Edward Knight
« on: Wednesday 17 November 10 20:49 GMT (UK) »
Hello,

I'm trying to research the family of Edward Knight who I believe was born in Co. Mayo in about 1868.   He married my paternal grandmother Jane Roberts sometime in the late 1890's.  So far I have been totally unable to find any marriage reference for them.

They are both living in Toxteth,Liverpool in 1898 and by 1902 have moved to Kirkdale, Liverpool.

Their children are John b. 1898, Ellen b. 1899 and died 1899 or 1900, Lillian b. 1900 or 1901, Ada (my grandmother) born 1902 and then Edward, William and James.  Birth dates for these could be 1905, 1911 and 1916.   

Edward worked as a horse groom / ostler in Toxteth and then as a coal dealer in Kirkdale.

If anyone recognises any of these names I would be pleased to hear from you.

Jan

Have you searched for the marriage in civil registration index (online and free)?

Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

Thanks for your reply, yes I've searched and searched the civil registration index with different spellings, dates etc. but cannot find any reference.

Have been hoping to find relatives of their children but to date no joy there either.
