Thank you for your information. I'm a bit puzzled. Was Jacks real name Robert ???
I visited your Grandmothers and Grandfathers house in Rothley when I was a little girl. And I remember who would be your Aunt Elizebeth.
Mum Mum went over to Canada to visit James. I have a really old photograph here of them when they were much younger. I'm going to try to see if I can attach it on here somehow. X

I have been searching for records of my Grandad Jack McKnight. He was a boxer in the 1930s and was from the Antim area. My Mum used to say the Shankhill Road area. I am sure this is the same family. Can someone enlighten me. My Grandmother was called Charlotte and they went on to have 4 children. Kathleen, Lily, David and Patricia. Kathleen being my mother who was born in Leicester as Jack was over having a fight at the time. Can anyone enlighten me with more info ????

Can anyone give me any information on my Grandad Jack McKnight. He was a boxer in the 30s and fought over 200 fights. Im trying to trace my family tree. He had 4 children. Kathleen, Lily, David, and Patricia. he moved to Leicester during his boxing years. but was from the Belfast area. Shankhill road I believe. I think his mother was called Elizibeth and his father called David, And I think he had brothers call James, Robert and Hance and a sister called Isobell. I would love to know more .........
