Hi Taurus52
Welcome to RootsChat :D

There is an Edmund baptised to William and Elizabeth Knape 18 May 1765 at Walsoken, could that be him

Ooops, there's a burial of Edmund Knape further down the page.

And one of a Margaret, wife of Edward Knape.

I've looked at the marriages, as I know you will have Yokel, and can't see it in Walsoken.

The first baptism I can find by Edward and Hannah Knape at Walsoken is Joseph, baptised 12 July 1778.

The writing isn't too clear on those AT's is it?

Two scenarios - Edward was a widower when he married? And is older than we think.
(just thinking of the Margaret Knape wife of Edward who was buried at Walsoken)

Or a minor maybe, in which case there might be a marriage bond you can work your magic on Yokel!

Nope, can't find find one of those either :-\

Found the burials at Walsoken for
Edward Knape, bachelor, 21 Aug 1801
Hannah wife of Edward Knape 14 Sept 1801
Edward Knape, Farmer, 3 July 1803
unfortunately no ages given.
Both Edwards leave Wills, only the one for Edward 1801 available online.

Thank you so much. I have Edward Knape (son of Edward & Hannah) born about 1785 married a Susannah Gee 1806 but no death dates. I'm following their son William whom I think married Sarah Piggott in Wisbech. Any help would be very much appreciated
