Here goes: John Edward Knight born 1939 in Hackney his parents were: Edward Charles Knight, born 1901 ( but not sure) ,perhaps born in West Ham, and Elsie Jane Lutman born abt 1909 West Ham. I would like to know who Edward Charles Knight parents were ? Also Elsie Jane Lutman parents ? Hope you can help, thanks.

G

I suggest you get more information from your friend.

Tell him he has to buy those certificates.

Otherwise, as I said, it is all guesswork, and nothing is certain

............... and he really must know when his father died, or when he last saw him


Plus he should now the names of aunts of uncles ............... all that helps narrow the search down.


We can find a lot of information, but we're not magicians!


You yourself could have found much of the information re dates of birth, marriage etc just by looking at www.freebmd.org.uk ........................ a free site.

You can even search on ancestry without being a member, and could see what information might be there.

So it seems Edward Charles Knight parents were: Charles Eaton Knight and Elizabeth Kate Knight, I think her maiden surname may have been: Beard ? Married 1901 Marylebone. There is also another person with the surname Knight who married a person with the surname Beard, abt 1914, I think.

jax, it seems very much the case. My friends father was a postman at some stage in his life, interesting that Charles Eaton Knight was also a postman. His father was John Knight, and her father was Thomas Beard.
