[Skippy11]

William Knowles CORNTHWAITE left Caton in 1865 for New Zealand.
Does anyone have details of CORNTHWAITE`s from this period and area in theb UK.

Have a look at http://www.lan-opc.org.uk/Caton/index.html

Lists William Knowles baptism in Jun 1842 and details parents. Lots of other Cornthwaites listed in marriages etc so should help you piece it all together.

If he didnt go until 1865 you should find him on the 1861 census too - do you have access?

Hi Skippy11,

Also on Lancs OPC

Marriage: 9 Jun 1804 St Chad, Claughton, Lancashire, England
Michael Cornthwaite & Elizabeth Knowles, Licence
Witnesses, Robert Williamson, Christopher Knowles

Would explain the origin of the Knowles middle name in your family. Claughton is about two miles away from Brookhouse.
