JAMES KNIGHTS SON OF WILLIAM KNIGHTS AND HANNAH BLOWERS ...I HAVE JAMES KNIGHTS BORN 1846 GISLEHAM SUFFOLK MARRIED TO JULIA GOODALL BORN 1851 BRADFIELD I HAVE THEM AS MARRIED IN GISLEHAM 13-1-1868 COULD SOMEONE PLEASE CHECK THIS OUT FOR ME THANKYOU.........

On FreeBMD he shows on a marriage in the March quarter 1868 (4a 895) in Mutford (straddles Norfolk and Suffolk). There are 3 men listed and only one woman so it may be the one. Only other way to check it is to trawl through the BMDs on Ancestry for that quarter - if she appears with the same reg district and number then it's them. Jill

Have checked on full bmd index and found Julia Goodall 1st qtr 1868 reg dist Mutford 4a 895. Think freebmd have an error, and have her down as John? Sue

She's there - same reg - same no. Mutford 4a 895 - Mar Q 1868. Jill

hi maureen thanks for info i don,t have certificate i had him as married to a elizabeth ? on my tree that i got from cesus records last year but since then i have been sent this new info from an unknown source and i need to find out if new info is correct or what i allready had a bit confusing yes........

hi jill thanks for looking have explained everything in reply to maureen see what you think......

Births Jun 1870 Knights Barzillai Mutford 4a 744

Which child are you descended from? You need the birth certificate of the child in question which will give you mum and dad's names - plus mum's maiden name. You're in danger of picking up on wrong marriage if you're trying to work this out from census returns. Jill

I see the problem 1881 choice of 2 James Knights Julia abt 1847 Gisleham Head Kessingland James Knights Elizabeth abt 1844 Gisleham, Suffolk, England Head Pakefield Maureen

hi jill i know that i have JAMES and his parents correct it,s just who he was married to is the problem ....JULIA GOODALL or ELIZABETH ???

HI MAUREEN BIT CONFUSING IS,NT IT.....

Hi Gary If you had one of the birth certificates of one of their children that would tell you mum's name. Jill

hi JILL it would help but i now have 2 james knights both born in the same area at roughly the same time 2 different wives and two different lots of children.......

If nobody can come up with a conclusive answer to this, the only way to be sure you are on the right track will be to obtain both possible marriage certificates. You say you are sure of James's parents, so hopefully his father's name will appear on only one of them. Have had to do this myself.....costs money I know, but only way to be sure. Sue

Gary, If you can confirm your research with certificates and census info then only you will know which is the right one. Good luck, Maureen

thanks sue that may have to be an option...........
