St. Andrew (Worcester) - KIME or Kyme

[JonLowther]

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.

I think there are 4 people on a page with the same number - 2 brides and 2 grooms

one way to sort out who married who is to look for both grooms in the next census and see their wifes' names.

otherwise you will have to get the certificate

Was your wife's grandad their first child? What was John's occupation?

Joe - is this what you saw on the 1891 census

There is a Charlot Knight b 1865 Warwick married to John G Knight and they are living in Handsworth Staffs.  However, I found the marriage and she wasn't Charlotte Kime/Kyme.  They had a one year old daughter - Margaret E

Hi Jon

My paternal grandmother was married twice, my father was the result of the second marriage and on his birth certificate his mother's former name is given as her first married name and not maiden name.  Hope you follow    So Kime could come from a first marriage.

What is John Knight's occupation on the birth certificate, could narrow down the census search?

Knight's are very numerous,  I was one

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.

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?!?

I thought I had found John in the census last night. There is a whole Knight family, originally from Nottinghamshire, with father and two sons bakers. One son is John Charles but his age doesn't quite fit (1876ish) and in 1901 he is married with a couple of kids.
