Member Since: June 2003 Posts: 58 Send Message	I'm looking for 2 brothers & 2 sisters of my Grandfathe, .Walter Knight.. Their parents were Henry Knights & Matilda Ashman and they were all born in Ipswich & shown on the 1881 census They are: Thomas Knight (or Knights) B. 1860 Frederick Knight B. 1869 Laura Knight . 1872 (christened ) Mary Knight B 1873 I also have another sister Matilda, but she is not shown on the 1881 census so may have died in infancy. I'm trying to find if any of them married & had children. Including my Grandfather there were at least 3 other childen which I've found, all 3 moved to London from Ipswich. So some of the above 4 may also be in London if anyone has access to the 1901 census If anyone can help it will be much appreciated. Many Thanks

Member Since: June 2003 Posts: 58 Send Message	Thanks for taking the trouble to look for me, Nell.. Lewella, That's brilliant, thanks so much. I did not know until a year or so ago that Walter, my grandfather, had any brothers& sisters. I've found the 'offspring' of Kate & Harry (another brother & sister) and I'm now trying to find the others to see if I've any more 2nd cousins. I know where Walter was from 1901, he was married by then and my Dad had been born. I didn't have the 1891 info on him though, he moved to London earlier than I thought. I wonder if Fredk'. got married at least it seems he stayed in Suffolk. I assume there was no sign of Thomas or Matilda or Laura or Mary? I really appreciate your help, thanks again PS. Looking at the details again, I did not have a Harriet, she was born before the others and then it looks as if there was a 7 year gap. I wonder why that was?!! Regards Zillah
