Hmmmm.....my Grandfather was Harold Edward Ghent, born November 22, 1871. He dropped the 'h' from Gent, and my maiden surname was Gent. Harold's father was Mark Ghent, born April 13, 1835.Mark had three children, including my Grandfather, Harold.The others were Emma, born 1865 and Annie Matilda, born 1877. Did you mean Annie was Amelia's first name?Anyway, I'm not able to tie her in.She's too much younger than Marks' other kids.Maybe Mark had sibblings?Can't help you further I guess.Have you tried ordering certificates from England? They have births from 1837 forward.I still need a couple more, but can't afford them all at once.Good luck, Rose
