« on: Saturday 03 October 09 11:18 BST (UK) »
Hi I am trying to find where my grandfather was born! He is listed in 1911 census as being aged 33 born in Windsor Berkshire. On his marriage certificate in 1906 his father is named as John Knight labourer. Can anyone enlighten me with any information on the family etc any help on this greatly appreciated

theres a candidate in 1881 - right DoB and Father etc, but born in Bray ........

free access to the  Ancestry site Index, or use FamilySearch site ( www.familysearch.org - 1881 British Census)

RG11; Piece: 1315; Folio: 53; Page: 5


Heres my transcription from the LDS Site (FamilySearch)

John KNIGHT  Head M 28 b Bray, Berkshire Gen Lab      
S. KNIGHT Wife M 30 b Wallingford, Berkshire           
A. KNIGHT Son 8 b Bray, Berkshire Scholar      
E. KNIGHT Daur 6 b Bray, Berkshire Scholar      
 G. KNIGHT Son 4  Bray, Berkshire          
 A. KNIGHT Daur 2 Bray, Berkshire           

Oakley Green
RG11/1315/53 p 5

In 1891 he's a 'Drover', so 'Cowman' as per marriage could be good.


BUT, if I have the right man in 1901, he's a 'Coal Carter'   ::)
