Musical Bents from England
| Doug Bent (View posts) | Posted: 6 Aug 2000 6:17PM GMT |
I am looking for information to link my family heritage.
Four brothers left England in the mid to late 1800's, all Coronet Players from the Manchester area.
City of Barnesley, in Yorkshire England.
Their father was a band instructor.
Very possible they had one or two sisters.
They were known as the "world famous Bent Brothers".
Ben (most famous played in the top bands of the time and written in "Pioneer's in Brass" by Glen D. Bridges.
Fred, Arthur (directed the Marine Band), Thomas C. (which I am the great grandson).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
