I'm not sure, I looked up how many were born with the Christian name Invicta from 1886 - 1923 there were 14. Could be a name from a Battle?

Hello Martin, I looked in ancestry.co.uk to see if they had anything about Richard Charles Knight who died in 1923 at Cawnpore, but no luck. Then I clicked on Google and found another Richard Charles Knight of Margate, born 5th Feb.1922 who was sent to Stanhope Industrial School, Ashford Kent in 1929. If he is related, and if you have not read his Journal, try reading RICHARD'S STORY on www.missing-ancestors.com It is a fascinating description of his life at Stanhope from 1929-1936. Best wishes, Anne T. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Martin Bishop" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, October 19, 2009 9:53 PM Subject: [Isle-of-Thanet] Richard Charles Knight (1883-1923) Hello listers I am trying to put some flesh on the bare bones of the history of Richard Charles KNIGHT of Margate (known as Charlie) who would have been my great uncle. My father Charles Henry BISHOP says that he was named after his uncle Charlie but he had a different story of Charlie's death and would also like to know about him. Charlie was the son of Joseph George KNIGHT (born 1857 in Margate) and Eliza GODDEN (born 1855). I have a copy of a postcard from his sister Mary (my grandmother born 1892, who sadly died only a year later than Charlie) written to another sister Harriet SCOTT telling her of Charlie's death in Cawnpore, India on 12 June 1923 (the cause was not stated). Charlie also had a brother Joseph George KNIGHT (born 1882 in Margate) who was married to Mary Ann GARLINGE (born 1985 in Sturry, Kent). Where would I found out about Charlie's turning up in India and perhaps more details of his career (possibly Army or Police)? Any leads would be appreciated as I am stuck on this.

The marriage states that she was of the parish and he was from Sandwich. Jo Morris has kindly searched for a baptism for Mary in the registers of St Lawrence, St Peter, Minster, Monkton and St John with no luck. I have been told that there are ANTHONYs in the Thanet area but I just can't find my Mary. Does anyone have any advice for me on possibilities of parishes the ANTHONY family might have been located?

His widow in later life accepted at least 3 girls into her service from the Minster Workhouse, to her house at Frensham in Surrey. Quite a journey. It may be a long shot, but I would like to establish a link if possible. Thank you for any help. Pete Martin.

I'm hoping to get to Westgate this week to take a few picture of houses for one of our listers and wonder if there are any required by other listers who cannot get to the area. Just send a list, not too large!!! Suzannah

That is a lovely story to read. You must be really pleased with the result. Poor man, it is heartening that his army colleagues acknowledged his effort.

Many thanks. I cannot see HMG changing the rules after all this time as it would 'open the floodgates'. Your article has prompted me to try and find out where he is buried. Sadly, after his death, his widow remarried and contact was lost with that branch of the family until recently. You may recall rapping my knuckles for an 'illegal' post on the IOT site which brought forth a result.
