Served between 1901-1909? Knott

[SASHAR]

I am trying to locate ANY records for a Henry Mayne KNOTT who is believed to have served (not sure where or who with) between 1901-1909.
Family story is that he deserted & changed his name to William Charles Knott.   He was born Bristol, Gloucester between 1875-1878 (depending on what records you have)and his fathers name was also Henry Mayne Knott.
He was employed as Henry Mayne Knott, a Cooper, in the 1901 Census & married under the name William Charles Knott in 1909, Gloucester.
Any help appreciated - thankyou, Sharon

I am also searching for Mayne Knott's I am currently developing our family tree on GenesReunited but can pass on my research so far and would be grateful to see what you have. If you get onto the EllisIsland website you will see that:
Henry Mayne Knott (aged 32 in 1907)
His wife Bessie Hamblin Knott (25)
and his daughter Mabel Dorothy and son Harold Herbert emigrated to the USA from Southampton on Aug 15th 1907 on the ship Teutonic. He recorded his occupation as Cooper and was heading to Sacramento. I believe US records show he died in 1954 in Sacramento. I may have found a DOD for his son in Coconino Arizona in 1986. Henry had put the following name and address as his next of kin on the shipping manifest:
Henry Mayne Knott
77 Portway
Warminster
Wilts

Thankyou for your reply.  I would love anything to help me unravel these Knotts.  I have had a great lot of help on this site but so far a William Charles Knott with a father Henry Mayne Knott cannot be found.  My sister is connected by marriage to this family and she was hoping to give a Scrapbook to her mother-in-law for her 80th birthday.  However, no one in the family seems to know much about William Charles's background.  We received the info that his father was Henry Mayne Knott from his marriage in 1909 at Gloucester.  As no-one could find a connection between these 2 we are know clutching at straws and thought that maybe the HMKnott that married Bessie could well have been William Charles.  There is a family story that either WC or his father HM changed their name at some stage, deserted either from the military (maybe a wife?).  Be interested to know exactly how many HMKnott's are out there - I'm getting very confused with it all.
Love to hear back from you - Sharon
PS -  What do I do about giving you me email address?
Do I just put Ellis Island into Google to find that site?

Hello again,  I am a member of GenesReunited as well - I just checked and I did send you a message in May trying to connect William Charles to Henry Mayne.
If you have your info on GR, that might be the other way I can view your Knott genealogy.
Found the Ellis Island site and Henry Mayne on there - thanks for that - Sharon

I am still building up GenesReunited will have completed by end of Aug. I believe the name Mayne Knott dates only as far as 1813. In my own family tree with have one Henry Mayne Knott whose is supposed to have 3 children (this could be the ones from 23 Cobden st Gloucester -1881 census). As yet this cannot be proved as I don't have a specific date for our Henry Mayne Knott but do know his father was Richard Mayne Knott) There are at least 2 others, I believe these are linked to the first generation of Mayne knotts where I have blanks for a couple of children although we do know they existed. If you send me your address I will post on what I have (most is from our family bible and research carried out in 1945 by my great uncle) as it's not yet complete or added to the GenesReunited website.
Regards, Richard M Knott
