Can anyone give me any information on my Grandad Jack McKnight. He was a boxer in the 30s and fought over 200 fights. Im trying to trace my family tree. He had 4 children. Kathleen, Lily, David, and Patricia. he moved to Leicester during his boxing years. but was from the Belfast area. Shankhill road I believe. I think his mother was called Elizibeth and his father called David, And I think he had brothers call James, Robert and Hance and a sister called Isobell. I would love to know more .........
