Thanks Rose,

This is so strange. I don't know whether they were fragmented after the suicide as the main wage earner had gone. As he was a shoemaker, as were many other Knights perhaps they were taken in somewhere. I tried just Cheshire as a search for births but nothing stood out.

I am wondering if Ann came back to Wales to her family.

I am glad it's not just me being stupid!

I guess I'll have to have a stab at going forward then backwards (if that makes sense).

Thanks again

John B is definitely him as a bit more digging shows his middle name as Bateman (the Maternal line)....

Thank you
