It may be that he was born somewhere completely different and the family moved to the Old Kent Road when he was very young. If he grew up there he may have thought he was born there.

Did you get mother's name from the birth certificate. Have you William's marriage cert to Mary? That should give father's name and occupation which would help.

Im hoping someone can help me with this...

My 2nd great grandmother was Mary Frances Trent. She was aborn 20th April 1862 in London.
Her father was William Francis Trent. He doesnt appear on a single census with his parents. He is not on the familysearch website or on freebmd.

Where he does appear, he says that he was born in 1841/1842 in Old Kent Road, London.

I think that he married a Mary Fernley; they had three children that I can find; Mary Frances, 1862, Susan, 1867 and William 1865.

William F Trent died in 1898 in London.

Does anyone know what I can do?
Anywhere else I can search or do I just have to leave this one as a dead end?

Thanks,
Mandy
