I have no idea where to start, but am keen to confirm some information I received from a relative about a family living in the Isle of Man. I would like to find out birth dates and places on the island for the following children. John DENT and Margaret YOUNG were married in Penrith, Cumberland in 1885. Their children were apparently born on the Isle of Man and their names were Joseph W DENT, Elsie DENT, Nora (perhaps a shortening of Eleanor?) DENT, Margaret DENT, Thomas DENT, Henry DENT and John DENT.

Apparently John DENT Senior's sister Frances Ann BULLOCK (nee DENT) also lived on the Isle of Man. Frances Ann DENT and ? BULLOCK were married in 1898 in Teesdale, Durham and their daughter Beatrice Isabel 'Maude' BULLOCK was born there at some stage. I'd also like to trace her birth.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Cheers, Leah Dent
