George Knight & Sarah Pritchard are in my Family Tree. Although I have 141 Knight's in my Family Tree, George Knight's father William is not related to me, but his mother Sophia Meek is my 6 times Great Aunt.

As usual I have benefitted fromother people's postings by picking up information from Slowhands.

I can however add 2 baptism's William 27 Sep 1835, Independant Chapel, Ruardean & Thomas 7 November 1841 Ruardean Church.

I hadn't realised that Sarah Pritchard's mother was Elizabeth Bennett. I picked up Slowhands baptism and searched for the marriage :

I would like to establish details of Elizabeth Bennett as I have 217 Bennetts in my Family Tree, and it is interesting that George Knights mother Sophia Meek had a brother Thomas 1758 who married Mary Bennett 1758, daughter of Thomas Bennett & Lucy Hale.

George Knight 1802 is one of the Fourteen children of William Knight and Sophia Meek, born between 1780 & 1812, however 10 of them were dead by 1808. I have baptisms for all, and there are a number of duplicates - including 2 Sophia, 2 Richard, 2 Absalom & 4 Williams. I haven't got all the burial details though.
