Brighty family - 1841/51 - Ramsey/Holme

[47813]

Hello all,

All I know about my GGG-Grandmother is that she was called Ann Brighty and she married my GGG-Grandfather William Knight in 1852. She was born abt 1835 in Ramsey or so she says in the census'

Sorry i've no more to go on then that but if anyone can help I would be most grateful

Thankyou

Do you have her marriage certificate which would give her father's name? She seems to have been married as Bright. How sure are you that she was Brighty?

Where have you looked for her prior to her marriage eg censuses? I can't find her

I'd searched for her under Bright* in both 1851 and 1841, and just as Ann* born Ramsey 1835+/-2 and still nothing. Looks like one of the cases where purchasing the marriage cert is required.

The GRO image is definitely BRIGHT, but it may have been mistranscribed from the marriage cert.

I am unable to find the Knights in 1861 when they should have at least 3 children with them.

This is one mixed up Family

Look it is going to take awhile but I think she is the daughter of Barnabas and Kezia.

Unfortunately I think she was christened under STEVENS, maybe Kezias name? and then Kezia married Barnaby and on some Census they are Stevens and some Bright

Just check these out;

1841, search for Bambyby STEVENS, born 1795, Ramsey, Hunts. Or HO107/448/13/Ramsey
1851, search for Barnabas STEVENER, born 1795, Ramsey
HO107/1748/143/7
1861, search for Barnabas BRIGHTY, born 1795, Ramsey
RG9/971/24/5

See what you think.

In 1861 they were living in Holme, Northants (Holme was actually in Hunts, but came under Northants for census purposes) indexed by Ancestry as Slough! I've submitted corrections
