I am new to this site but have been researching my family tree on and off since 2006, mainly using the Genes Reunited site and Scots People. I originally started to research my mum's mothers side of the family as my mum had very little information about that side of her family. I have managed to trace that side of the family to Scotland, although I still have a lot of unanswered questions about my grandmother's life. I am currently researching my grandfathers side of the family, he was Arthur Ronald Knight, and the family were originally from the Black Country. His mother and father were both from the Cradley and Stourbridge area, and were Annie Laura Jenkins and Arthur Thomas Knight.

Briefly Annie's parents were Albert Jenkins and Annie Pearson.
Albert's parents were Jenkin Jenkins and Martha Cartwright

Arthur Thomas Knight's parents were Thomas Henry Knight and Louisa Terry
I believe Louisa Terry's parents were a Basil and Elizabeth Terry, and that she may have had a brother Henry and sister Emily.
Thomas Henry Knight was born I believe in the Newhaven area of Sussex, and I am sure he had a brother, as in the 1901 census a Thomas H Knight was living with Louisa and Thomas and was listed as a nephew aged 3.

I have other information regarding siblings etc and other names that are linked through marriage, and I would really like to know who Thomas Henry Knight's (the nephew) parents were.

Would love to hear from anyone who may be able to help.

Regards

Kerry Hunt
