| shortsocks Quote | Reply | | Shorthose/Knighton families, Cotmanhay posted on: 6/2/2008 6:37:53 PM Hi, I wonder if anyone can help out there? My ancestor John Shorthose (b.1791-d.1877) who lived at 4 Church St, Cotmanhay was married to a Catherine Knighton (b.1794 d.1861). They were married 19/7/1824 at Christchurch, Cotmanhay. I am desperately trying to find out more information about this Catherine Knighton and I know that this surname if very common in the area - even next door neighbours in Church St. were Knightons, but I just cannot find any evidence of her birth and who her parents might have been. Any help/advice anyone can give would be much appreciated. Thanks |

replied on: 6/3/2008 9:11:00 AM Have you checked the marriage record to see if Catherine was a spinster or widow when she married? -as she was in her 30s when she married John (if my maths are correct!) A lot of the Ilkeston Knightons seem to have been baptised in the Independant church - maybe that is worth a look -and of course for adult baptisms |

replied on: 6/4/2008 1:06:55 AM Many thanks for your reply. Is there anyway I can check the marriage records on line for 1824 and or the Independent Church? I live in Kent so dont have any opportunity to get up North to do any research in person. Regards |

replied on: 6/4/2008 3:17:37 PM Unfortunately -there is nothing I know of on line - except of course the IGI. -I will put it in my list of "to dos"-but it may take some time -I'm tied up with family births, marriages and parties until the end of the month. |

replied on: 7/27/2008 12:00:21 AM Hi Janet, I have only just found this messsage from you. I would be very interested to chat to you more. By strange coincidence I think you are the same Janet in Australia that I tried to contact very recently, but the email address which I had just bounces back! I was wanting to give you info about Henhurst House which you were asking about some years ago on a message board. I am sure you are the same Janet. Please can you email me? Regards Christina |
