Birth & marriage look-up Samuel Knight
« on: Thursday 26 July 07 14:34 BST (UK) »
Samuel Knight was born in Kirkby Lancs in 1788. He was a shoemaker and I think was married to an Ann. He had a brother called Thomas and a sister called Ann.
Samuel and (Ann) had 4 children one being my great grandfather John who was born in Silecroft, Cumberland. Can anyone help please.
Thanks

You may have this already Lindy:

 Ann  Knight 40  Y
William Knight   15 - Shoe Maker Y
Isabella Knight   13  Y
John Knight 8 -  Y
Dorothy Knight   4 -  Y

and

Thomas Knight   25 - Agricultural Labourer Y

The IGI has a marriage of Samuel Knight & Ann Kirkby 20 NOV 1824  Whicham, Cumberland

Perhaps you should post to the Cumberland board and request a lookup of the marriage
TRAVIS/ROCHDALE-OLDHAM-TODMORDEN-ASHTON-U-LYNE-BURY AREAS
DALTON/WIDNES- CHESHIRE-THORNTON-FLEETWOOD

Interesting that he was born in Kirkby Lancs and married a Kirkby from Cumberland!

Thanks for all that info  -  I must admit I did not know about Isabella and John.
 As Samuel had a brother called Thomas perhaps the young Thomas was Samuel's nephew. It is strange that Samuel was born in Kirkby and his wife's maiden name was the same - is it too much of a coincidence? Thanks for you advice,  I will ask people in Cumberland to look up Samuel and Ann's marriage.

Hello - this is an old thread but I have Samuel Knight died 1795 of Cockfish Hall, Kirkby-in-Furness as my 6 x great grandfather. Father of Agnes, James, John, Richard and Thomas. His wife was called Anne. I have no birth record for Samuel - or for his daughter, Agnes. No record of his wife’s birth or death. I have seen that her maiden name was Partridge but don’t know if that’s correct. By the way, your query about the name Kirkby - there are a lot of Kirkbys in Kirkby! They were the major land owners there.
