Hello Ronald

My Grandfather is Herbert Edward Knight born in Sept 1901. I think he was born in or around London, Walthamstow, I believe.
He married Rose Edith Gwendoline Keats.
I don't know when they married, but they had 8 children.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Lenise

Your ancestor didn't used to come home drunk with a toilet seat around his neck playing an old fashioned squeeze box (concertina) did he? Or is this just family folklore!!

Any info about the pub would be useful (my grandmother is related to a Knight family, and my brother has the aforementioned squeeze box.) Because of this story it was years before we could persuade my grandmother to go to a pub to eat!!

Frances Kate Knight m. Frank Bowers
Children Francis (Frank) Bowers and Lilian Rose Bowers.

Any help greatly appreciated my grandmother died in 1989 and only the stories remain now.
