Member Since: February 2018 Posts: 36 Send Message	Malyon I didn't know they had children born in Walsall. They must have moved there for work perhaps. That is where Mary Ann married. Archives yes this looks like them. Would this be their marriage? Wendy

Member Since: February 2018 Posts: 36 Send Message	Oh dear why is the rest of the family living in Walsall and she's in the workhouse. How horrible that must have been for her. Wonder why he kept Caroline and let Mary Ann go in the workhouse. It states she was a servant would it be there.

	She would have gone out to work up to 4 years previously, and probably couldn't, or didn't want to, go back home for some reason. She could have lost her job, or walked out. That happened ................ children went out to work at age 10 or 11, and were considered adults at that time.

Member Since: February 2018 Posts: 36 Send Message	Sylvain Canada Just looking on family search and there is a Thomas born 1785 parents Thomas and Ann and one born 1773 parents Thomas and Lydia. I think 1785 is cutting it a bit fine for Charles birth in 1802. I will also check out your link. Thank you Wendy
Member Since: April 2004 Posts: 46,062 Send Message	SylviaInCanada	Report	4 Aug 2018 22:35
	Wendy ............... why cutting it a bit fine????????? Women did have children over a long period of time OH's x time gt grandfather married in 1832, had their first child 5 months later and the last of 20 children was born in 1860. Yes, his wife was pregnant almost constantly for 28 years, with about 18 months the longest between births. She died about 7 years later, as did her husband!!! 1773 to 1802 is "only" 29 years, and therefore possible. 1785 to 1802 is even more possible Just don't rule anything out!

Member Since: February 2018 Posts: 36 Send Message	Have checked in freereg and there is an Edward Knight born 1797 to Thomas and Ann so we are back to perhaps Thomas being born in 1773 but didn't marry Ann Sansom. Wendy

Member Since: February 2018 Posts: 36 Send Message	It was the 1785 i thought was a bit close now I've found edward born 1797 i don't think it's him. Will expand my dates are if I can find anymore after Charles Wendy

Member Since: February 2018 Posts: 36 Send Message	Hi I've found Joseph born 1780 John born 1783 Edward born 1797 Charles born 1802 All with parents Thomas and Mary Knight So 1779 marriage could be correct but Thomas must have been born earlier than I thought. Getting a little confused now
