Can any body help please I have managed to trace some of my Grand fathers ancestors but have not been able to find out too much about John Knights. I believe the dates are correct and that his wife was a Sarah Cushion (Cusheon) born about1766.They would have lived around Beccles or Bungay in Suffolk.
Regards
Rosie
