mcknight pryce
« on: Saturday 11 March 17 09:15 GMT (UK) »
Can someone point me in the right direction please.

Trying to find the birth on an Agnes McKnight Pryce born 1932 I know when and whom she married 1958 but the birth is baffling me.

Her father was John George Pryce.

Agnes is now deceased.

Would the McKnight perhaps be her mothers name or was it  used as a maiden name.

Agnes marries with an alternative surname of Murphy?

So her birth could be as Agnes Murphy, or Agnes Pryce, or even Agnes McKnight?!

Yes I know she married Murphy aka De Bie

I have tried the different names Agnes Pryce,Agnes McKnight and also McKnight Pryce can you add

any name yourself even if its not one you are registered with.

The actual marriage entry is:

Pryce, Agnes M     spouse Murphy
Pryce, Agnes M     spouse De Bie
Murphy, Agnes M  spouse De Bie
Murphy, Agnes M  spouse Murphy

De Bie, Berend A   spouse Murphy
De Bie, Berend A   spouse Pryce
Murphy, Bernard J   spouse Murphy
Murphy, Bernard J   spouse Pryce

Which shows that both Agnes and Berend/Bernard were known by other names, and that McKnight was not a surname.

Was Agnes denoted as a widow or a divorcee on the Marriage Certificate?

Finally, why do you think she was born in London?

Was stated as spinster on the marriage certificate.

Always said she came from London just remembered  her family was Jewish.

Have you looked at the 1939 Register?

There is, living in Wembley Metropolitan Borough:

Agnes M De Bie (Murphy, Pryce)  Birth year: 1932
John G Pryce
And 5 other people.
2 more people who are officially closed

The full record might offer further clues?
