Worcestershire Lookup Requests / Re: St. Andrew (Worcester) - KIME or Kyme

CaroleW - Could you please tell me the previous name of the Charlotte Knight you found in your search. Maybe this might be her second marriage and she has listed the surname from her first marriage, and not her maiden name?!?

The occupation of John Knight (husband of Charlotee Kyme/Kime) is listed as "Baker Journeyman". I got this from her death certificate and also the birth cretificate of their son (John Harold Knight - DOB 1/1/1900).

We really don't know anymore about my wife's grandad, or if he had any brothers or sisters. After his mothers death it looks like he was semi-adopted by a neighbour (he is living with the neighnour in the 1901 census) but it looks like he was the only child.

CaroleW - How did you find the marriage record for Charlot Knight and John G Knight?? Do you have an index that lists the details, or did you access the marriage certificate?? I am using the search on Ancestry.co.uk and it only shows me the surname, it doesn't show the person they married (I think this came in later years).

By the way, thanks for all the helpful suggestions.

Thanks Joe, I really appreciate your efforts.

What marriage record did you find??  The index I found is for Charlotte Kyme married oct/nov/dec 1883. Registered in Sculcoates vol - 9a page 281.

No I can't seem to find John Knight on the census. The name is a bit too common and it returns hundreds of entries.  :(

I was hoping the marriage certificate might narrow it down a bit (fathers name, location etc).

I have just found a Charlotte Kyme who was married in 1883. The index gives me a page number and volume but it doesn't tell me who she married. I then went to see if a John Knight was married at the same time and if the page number and volume matched. Do you know if this is a good way of checking (other than ordering a copy of her marriage certificate)??  Would they both have the same page number and volume??

Thanks for the info about the church and cemetry.

Charlotte Knight gave birth to my wifes grand-father on 1st January 1900. On the birth certificate the mothers name is Charlotte Knight (formerly Kime).

Unfortunately, on the 7th January 1900 (seven days after giving birth) she died. I have her death certificate and the cause of death was acute pneumonia. I expect it was related to the childbirth the previous week. 

I also thought that she might have been married before, and that might explain why I can't find her marriage certificate for her second marriage. If Kime was her maiden name then it would have changed to something else after her first marriage. Since I don't know what it changed to then I can't find the marriage to John Knight.

However, if Kime was really her maiden name then I'd expect to find a birth certificate in around 1863/4. She might have been born somewhere else. I've checked the Scottish BMD index.

Unfortunately, her husband (John Knight) has quite a common name so it is difficult to find his birth or death, so I was hoping that their marriage certificate would give me some clues.

Sorry my mistake about the date. I typed it incorrectly.  :)   Thanks for double checking.

I have searched on Ancestry.co.uk and the National Archives web site, and I can't seem to find any Charlotte Kimes in census/birth/marriage records between 1863/4 and 1900.  Maybe she was not from the UK and got married abroad ?!?!

Since she died in the parish of St. Andrews in Worcester I was hoping that the parish records may have some info about her. Possibly her gravestone would have more info?!?

It's strange because Kime is not a very common name so I thought I would find things easily.

Worcestershire Lookup Requests / St. Andrew (Worcester) - KIME or Kyme
« on: Saturday 30 September 06 21:39 BST (UK)  »
I am trying to track down any information in the parish registers for the following person

Name:                Charlotte Knight (nee Kime or Kyme)
Married to:         John Knight
DOB:                  approx 1873/4
Date of death:   7th January 1900
Place of death:  1 Pheasant street, Worcester. St Andrew parish (worcester)

I have not been able to trace any BMD or census records for her, soI have hit a brick wall. I am hoping that things like parish records may provide a bit more information, and if I can find a gravestone this may provide more info.

Meath / Searching for Launcelot Lowther
« on: Thursday 07 July 05 22:01 BST (UK)  »
I am searching for a Launcelot Lowther who may have been born in Co Meath in 1775. We believe that he appears later on in Bradford-on-Avon, Wiltshire.

Any help would be much appreciated

Oxfordshire / Re: TOOLEY FAMILY
« on: Thursday 16 June 05 21:25 BST (UK)  »
My mother is a Tooley from Boston in Lincolnshire. As far as I know (I'll have to ask her) they have been in Boston for many generations, so I don't know if they would connect to your family.

In St Botolphs church (in Boston)  there are some memorials to Tooleys (dating back to the 1600's I think), so these may be of interest to you.

Regards,

Jonathan
