Leicestershire Lookup Requests / James Knight B1871-D1891
« on: Monday 17 August 09 20:57 BST (UK) »
I am havng difficulty tracing birth cert for my gt grandad. He married Amelia Chamberlain in Thurlaston, Leicester 26/11/1891 Age 20 - Father William (Salesman). He died accidentally 09/12/1891 Age 21 at Croft Stone Quarry. (My grandma Annie Elizabeth born July 1892) Leicestershire Record Office have not got inquest report. Aggregate Co not responded as yet.
The only 2 x James Knight born in Leicestershire 1871 I have found were rejected by GRO 'father not named William' A Jim Knight (10years) on 1881 census father not William either.
I'm thinking maybe he was not born in Leicestershire area as his father was a salesman, but don't know where to look now as there are loads. Maybe the local newspaper report for his death (but doubt his birth info will be included)
Any ideas/hel would be very appreciated.
N.B This is my very first message so forgive my ranting on
