I think Margarets bvri information above is the most useful bit of evidence. Fathers name given as John Knight,.

Dawn pmd with this as the ref for the 1841 birth???


"Birth ref is Stourbridge 18 400. I don't know if this is the correct format for 1841- not been here before"

We would like to know where you got that from Dawn?

Ah, right, found it, you have got an un named Male child Knight : September quarter 1841. Why do you think this is definitely him?

Sept 1841
Knight Male Stourbridge 18 400

If you use that ref on the GRO online site you can buy the cert for £7. It may be that you have asked the local office for it? - they do not use the same referencing system as GRO.

I don't think you were talking to/about me, Heather? I saw Margaret's and I think it's a good one, I just wanted to address the "J" possible.

As for the "male" -- that is almost always used for a birth where the infant died very shortly after birth, without being named.


Dawn - you have got to reply by posting in the thread, not by private message! Just like we all do.

Click on the purple Reply button up at the top of the thread, and a box will open so you can type your message.

They hide it that way so you won't find it.

Nope, I wasnt talking about you :) Ive just had to read what you actually put! You found a birth for a Knight in 1845? Nope, definitely hadnt even taken that on board, I was referring to the birth in 1841 that Dawn is looking for.

Its just how often very good info is missed by the OPs because they tend to read the last post and not previous ones. And just see/comment on the last bit of info. As you state in your posting there "simple question, often asked" ............ which just backs up what I said.

I didnt suggest the "male" birth - its the one that Dawn has been pursuing - Im not sure why - thats why I asked her. (see my previous post)

in defence of someone who has repeated something some one said before. i read all posts but sometimes thishappens because I have read something and by the time i have responded some one adds the same thing I was going to add .

Well at least it shows people are on the same wavelenght.

Aargh. ;)

I wasn't talking at anybody in particular -- just pointing out that the 'male' birth, if that's the one Dawn or anybody else was looking at, would ordinarily be for a child who died very shortly after birth.

That and the "I-----" birth are two that had been mentioned -- the "male" can pretty much be discarded, and the "I----" seems to be the wrong year ...

yes i stand down its an I not a J....late night last night bit boss eyed :)

The Male Knight - that is the reference Dawn pmd me.

Derek, not talking about repeating particularly but the fact that sometimes some one can give really decent information but the OP doesnt seem to notice if it is a few posts back.

off with their heads that wot i say

so is the mystery solved or we still on?

LOL, not really Derek, we still havent got the birth cert, but I think the first thing is the marriage cert. The BVRI Margaret gave has father as John Knight. But dont really know if this Jason is a Knight or not now.

well we have two marriage certs that can be purchased as he appeared to have gotten married twice!

good thinkin to have both wives called eliza...getting names mixed up wouldnt have been a prob for him!! :)
