Find Ancestors

The family you have posted is the correct one, my father was the youngest. Thank you all for your time and efforts I will try the links you have given me sorry for the delay this is my third attempt to say thanks Albert

The family that you have posted is the right family my father was the youngest born 1902. It seems he never saw much of his mother. Thankyou you all for giving up your time for me I will ck out the links to see if i can find anything in them,
Cheers again Albert

I did visit Lancashire a little while ago but was looking at the wrong Louisa Knight There is one record of a Louisa Knight being released to her husband in 1914 having been admitted in 1903 but i cant find any readmittance

Lancashire Records office

Tel: 01772 533039

Witnesses names on their mrg cert are not known to me not connected with my family as far as I know

Try Lancaster District Library, as suggested by this:

http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/hospitalrecords/details.asp?id=1383&hospi

It says they have some records.

[EDIT: But it says the files are closed for 100 years.]

*************

the old records of the Lancaster Lunatic Asylum - later - Lancaster Moor Hospital, are held at the
Lancashire Record Office, Bow Lane, Preston. Lancs. PR1 2RE


Many of the records also have a photo of the patient.


.

Richard Knight was 38 when he mrd Louisa he was a widower with a family. Louisa's fathers occupation from my interpretation is Latner which I understand to be a type of metal worker

Looks like Ricihard with first wife.

1891

Richard Knight 33
Mary Ann Knight 33
John J Knight 13
Richard E Knight 10
Sarah J Knight 4
Elizabeth E Knight 3
Mary A Knight 58 - mother
Frederic J Knight 13 - brother

It's highly unlikely that the hospital would still have the medical records.

Anyway, it seems to have closed down years ago.

Whether or not this Louisa is your relative, I'm sorry for her being in there, having read the above.

The 1901 census is the only one that I can say is correct. Unable to trace her in any other

The death cert I have just says widowed /husbands name Knight it was whispered in the family that my G/m died in a mental hospital in Lancaster hence the dth cert that i have from the gro. Mrg cert says age 23 farther John. Unable to connect birth with a John for that year. What I would like to know whether i can connect Louisa Knight with my Richard perhaps through hospital records/archives.

She's not with the family in 1911. Maybe already in hospital?? Do any of the childrens' names mean anything to you, Albert? Is this the right family?:

What was the fathers occupation on the marriage cert please Albert? and how old was Richard?

I can't see her on any census with a father called John. Only the one Roots put up with father Samuel.
