Hello

I do not have Albert's documented birth but what I do have, is:

- his baptism (Gloucestershire, England, Baptisms, 1813-1913) at 31 May 1882 at Holy Trinity, Drybrook; where it states his mother, was Selina Parsons, his father as Cornelius Knight. Of course, the Wood's were from Drybrook in 1881 when William was born.
- this ties in with a Cornelius who appears as his father on his wedding (Gloucestershire, England, Marriages and Banns, 1754-1938) to Ethel May Wood in 1927, and
- also at his wedding, also in Drybrook; the witnesses were Ethel's sister, Gladys Drew (nee Wood) and Ernest Knight. This links him conclusively to the Wood and Knight families.

I had seen the US record but did not connect because I did not know of his US travels - and there were a lot of Albert Knight's!

I have noted the Albert who is photographed outide Moll's Bar - certainly of short stature!

Do we know when he returned to UK to marry Ethel; and did they stay here or return to the States?

Only question. In the F-o-D post you say Albert's mother was an Abia Read; how does that fit?

Hope this helps.

Regards

Alan
