Find Ancestors

I need to pop off for a while too so will check back a bit later.

I have just noticed the son John who was aged 7 months on the 1881 census, is not with the family in 1885. He must have passed away.

Plus it states that Jane/James (It does say female?) has 3 children living.

Looks like it David but I'm not finding deaths for any of them.

Ah, so Jabez must have died between 1900 and 1910.

Maybe for 1910?

Ok no worries, I am delighted with the information you found.

I will check back on here later to see if anything else has popped up.

Dave. :-)

Sorry, I'm just not finding anything else on them to follow it up David.

Hopefully some of the helpers more experienced in American records might.

2 more children then....Joseph and Charlie. (Charles)

I am really pleased to know where they ended up.

Thanks again Rootgatherer, very much appreciated.

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

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

Parents Thomas Knight and Mary Anne Hancock.

He married Jane Prin in 1875.

As you can see from the 1881 census, they had 2 sons Thomas and John.

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

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?

This is the family I am looking for

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.

Rootgatherer that last one you posted looks like it may be what I am looking for.

Is it possible to tell me if he is travelling with any family members?
