From: russel knight <[email protected]> Subject: [WAR] William Knight Date: Sat, 24 Jul 2010 23:16:49 +1200 Hello is there anyone in the position to look up parish register for the death of a William Knight who died in 1853 in March at Coleshill, Warwickshire. I need to know if his wife was called Rebbeca? This man was married in 1851 to a Rebecca Knight but he disappeared by 1861 and Rebecca had remarried. I'm wondering if he died . Thanks from New Zealand. Rgards Russel Knight I guess my only chance is to get the certificate with my fingers crossed. If William Knight had run away and left Rebecca Knight she could have remarried? Russel, She could not have legally remarried unless the 1853 William Knight died. For all practical purposes there was no devoice in England until the reforms of the early 20th Century. If Rebecca married a William Knight in 1851, then married a William Knight in 1861 there were two William Knights and the first William had died. Bill.
