You will need her birth certificate to get the exact date of birth. Its free to look up www.freebmd*org.uk and on ancestry*com (replace the * with a . (dot)) There's is a Daisy Knights registered in Sep 1895 - go to freebmd for the exact reference. I could tell you, but its more fun to look yourself and learn - then you can look for Percival's birth and their marriage and all sorts of things Di

You need to buy the marriage cert to find out his age and the name and occupation of his father. Anything else would be guessing, and could send you down the wrong line completely. Reg

As you know the names, you should be able to find the marriage easily enough. Just register with Ancestry and start searching the images - start when Daisy would have been 16, and work your way through till you find it. Reg
