Irwin Lent

I have two old studio photographs belonging to the LENT Family of New York. The first is a photograph of Frances Mae LENT which was taken at the G. Weinig Studio in Brooklyn, NY in the 1880’s or 1890’s when Frances was just an infant. The second photograph is one of Irwin LENT and was taken at the Siegel Cooper Co. in New York City, NY in the 1890’s or early 1900’s with Irwin appearing to be about 2 years old at the time it was taken.

Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding those pictured in the photographs:

Frances “Fanny” Mae LENT was b. 9 Jun 1883 in New York City, NY to parents Albert LENT or William H. LENT or Charley LENT (b. 1856 or 1859 or 1860) and Ellen O’CONNOR (1860-1940) or Emma KNIGHT (1859-1947). There are 7 children born to these possible couples including Emma; Josephine; Fanny, Augusta A.; May; Reuben Harmon; and Charley LENT, all born between 1878 and 1889. I’m unsure if there are two different Frances LENT’s born at the same time or if this is all the same person with a mix of parents and siblings?

Fanny married Alexander PLUNKETT (b. 1881) and they had 6 children including Josephine; Thomas Joseph; Alexander A.; Marchella or Marcella; Eleanor Jean; and Raymond Francis PLUNKETT, all born between 1902 and 1921.

Irwin Edward LENT was b. 15 Oct 1896 in Village of Whitestone, Queens, NY to parents Niles LENT (1875-1898) and Louisa or Anna WETZEL (b. 1873 or 1876) who were married 14 Aug 1896 in Brooklyn, NY. Irwin was the only child born to this couple.

I am hoping to locate someone from his LENT Family so that these photographs can be returned to the care of family. If you are a member of the family or know someone who might be, please contact me.

Thanks,
Shelley
