Jabez, wife Jane and the two sons seemed to have disappeard after the 1881 census so I thought that might be him with his family on the passengers list.

No other Knights on the passenger list.

Not picking him up on American census. Can you tell us a wee bit more about your Jabez please? Did he have a middle name? Who were his parents please?

Sorry, our posts crossed David. I'll have another look at the American records.

It's not the right Jabez Gritty but thankyou for taking the time to look for me.

That is fantastic Rootgatherer.

I have spent ages trying to find them.

Thank you so much.

I think this is the same family but Jabez seems to be divorced and calling himself James.
