JOHN KNIGHT c1799 East Grinstead
« on: Tuesday 30 June 09 16:29 BST (UK) »
I'm new to this so if I go wrong , I hope someone will please put me right.

I'm trying to find the parents of my 2xG/grandfather, JOHN KNIGHT. This is the info that I have on him.
Christened-- Oct 27/1799 East Grinstead Sussex
Married--June 02/1824       ~          ~             ~      to CHARLOTTE PARKER.
Died--1866 East Grinstead Sussex.
Census Entries
1841--No trace
1851--Living with Charlotte & family @ East Grinstead Common,Brickmaker, born Lingfield, Surrey.
1861--   ~      ~          ~      &  3 remaining children living at home, names & ages agree  10 yrs on with previous census.This time he is born in  East Grinstead. Brickmaker.

In the 1841 census, there is a CHARLOTTE MARTIN living in East Grinstead with a JOHN MARTIN & children the same name, sex & age as the 1851 census shows (taking into account the 10 year difference)for JOHN KNIGHT.
The LDS website gives JOHN KNIGHT'S mother as a MARY KNIGHT but whether this is a married  or maiden name , I have no idea, I can find no marriage either,so I'm left with useless suspicions. Hoping someone can help me get through this wall.Thanks
