Jeanette thats her alright I guessed she had died young thanks a lot , and Helen I am having trouble finding her birth too dont know why I might go on to 1837 and have a quick look thanks again

thank you very much that does look like it could be her and I think I have found her brother in Islington I only have to find Mary Ann now shouldnt be too difficult thanks for all your help

there is this Name: KNIGHT, Mary Ann S Record Type: Deaths Age at death: 4 Quarter: March Year: 1882 District: Shoreditch County: London Middlesex Volume: 1c Page: 59 (click to see others on page but not about the S

Can't find a birth for Mary Ann Knight in Hackney c. 1878 and the only death, in 1882 is for a Mary Ann aged 49. This is on ancestry civil reg. nell

A possible: Knight, Rebecca Ann Record Type: Births Quarter: December Year: 1874 District: Hackney County: Greater London London Middlesex Volume: 1b Page: 467 Hackney includes Stoke Newington. If she was born towards the end of 1874 she would appear as 6 on 1881 census, though she would be in her 7th year. nell

Jean I am now banging my head on the Table, this is going to be a pain thanks for that I think ?????

Valerie, Sorry to confuse things further but Hoxton is in Shoreditch which comes under Hackney. Jean x.

thanks for that Kate I know what you mean about waiting for sites to do their thing very frustrating sometimes

Helen their names are Mary Ann Knight B C 1878 Newington and Rebecca Knight B C 1875 Newington I have them on the 1881 census but Mary Ann is missing from the 1891 census so I think she must have died

Newington Green Road would never have been in Newington in the first place, hence the confusion! Looks like Hackney or Islington on the A to Z. Kate.

No, Newington is not the same as Stoke Newington. Stoke Newington is north of the river, up near Hackney, but Newington is south of the river, just south of Southwark! But yes, it did change; according to FreeBMD's district info: Newington Created 1st July 1837. Abolished 1st January 1870 (incorporated into St. Saviour Southwark district). In Surrey. Sub-districts : St. Mary; Trinity; Walworth. GRO volumes : IV (1837-51); 1d (1852-69). Newington St. Mary. Registers now in Southwark district. So you are looking for St. Saviour Southwark as the district. Sorry - spent so long waiting for FreeBMD that loads of messages have appeared while I was getting this one together! Kate.

Jean its the Parish Church of St John The Baptist Hoxton Middlesex

Valerie Perhaps if you gave name details we could help. Have you got them on the 1881 census - do you have father's names from census or marriage certs? nell

oh Helen did you have to tell me that?? I think I will leave it for tonight , as it will cost a fortune if I get it wrong , will be nice and fresh tomorrow thanks for all info much appreciated

There's also a Newington south of the Thames which would have been under Surrey in 1875. nell

now I am in a quandary Jean as there are also some with the same birth years in Islington too, oh dear such a common name

thanks again I did find a couple that looked right in Hackney will have another look at them

Newington Green Road is on the borders of Islington and Hackney. What Church is it? Jean x.
