	Baptism: 19 Jun 1840 St James, Brindle, Lancashire, England Stephen Knowles - Son of Mary Knowles Abode: Brindle Occupation: Widow Baptised by: Charles Edwd Kendal Rector Register: Baptisms 1813 - 1844, Page 184, Entry 1472 Source: LDS Film 1849648 From Lancs OPC The fact that there is no reference to the father would imply that it wasn't Mary's late husband

	Have pmed you in reply to yours, but didn't find a baptism online for Joseph, Thomas or Mary Knowles jr. I think you should do as Somerset girl suggested and send for and see what's on Stephen's birth cert - at the very least you'll get Mary's maiden name and can try tracing her line further back. My feeling is that Stephen may not have been the child of Mary's late husband, and born too late to be passed off as such. Shame the 1841 didn't give marital status.

	thankyou for looking that up for me!! what does IGI stand for??
Member Since: April 2005 Posts: 6,752 Send Message	Kucinta	Report	31 Jul 2010 13:55
	The IGI has the following extracted baptism for Stephen Knowles: 19 JUN 1840 Brindle, Lancashire, England Parents given as Mary Mrs Knowles, so it looked like either he was was born after his father died, or his father died shortly after Stephen's birth. Or Mary was a widow, and the father unknown, as no father's name is given.
