There's a case in the paper

THE POISONING CASE.
The Leicester Chronicle: or, Commercial and Agricultural Advertiser (Leicester, England), Saturday, December 06, 1856

involving a Samuel Wedge

Eliza gives evidence as she has been stepping out with him and the she lives with her mother Catherine in Benford Street. She says she has a father but he is not in the town.
Eliza later marries Samuel

Many thanks Willsy, the article about the poisoning case is very interesting. I thought that Thomas and Catherine must be living separately but couldn't find Catherine after 1841 so it looks like she began calling herself Caroline.  :)

This one, a report on the evidence

Leicestershire Mercury 29 November 1856

Lists her as Caroline

Eliza says.....my mother, aunt and brother and a young man who lives with us, were in the house at the time....

Was looking at Ann Fowkes last night but will have another look, there is a Thomas Fowkes witness at Catherine's marriage

So it looks like Ann was Catherine's sister and either married a Fowkes then married Thomas Fowkes or changed her name to Fowkes before she married Thomas. I haven't started on the females of the grandfather Knights yet so didn't have those dates so thanks for letting me have them Willsy.

Does the article mention who was poisoned or why?

I have Thomas and Catherine's children as
Leic St Margaret:
Ann 1820
William 1822
Eliza 1825 buried 1826
Louisa and John James 24.10.1827
and possibly Eliza Ann bapt 30.5.1834

Leic St George
Thomas Edward 9.2.1831 (I have his details as Thomas B: 1838)
Elizabeth 1832
Joseph 1839

I wonder if Thomas Edward died before 1838 and there was a baby boy born in 1838 who was named for his dead sibling as, indeed, Eliza Ann may have been.
This research has certainly become a lot more interesting than I thought it would be thanks to your help Willsy.
