Fantastic bedfordshire boy
Then we should be looking for the Bright/ly/s, Father Barnaby/Barnabas, in Northants then in 1841/1851?

No, Ramsey was in Hunts even for census purposes! But isn't it her aged 5 with Barnyby (transcribed as Bambyby)  Stevens in 1841 as mentioned by you a few posts ago?

I tend to think it is her in 1841 but cant confirm it by any other means.
Unfortunately I am about to have guests for lunch so have to sign out. People always disturb my research

EDIT;

I have just read your link. Wow what a Family. Thanks for that. i think I am safer toiling in the Kitchen.

Cheers,

The marriage cert should confirm her father as Barnaby (or otherwise!).

My insomnia is passing so I'm going back to bed! Enjoy lunch

Yes, that is the best idea Jonathon

This is Barnaby and Kezias marriage, from www.freereg.org.uk

Kezia HOLLIS
Barnabas STEVENS
11 October 1827, St Thomas A'Becket, Ramsey, Huntingdon

So what we know for you so far is that Ann is the daughter of Barnabas and Kezia . Also that Barnabas is illegitimate and his Father was a Blight/y.

Sorry I was really thick on this one!  Look for Ann Brighty and didn't have her, missed my circa 1836 Ann Stevens on my list.

Barnabas and Keziah are my direct ancestors so I have quite a lot on them but have to leave it for now as visitors arrived!

Hi Selina,
We have all made mistakes like that
I am just going to post 1861 Census for Jonathan and then will leave this thread for you two to get in touch.

Cheers,
Trish

God only knows how bedfordshire boy found this

1861 Census
Holme, Northampshire
RG9/964/63/7

William SLOUGH(Knight), 31, mar, laborer, Hants, Holme
Ann, 25, wife, Hunts, Ramsey
James, 7, son, scholar, Hants, Holme
Ann, 3, daug, Hants, Holme
Mary, 10mths, daug, Hants, Holme

Mary appears to have died 1862 on Freebmd as she is not on 1871 Census.

What confuses me is that Henry turns up age 15 in 1871
There is a christening record for him though,
Henry Alfred KNIGHT
2 March 1856, Holme, Huntingdonshire
Parents, William and Ann

Now that I have got my brain in gear - thank you David and Trish for the bits you have added that probably relate to my family.  I shall look into that line further now. 

Barnabas and Keziah (nee Hollis) Stevens (alias Brighty etc) were my Gt. Gt. Grandparents.

They had a daughter Ann born circa 1836 and she is with them in the 1841 and 1851 Census at Ramsey.  I had nothing more on her and I am descended from Ann's brother John Brighty Stevens.

So Jonathan it looks like we have a connection.  If you refer back to the earlier postings on the other thread on the main Huntingdon board you will pick up quite a bit of stuff re my Barnabas Stevens.

The dual use of the Stevens/Brighty names carried on for many years. 

However the one name that I would love to find is the maiden name of Alice the mother of illegitimate Barnabas, apparently fathered by Barnabas Brighty, and who married (unknown forename) Stevens.
