Marriage and/or death for George KNIGHTON
« on: Tuesday 21 March 17 11:11 GMT (UK) »
I'm trying to work out what became of my 5x great grand uncle George Knighton.

This is what I know about him:

Baptised on 30 May 1779 in Holme, Huntingdonshire. Parents are Samuel Knighton and Elizabeth Whaples.

I have found no marriage or burial record for him in Holme, so I believe he moved to a nearby village or town.

Potential places based on the movements of his immediate family:

His parents came from Winwick, but I find no record for him there.

A sister, Mary, married a George Bolton and they settled in the nearby village of Glatton.

His younger brother Edward was married in Ramsey and then moved to Whittlesey, Cambridgeshire where he died shortly after.

He also had a brother Samuel who was married twice in Holme but I can't find a burial for him either.
