Are these the right parents. Knight / Phillips

[wilcoxon]

I`m wondering if this couple had all these children .

Ruabon:  5 Feb 1760 mar. by Banns of William Knight (x) of Llangollen & Catherine Philips (x) otp  Wits: Edward Jones, Edward Edwards.

This marriage would fit in with the children , but is Catherine too old to be the mother 20 years after the marriage .

I`m  looking at Edward Knight b 1772

Sadly, I've packed up my Ruabon booklets but will have a scout around to see what I can find. 

It would very much depend on how old she was when she married but 20 years after is not out of the question at all. 

Do you have any rough idea of her birth date?

Got my box undone and the burial records out!

Found a burial for a Catherine Knight in Ruabon 10 Oct 1818, aged 77, which makes her born circa 1741. If this is her,  she would  be only about 39 in 1780 so not too old at all to have a child.

However, there's a death on FS for a William Knight in 1772, Ruabon

No age given so could be the 1763 one ......................

Thanks, it does seem the Knights may have moved from Llangollen.

I have the will of Edward Knight b 1772,
Knight, Edward, Cefn Mawr, Rhiwabon, Denbigh, Stone mason 
Edward Knight : will, 1837

and there is Edward Knight : will, 1726.  Llangollen, Denbigh, Tailor/Gent 

All  the rest of them are mostly from Monmouthshire or Montgomeryshire.
