I'm new to this so if I go wrong , I hope someone will please put me right.
I'm trying to find the parents of my 2xG/grandfather, JOHN KNIGHT. This is the info that I have on him. Christened-- Oct 27/1799 East Grinstead Sussex Married--June 02/1824 ~ ~ ~ to CHARLOTTE PARKER. Died--1866 East Grinstead Sussex. Census Entries 1841--No trace 1851--Living with Charlotte & family @ East Grinstead Common,Brickmaker, born Lingfield, Surrey. 1861-- ~ ~ ~ & 3 remaining children living at home, names & ages agree 10 yrs on with previous census.This time he is born in East Grinstead. Brickmaker.
In the 1841 census, there is a CHARLOTTE MARTIN living in East Grinstead with a JOHN MARTIN & children the same name, sex & age as the 1851 census shows (taking into account the 10 year difference)for JOHN KNIGHT. The LDS website gives JOHN KNIGHT'S mother as a MARY KNIGHT but whether this is a married or maiden name , I have no idea, I can find no marriage either,so I'm left with useless suspicions. Hoping someone can help me get through this wall.Thanks
