Find Ancestors

Leeanne, The image on British Origins is difficult to read .... I was guessing at Cowbury! I can't seem to drag anything out on ancestry ..... which is weird!

Jeez mhairi Don't know, there aren't any Cowbury's or similar in my tree or relevant census Could be

from the 1871 census on British Origins:- Could this be your Martin? Reference details Census 1871 TNA Ref xxxx Image No xxxx Folio No 64 Page No 50 Entry No 7 Location details County London-Surrey Superintendent Registrar's District ST SAVIOUR Registrar's Sub-District ST PETER WALWORTH Enumeration District No 2 Civil Parish ST MARY NEWINGTON City or Municipal Borough Municipal Ward ST PAUL Parliamentary Borough LAMBETH Town Village or Hamlet Local Board Ecclesiastical District ST PAUL Schedule No 308 Street SUTHERLAND PLACE Record details First name MARTIN Last name KNOTT Title Misc Relation Visitor Age 3 Sex M Birth County Middlesex Looks as though he is with John and Jane Cowbury (???sp.) I'll now see if I can find it in the 1871 on Ancestry

absolutely do.....first thing I got, listed father as Thomas with what look like 'dau' written with that looping writing, was discussed here in forum, decided that meant deceased, Gr lol

Do you have William and Frances's marriage cert? That should give you his fathers name. I'd advise you to get it if you've not.

no....no idea....am stuck with his father William.. Have William marrying wife Frances in 1854 Bermondsey Surrey, then in census 1861 and onwards..nothing before then for William who is my BIG dead end

Do you know his grandparents names? May be he was with them?

Aha.....so you see my problem.... I have all census from 1861 to 1901 for Williams family.... So where was martin? he was only little!!

I have a Martin Knott b 1867 Holborn to a William and Frances Knott. I have Martin only on the 1881 (RG11/0250 6/92/5 -with mother and father) and not on the 1871! He was only 4/5yrs old. Can't find him anywhere else.. Can anyone help? Ta Leeanne
