Hi Sarah

Wow that message was a long time back, I didn't even remember my password, goes to show how well the system works.

I have information on Edward Erasmus Knight, but I didn't realise he had another son with Elizabeth Leddra. He must have been born Jan/Oct 1847 as his 2nd marriage took place in November 1847, so presumably Elizabeth died at nearly the same time. How are you related to him?

If you have a birth certificate for your Edward James does it say what Edward Erasmus's occupation is or where they were living?
 
I am descended from his 3rd 'marriage' to Mary Ann Ahier, my mystery GGgrandmother, not really a mystery I just can not find a birth or marriage for her.

What information do you need? I think I still have an email address for a descendant of his daughter Elizabeth born to Elizabeth Knight nee Leddera.

If you want more info on him could you send your email address to me (not sure how you do that as you can not post email addresses here) then I will send the pdf I have for him.

Hi Chopsuey

I know this thread is now quite old, but i hope it still works. I have been to Oxford Record office to look at the records. I could not find a bapt for John Bazeley in Noke 29th May 1719 as you noted on your post in February, could you look at your records and confirm where he is bapt.
I did find the bapt for Mary Grant in 1718 d of William & Mary, and William Grant's marriage to Mary Coalman 26/01/1717.
I did not find any reference to your John's marriage to an Elizabeth in Noke, I also looked at the records in Buckinghamshire but could find no mention except to a Joseph and Elizabeth Beazley in 1816, children Raymond, Letitia, Edwin, Joseph, Charlotte & male child 2 weeks, residing in Ickford.
Hope you can help with this date for John.

Hi Sue

I have my James Beesley buried 23rd January 1868, Noke. I have picked him and the family up on the 1841, 51, & 61 census. in 1861 he has a niece Emily Baldwin living with them.
I don't have his wife's name but it may be Jane Roberts of Kidington married at Northmoor, i have to follow this one up. Their daughter (my gg grandmother) ends up working in Acton as a parlor maid (1861 census).
There is an Elizabeth Beesley widow age 67 from Northampton in Noke in 1861.

Hi JJ

We do not know, His sister my GGGrandmother who came to England married in an independant Weslian Chapel, but we think that was due to my GGGrandfathers belief.

Hi

Thanks for the reply, your ancestors departure from Jersey is too early for any connection but thanks anyway.
Your pronunciation of Ahier is exactly as my mother remembers it, but we have been unsure of the spelling until i received a birth certificate for her grand mother.
