Hello Elizabeth,

Interesting. I have not yet found any Lentons with Yorkshire links in my wife's family but it is possible.
Edward Lenton b1914 was of a line that appears to pass through Stanwick Nortamptonshire abt 1779. His ancestors were shoemakers in sucessive generations and this particular Lenton family probably moved from Northamptonshire to Leicester because of the industrialisation of the trade.

Thank you for your contribution, I hope the above is helpful to you.

Hi
The Lenton side of the family I am researching emigrated to Pennsylvania USA in the late 1890s. I understand there were brothers and sons in the Lenton dynasty but I think many of them were from Yorkshire. Your Edward Lenton must be from one branch of the family which didn't emigrate as early.

Re: Anyone else with my surname?

Dibbeth100 — 2011-10-26 08:12:38Z

My great great grandfather was Lenton and he came from Halifax, Yorkshire UK and emigrated to the US (Philadelphia) in the around 1880. There are many more Lentons in Yorkshire, UK and in the US. My father was Richard Lenton Nash and his family live in New Jersey. So perhaps you are not quite the originator of the surname!

Re: Anyone else with my surname?

terrylenton — 2011-10-25 20:38:38Z

I am the originator of the surname Lenton, I was born and raised in Houston, Tx. I started this quest in searching for my heritage because of the rarity of the name Lenton. My father was Ellis Lenton born in 1915 / his father was Ellis Lenton that married a Emily Broussard. I never had the chance of meeting either of my dads parents nor is there much known about them. In researching my grandfather's death record it showed the spelling of Lanton. back in time there had been occasions where the names were spelled incorrectly due to lack of education.
So any one that comes across with any of the Lenton Heritage please share. God Bless all that have responded over the years. I actually had forgotten that I'd posted this message. Would love to hear from all email: terry_lenton@hchd.tmc.edu / june673005@att.net

Hi, Mum had a look and we found some of Alfred James Collis in an old bag and he stands with various people who we do not know, I wonder if any of them are the person you are looking for? Do you have any details of physical description as to what he looks like or if he was in the armed forces as some are in Australian military uniforms.

Cheers, Deena

Re: COLLIS / ELLISS / GARD FAMILY CONNECTION

MBDC1958 — 2011-06-27 22:38:56Z

Thank you for your link.

I have a tenuous link to the Collis family. I believe that my grandmother was engaged to Francis Joseph Collis when he went off to war (although this has never been confirmed). Her first cousin Euphemia Maud Ellis married Alfred James Collis. I have some letters from a Charles Collis too written to my grandmother during the war. These are quite interesting. I guess that our families were quite close at the time. Do you know if there are any photos of Francis Joseph Collis, I have always hoped to see one some day. Perhaps with your Collis connections you may be able to add to the story of the "engagement". my email is harriets.garden@bigpond.com if you would like to chat further. regards Maree

jackiehornby — 2009-08-15 16:58:31Z

I am looking for information about parents of Rozetta Lenton who was born c.1820. Her marriage certificate shows no father's name so I may be on a hiding to nothing! But I have a clue "W.L. 1803" scratched onto a watchcase. Place names of relevance in what I know so far are Bourn(e), Edenham, Thurlby, and there is a Miss Beccles involved somewhere along the line though I've no idea who she is. She certainly had a relative living in Edenham in 1843 when her first child was born as she went "home" to have him. I have found a Jane Lenton in Edenham in 1841 but can't tell if there is any link.
Rozetta died sometime between the 1841 and 1851 censuses in England. If anyone has any information I'd be very pleased as I'm drawing a blank - millions of Lentons!

Dibbeth100 — 2008-09-04 22:07:10Z

Neame Burbridge Lenton was married to Ann and they had a daughter Elsie Ada. The 1871 Census reads:

LENTON, Neame Burbridge Head M 30 1841 Northamptonshire
LENTON, Ann Wife F 32 1839 Northamptonshire
LENTON, Edgar Neame Son M 7 1864 Northamptonshire
LENTON, Elsie Ada Daughter F 6 1865 Northamptonshire
LENTON, Annie Elizabeth Daughter F 4 1867 Northamptonshire
LENTON, Oliver Bassford Son M 3 1868 Northamptonshire
LENTON, Iden Son M 1 1870 Northamptonshire

Also Edgar Neame Lenton married Marjorie, not Madge.

The 1861 Census reads:

LENTON, Isaac Head Married M 46 1815 Cordwainer
Kimbolton Huntingdonshire
LENTON, Elizabeth Wife Married F 51 1810
Keysoe Bedfordshire
LENTON, Isaac Son Unmarried M 23 1838 Post Messenger
Kimbolton Huntingdonshire
LENTON, Charles Son Unmarried M 15 1846 Cordwainer Son
Kimbolton Huntingdonshire
LENTON, Sarah Ann Daughter Unmarried F 22 1839 Cordwainer Daughter Kimbolton Huntingdonshire
LENTON, Fredrick Son Unmarried M 12 1849 Cordwainer Son
Kimbolton Huntingdonshire
LENTON, ... Busbridge Nephew Unmarried M 20 1841 Shoe Fitter Oundle Northamptonshire

Northamptonshire has been the centre of the UK shoe industry for many years so I am not surprised at the above results.

Re: Warren and Ruth Lenton of Sewell, NJ

Dibbeth100 — 2008-09-04 21:54:57Z

Interested in the children of Edgar and Madge (Marjorie) Lenton - particularly Doris Lenton who married Manners Dawson Nash and up to 1930 had a son called Richard Lenton Nash, born 1929 in Camden NJ. Manners Nash was an estimator in a NJ shipyard and died in Collingswood NJ in 1968. I think Dorris Lenton died in 1970 but I don't know where.
Edgar was born in Northampton, UK, in April 1863 and emigrated with his wife (born 1866) in 1888 to Pennsylvania.
If anyone has information on Richard Lenton Nash, I would be delighted to hear from you.

Joseph Lenton

GlennLenton — 2006-11-08 01:48:39Z

I am after information on the parents/family of Joseph Lenton, born circa 1810 in Coventry, Warwickshire. He arrived in NSW circa 1826 and died in 1866. He was a Miller in England and a wheat farmer in Narellan NSW. He married Mary Frost (4-10-1821) on 05-02-1838. I have information on descendants in NSW but I am lacking detail on Joseph's family history in Coventry. There were a few Lentons around in Coventry in the 18th century and Coventry Suitor records from 1826 indicate a James, Thomas and William. Voter records from the same period indicate a George and a Thomas Lenton. However, I am not sure who Joseph Lenton might be related to, if any of the above. Any information or leads would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hello, I'm also a descendant of James lenton and Mary Martin-my Great (x2) was the John Lenton born in 1829.I've desperatley tried to get back further and am going round in circles. John and William married on the same day-5th may 1850, john married Frances Chambers I've found Mary living with her son William in 1881 at 55 lea street, Radford, Nottingham and I'll look thru all my paperwork-there is reams- and see if I can find anything else re William.
If you have any further info on James, I'd really appreciate if you would let me know.

james lenton

janetterothera34 — 2006-04-12 15:42:51Z

I wonder if anyone can give me any information on the following family. My Great (x3) Grandfather is James Lenton born around 1801 in Exhall according to the 1851 census. He married a Mary Martin in 1828 Exhall.

According to the 1851 Census the children are born in Exhall, and the family is living at Black Bank, Exhall, Foleshill, but on the 1841 census they are born in bedworth and are living in Leicester Street, Foleshill in the area of bedworth.

The children are william born around 1832/1834
John born 1829 Bedworth, David born 1834, Eliza born 1839, Elizabeth born 1841, James born 1844, Mary born 1846, Martha born 1849.

There is no william on the 1851 census. But managed to locate a william born 1833 bedworth, who is in prison in the House of Correction in 1851. This is possible that william is in fact part of my family.
If anyone is connected to James and Mary Lenton and can give me any details, then it would be greatly appreciated. If possible would also like to find James Born around 1801 parents. It could be James is born later than 1801 as on the 1841 he is 35 years old.

With Exhall, Bedworth and Foleshill all mentioned as birthplaces it is really confusing me as to who is who and I am not sure if I have found the right person or not.

George_Lenton — 2006-02-06 14:53:32Z

Has anyone got a 'Mary Ann Lenton' (maiden name) born Birmingham, England 1892 in their family tree. This was my Grandfather William's younger sister. His younger brother Joseph was sadly killed aged 20 in WW1. As my father was an only child this has left us pretty bare on my paternal side! So what happened to Mary? Did she survive and marry maybe providing us with second cousins on my Dads side? Any info would be much appreciated.

Also is anyone out there with family connections to William Lenton born Coventry 1841. He had 6 children (one of which -Joseph being my great Grandfather). The family moved to Birmingham in the 1860's. I believe 2 sons went north to Lancashire (Colne/Nelson?) James and Walter. Remaining children Joesph,Amey,william and Albert (all born Birmingham 1870's) stayed in Birmingham. Again,any info much appreciated.

cheers, George Lenton (London England)

Re: family history

George_Lenton — 2006-02-06 14:11:20Z

Sorry for the slight delay in responding - just 're-discovered this site. In answer to your question - yes my great great grandfather moved from Coventry to Birmingham in around 1870 to work in the jewellery quarter. He had about 6 children, so there's probably quite a few 2nd/3rd cousins out there somewhere!
