 March 1837.
Research further back on both the GALLAGHER-WALMSLEY and BENT-WOOD family lines has been very unsatisfactory, with many leads unable to be corroborated. Therefore not much is known about this branch of the family tree.....maybe one day......?
