Have you tried FreeBMD to find their births? Mother's maiden name is Mabey.

Maureen,

You sent me a message about finding the births for Kenneth and Jean.

You can see them for yourself on FreeBMD.

http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/cgi/search.pl

Select Births, put Knight in for the Surname and Mabey for Spouse/Mother surname.

Maureen,

Please can you add your responses here. You keep clicking on my name and sending me private messages.

Not sure how you can track down the correct marriage as there are several.
