A big thank you for the information, yes this is the family that my wife is related to. There were two other brothers, Jack, and David.  Jack became a champion boxer, and David lived in England with his sister Isabella, or Isobel during the last days of his life.

Tom, is this you?
When you say your wife's mother was born at 4 Kilarney Street, you've either got to be my dad or my uncle!
So, at No.4 Kilarney Street, we have
David John McKnight 1879-1961
Elizabeth (Lizzie) McKnight -nee Haire 1879-1954
Samuel McKnight 1904-1968
David 1907-1969
Elizabeth 1908-1916
Robert James 1911-1969
George 1913-1913
Hance 1915-1987 (he didn't have a middle name)
James 1917-1994
and
Grandma Isabella (Isobel)

In 1911 I have the family living at 24 Derry Street, so they must've moved sometime between 1911 and 1920 to Kilarney Street.
Also, David McKnight senior's mother, Elizabeth McKnight, nee Evans was possibly also living at Kilarney Street in 1920. She died in 1921 in hospital, but Kilarney Street is given as her address.

Depending on when they moved not all the above people would've lived at Kilarney Street, for example George and Elizabeth jnr may not have lived there.

I have been searching for records of my Grandad Jack McKnight. He was a boxer in the 1930s and was from the Antim area. My Mum used to say the Shankhill Road area. I am sure this is the same family. Can someone enlighten me. My Grandmother was called Charlotte and they went on to have 4 children. Kathleen, Lily, David and Patricia. Kathleen being my mother who was born in Leicester as Jack was over having a fight at the time. Can anyone enlighten me with more info ?

For reference-

Can anyone give me any information on my Grandad Jack McKnight. He was a boxer in the 30s and fought over 200 fights. Im trying to trace my family tree. He had 4 children. Kathleen, Lily, David, and Patricia. he moved to Leicester during his boxing years. but was from the Belfast area. Shankhill road I believe. I think his mother was called Elizibeth and his father called David, And I think he had brothers call James, Robert and Hance and a sister called Isobell. I would love to know more .........

Morning,
Sorry for the delay, not always able to check my phone and I did receive your messages so I apologise for not letting you know.
I looked at the link and that certainly seems like him.
I'll see if I can find a photo of him and send as an attachment on here -just to make sure we're definitely talking about the same person but I think we are.
