A tree on Ancestry has this and no marriage given for him.


Charles Grant Knight
Birth 08 Jun 1912 in South Dakota, USA
Death 01 Aug 1960 in Los Angeles County, California, USA


Same tree says his father died before 1930 but no date of death.

I know this might be asking too much, but can any further information be found regarding Charles Grant Knight born 1912 South Dakota.

I would be very interested to know if he married and had children?

I think his father Charles Knight married Nellie Eunice Grant?

David Report 14 Oct 2014 20:00

I find it absolutely amazing and fascinating that my little Jane Prin (Born 1857 in the mining town of Menheniot, Cornwall) and her family, had such an interesting life.

You have taken me on a wonderful journey Rootgatherer.

That looks good for the birth of Jabez. I wonder if he's lurking somewhere using his middle name Thomas?

Can't find deaths for any of this family. Can't even find Thomas and Edith on any later census.

David

David Report 14 Oct 2014 19:13

I have just entered the details for Verna Paula Knight on Ancestry and a member (robertebruner) has this family in his tree.

Some of the information you have given me ties in with his tree.

Although he has gone down the wrong path regarding Jabez.

Again, I just want to say thank you and say how much I appreciate your time.

Hi again Rootgatherer

The information you posted for Jabez is interesting.

If his birth date was 17th Dec 1852, it probably wouldn't have been registered until early 1853

David, looked again at the image of the 1900 census. It definitely says Jane, female and d for divorced ( the Ws on the same page look different). It says she has had 8 children and 3 still living.

So, if they divorced, we don't know when Jabez died.......but he is showing up on the American census.
