Title: Braunston lock
Post by: scarlettslipper on Friday 29 October 21 17:14 BST (UK)
I'm trying to trace my great grandfather Frederick Knight who died in or around 1910 in Northampton. He was a painter decorator and was supposed to have connections Braunston lock painting narrowboats there. I was trying to trace his death record. He died around age 40 so born about 1864.

As far as I know they were separated by then and she Elizabeth Knight was living elsewhere with they're three young sons Leonard, Arnold and William
someone in the family told father Frederick Knightdied young of a heart attack around 1910/11 maybe in Northampton

The OP has never mentioned a middle name (index shows middle name of William) so maybe, maybe not.

There doesn't seem to be a lot of documentary backup on any of this. (see other posts)
