What information is it that you need on Frederick.

I can see him with his mother and her new husband and his brother William in 1861 in Kensington what happens to the family after this.

I suspect that the Frederick Knight in 1871 is not yours unless you have proved links with him to the Hazzards.

These are births for Frederick Knight in 1851
June qtr 1851   
Knight    Frederick       
Croydon    4   132   
This is probably the Merton one

September qtr 1851   
Knight    Frederick       
Farnham    4   170   
This is probably yours
there is also a Frederick Robert with a Farnham registration same qtr/ref
