His birth reg

Births December qtr 1870 
Blenkinsop Knowles   Whitehaven  10b 548

His birth cert will confirm whether his parents were Wilson and Margaret and if so - for some unknown reason you will find him on the 1871 census as Hilton Knowles aged 4mths

Marriages September qtr 1858

Margaret Blenkinsop   Whitehaven  10b 594   
Wilson Knowles    Whitehaven  10B 594

I know this is from a long time back, but in 1804 a George Blenkinsop married an Elizabeth Hilton in Whitehaven area, and the Hilton name was used several times in the family and related families that they married into / with ....
Threlfall (Southport), Isherwood (lancs & Canada), Newbould + Topliss(Derby), Keating & Cummins (Ireland + lancs), Fisher, Strong& Casson (all Cumberland) & Downie & Bowie, Linlithgow area Scotland . Also interested in Leigh& Burrows,(Lancashire) Griffiths (Shropshire & lancs), Leaver (Lancs/Yorks) & Anderson(Cumberland and very elusive)
