Don't know how much of this info. you have already

William Henry Knight married Elizabeth Ellen Gray on Christmas Day 1881, at Holy Trinity Church, Barking Road, Canning Town. The groom was a carpenter, living at 28 Grange Road, and the bride at 1 Jane Cottages.  Witnesses were Benjamin Gray (bride's father - who 'made his mark') and  an Anne Squires.

Can dig out firther history if you wish.
