Looks like Mr James Knowles left his wife and family. found someone else and then left her. And lied about his age...Must of been a mid life crisis..lol Thanks for your help He is best left alone now.
Wish I knew which sister was William Knowles mother..Maybe we shall never know. Thanks again for your help. m

As Melsham covers Trowbride, it's odd on favourite that this is grandson William's birth.
The cert would confirm the mother.

Births Mar 1877

KNOWLES William James - Melsham 5a 130

These are details relating to the above birth reg.


The district Melsham has been linked by FreeBMD to Melksham although it is not strictly an alternative name for this district.
Melksham is in the county of Wiltshire;
