Where does this family fit into your own FH.  Given the difference in surname we could waste a lot of time researching a different family.  1841 entry is incorrectly shown as McNight on Ancestry - error reported

I know my family history quite well.  Please don't do any research.

It's just Thomas McKnight's parents that are causing confusion.
McKnight, Veitch, Dougan, Tomkins, Shennan

Thanks for that.  I can't find that.

I can find Thomas McKnight son of George McKnight and Agnes Weir.

Do death certificates in England around 1867 have the name of the deceased persons parents on it ?

No, only the name of the informant (who may be a relative, friend etc)

I'm happpy that Thomas has a birth in Moffat.  That his parents were Alexander McKnight and Mary Craig.  I thought that would prove that this Thomas was the one who migrared to Liverpool.  But it doesn't really prove that.  I think it's probable.
