Hi, a couple of newspaper entries relating to the tragedy refer to Lucy simply as "a little girl named Knight" eg  Nottingham Evening Post 22 November 1906.

Mother (unnamed) was said to have been "dozing on a sofa in the same room" when the child's clothes caught fire.

Also, I think you have to remember that "adoption" was not official until 1927, so Edgar and Hephzibar may have "adopted" Lucy at some time between 1901 and Lucy's death.  Again her death certificate may be the answer.

1911 census entry suggests that both Hephzibar and Emily have lost one child.



Transcriptions and NBI are merely finding aids.  They are NOT a substitute for original record entries.

As I suggested, perhaps you should invest in the death certificate for Lucy and also perhaps her birth certificate.

Yes I agree with Bumble.
