I'm struggling with my gt gt Uncle Henry Iliffe Gent or Ghent - (some of his siblings added an 'h' to their surname). He was a witness at his elder sister (my gt grandmother) Sarah's wedding, signing as Harry Gent, in Northampton on 13 March 1877 aged 22. However after that I'm struggling to find him. He doesn't appear to have died prior to 1881 and I can't see him in the 1881 census. He was born in Northampton.
I don't have access at present to shipping lists but it is possible that he could've gone to the USA or Australia. (His youngest brother Thomas Ghent did go to Australia.) Any help or suggestions gratefully received - my eyes are going squiggy at looking for him. (My father had the same christian names).
