    1. [Isle-of-Thanet] Richard Charles Knight (1883-1923)
    2. Martin Bishop
    3. 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. Best regards   Martin Bishop
