Could someone help me please as I may have transcribed these wrongly.
Thomas James Knapp b: 1822 Devon, died 1855 SA
married:
1) Eliza ? b: 1817, m: 1843, d: 1855 SA
2) Mary Ann Flaherty b: 1813 Kent, m: 1848, d: 1891 SA
Mary Ann Knapp then married
John Beer b: 1810? m: 1858 SA d: ? SA
It seems that I have Mary Ann marrying Thomas in 1848 when his first wife Eliza was still alive and didn't die till 1855.
Kind regards

Thanks Merlin and kris,
Mary Ann Flaherty mis-spelt Flaharty is my relative and now I will go through all you have sent me and correct anything needed. The Eliza bit is the one that is causing all the trouble isn't it.\?
Kind regards

Thank you all,
My mistake entirely - I transposed John Beer's first wife as Thomas Knapps!
It is hard enough getting information regarding these ancestors without doing that!
Thank you for the extra information as well.
Kind regards

Hi
I'm searching for the mother [Mary ....?] of Eliza Alden KNAPP. Unable to find records of
the marriage of Mary ...? and Thomas Alden KNAPP son of Thomas Knapp & Hester Alden.
Here's a quick summary about Eliza Alden KNAPP born abt 1817 - check parish records to see if
she was baptised 3 Aug 1817 St Gregory's Church of England, Dawlish, Devon, England
the daughter of Mary ....[unknown] (abt 1781-1856) & Thomas Alden KNAPP (abt 1785-1865)
Elize emigrated 12 Sept 1839 with parents and siblings on the 'John' arr Port Adelaide 5 Feb 1840
Eliza Knapp was married 18 Oct 1843 in Adelaide to John Beer (1823-1900) son of Elizabeth Williams & John Beer
died-buried 16 April 1855 Adelaide South Australia
29 Sept 1856 at Trinity Church Adelaide John Beer (widower) married his sister-in-law
Mary Ann [Flaherty] Knapp 1813-1891, widow of Thomas James Knapp (1824-d. 28 Jan 1855)
PS
my distant link is through Mary Staples the mother of Emma Staples (1844-1876) who married
George Beer (1844-189x) son of Eliza Knapp & John Beer.
