Title: Susanna WOOLCOCK married to James KNIGHT
Post by: kim826 on Monday 22 August 11 21:05 BST (UK)
Looking for parents of Susanna Woolcock and James Knight who married on July 1, 1832 in Calstock.  They had a son William Henry Knight born 1842 or 1847.  William died September 14, 1911 in Ishpeming, Michigan and his death record lists an approximate birth year as 1847.  His obituary also didn't give any better information.  Through some searches, I believe James and Susanna were his parents.  Hope I'm on the right track.  Thanks for taking a look at this request.

think the birth will have been 1842 or earlier as he was baptised in 1842

Working from Susannah's age on the 1851 census, this could be her baptism

My g grandfather was John Woolcock 1838/1891 born Tywardreath, Cornwall.
His parents were Joseph Woolcock 1804/1891 and mother Mary Ann Knight 1802/1881.
The name Susanna does not appear in my tree  as far as I can see
