	No sign of Keith then??? Strangely enough I was going to add that this morning - it hadnt occurred to me when I was looking these up - my husband told me he had to go and survey a property at Knyvett Green, Ashwellthorpe, a few miles from Wicklewood.

	Thanks everyone, Heather, Sylvia,Jen I did not notice i had put 1870 it should be 1770 for Thomas's birth i have Walter's birth cert. he is Charles Knivetts son and i have Charles marriage cert. to Jane Laskey. I have the 1841 census return with Charles age 22 and Thomas age72 the difficulty is the next line back. Thanks for all your lookups.
