I am trying to clear a mystery up,involving Florence Lettice Knight and her parents,she was born 8 August 1879 at Westmoreland Road Newington,her parents were given as Arthur Knight and Lettice White,the problem being i have marriage certificate for Lettice White to Robert White at Islington registry office on 15 Oct.1870,i found them on 1871 census down as lodgers Lettices birth place correct,on 1881 census i have Arthur and Lettice with daughter Florrie,Arthurs age makes his year of birth about four years after that of Robert on 1871 census,both give place of birth as Reigate,i have a family of Thomas Knight at Reigate with two sons Robert and Arthur whose ages match my two,i have a death certificate forb a Robert Knight 9 November 1871 at Islington and checking 1871 census my Robert Knight is only one in Islington and age on death certificate matches,but informant is not Lettice.To further complicate things on marriage certificate,Florence gives father as Robert Knight deceased,Lettice re-married to James Jory in 1899 and i have found them on 1901 census,but cannot find Lettice on 1911 census or a death registration and James Jory is on 1911 census but not as widow
