William Knowles of Stonehaven
« on: Monday 23 March 09 13:36 GMT (UK) »
Trying to trace the parents or siblings of William Knowles who was born in Stonehaven in 1777-78. He joined the Royal Horse Artillery in 1794 and upon discharge lived in Lewes, Sussex. He married Jane Harman of Lewes and died there in 1852.  Any details as to his birth would be much appreciated.
Many thanks.

The Fetteresso Register of Baptisms includes the years you mention i.e. 1777 - 1778 but there is no entry for William Knowles.  The Kirk levied a charge for recording baptisms and some were unable to afford it or chose not to.

Thanks for that Isles. I know from his army discharge notes that he was born in the parish of Stonehaven so I suppose I'll have to be content with that and call it a day on William Knowles and my Scottish ancestry.
