Hi I have a Emma Rose Knight born abt 1889 in my tree married to my relative Robert Pitfield. They married at Whitechurch Canonicorum, Dorset in 1910. I know nothing else about her other than her 9 children she had with him. Could you check your tree and see if she is in it please. I can give you info on her children if you need it.  With kind regards Donna

Hi Donna
Regards to Emma Rose Knight, she's not in my tree, but most of my cousin Knights I have not researched any time post 1881, so if theres a  chance you could find her parents there may be a connection, as my 2nd Great Grandfather had 10 siblings who would fit the time scale, but as of yet I have been unable to bring their lines past 1881.
I did check the ~BVRI & can find no baptism, of Emma Rose.

Regards to the Hodders, most of mine originate from Uplyme, Devon, I do have a William Hodder marrying a Margaret Fowler 1794 in Whitchurch.

sorry I couldn't have been of any more use  ???

Hi. from your list of surnames I see the name Harrison. I have information on a Thomas Harrison and wife Harriet (nee Hann)  living in Broadwinsor 1841 and their descendants through William Harrison(son) up to the present time.
