Hi Had Frances been married before and Cash was her name from her first marriage and Spriggs was her maiden name. Lin

Could Frances have been married before? Maiden name Spriggs, first married name Cash, so married William as Cash, and just didn't give her former married name on the birth certificate of Frank. Sorry don't know the London area. Kath. x

Looking at their Marriage cert in 1854 states William knott married a Frances Cash by banns in Bermondsey Surrey, says they were bachelor and spinster, he was a mariner father Thomas , following that family you get me.. so it is def Frances Suggestions please?

Perhaps you have the wrong birth certificate or wrong marriage certificate. There could be another William Knott married to a Frances Spriggs. Kath. x

Franks birth and baptism is on IGI he was baptised 05.06.1858. Check that the church he was baptised in is the same church his parents married. Irene

Hi Irene again, lol I have his birth cert and those same igi details, but how would I find out where he was baptised??? Just says St Pancras..

Irene

Irene Report 24 Oct 2006 11:02

I think it states Old Church and you will see that church if you click on S for St.Pancras in the London List. Irene
