Hi, wondering if anyone can find an elusive marriage please. Looking for the marriage of William Knight to an Ann, presumably close to Morton by Bourne. William was possibly born around 1796, to William and Mary, though the 1851 and 1861 census suggest he was a bit younger.
William and Ann had 4 children baptised in Morton by Bourne from 1828 to 1834 (John, William Rakales, Edward and George), then Ann died in late 1834 - aged 34 on burial - and William married again, to Vyana (transcribed in some places as Diana) Reed, in Morton in 1836. So I'm assuming William and Ann married in 1825-1827.....
There appears to be another William Knight in the area and of a similar age; he married Alice Ellis in 1819, 2 children, then she had 2 others after he had been 'sent to Van Diemen's land'. Have found some amazing bastardy and settlement records for Alice, as well as settlement records for what i think are her in laws, Oadley (Hoadley?) and Elizabeth Wright.
Thanks for reading.
