Thomas Knight

[Stevieport]

My Grandfather was born in Yarcombe Devon, married Florence and had one son Frederick and one daughter Gladys, has anyone come across this family in their research.

It'd help if you could give some dates, please?

Is his birth either of these?

Births March quarter 1889  Thomas Knight       Chard   

Births September quarter  1893    Thomas Gilbert Knight         Chard   

Added:
Was Gladys born in 1917 in Hackney?

Have you looked to see who else is researching the 'Knight' surname on here?

Hi,

Pleasure - was not sure what information you required.

I don't think anyone in the family has ever researched our ancestors so I thought I would make a start with my grandfather, your info has started me off, now I need to work out how to proceed.
Many thanks again.

To proceed you need to buy the certificates so that you can work backwards using all the information available.
