John Moyse Knight father seems to be John Knight butcher in 1851 and appears on 1841 census with wife Elizabeth the most likely death for Elizabeth I have found is Deaths Dec 1849 Knight Elizabeth St Austell 9 4 making his mother Elizabeth - St Austell covers Tywardreath and the most likely birth I have found for John is Births Mar 1844 KNIGHT John Mors St Austel 9 21 which again covers Tywardreath The best way forward is to order the birth cert of John Mors Knight which will give you Elizabeths maiden name I found it http://freebmd.rootsweb.com but also matches IGI which again gives parents as John and Elizabeth

John KNIGHT = Elizabeth WILLIAMS 14 Aug 1825 Tywardreath
I note one of the children had the middle name Williams
No wife Mary Ann - a different John Knight married Maria Williams in Roche in 1826 - at least 3 children born to John and Elizabeth in St Blazey before Tywardreath baptisms
Baptisms St Blazey
Elizabeth 28 Dec 1828 Samuel Joseph 8 Aug 1830 John 7 Apr 1833 buried 29 Nov 1835 Tywardreath aged 2 years
Baptisms Tywardreath
Jane 3 May 1835 Mary Ann Grace 11 Jun 1837 Margaret Williams 7 Apr 1839 Jane 29 Nov 1840 John Mors 7 Apr 1844
These baptisms all agree with the census and mother for all is Elizabeth
