Hi there
I know that James Dent's father was named William. That's based on the marriage certificate I have for James and Ruth. However, my interest is in Ruth so I have quite a bit of information on her ancestors.
Ruth was also known as Rosey. Probably a nickname. Her parents were Jonathan Ingham and Mary Emmett. She came from a large family. She had brother's William and Jonathan. There was another William born much later so my thought is that the first brother may have died young. Not sure though since this is back in the early 1800's and there is not a lot of info to go on. She had sisters, Mary, Alice, Margaret, and Esther.
Again I don't have any info on Mary Emmett since my interest is the Ingham's.
Jonathan's parents were William Ingham and Mary Thompson. They all lived around Habergham Eaves. I have info on Jonathan's siblings and William's father was Lawrence Ingham. Don't know who William's mother is yet.
