There is no connection as far as I know between the Albert Knight shown in the Ed Moll's Bar picture and the Wood family.

Albert Knight was born as I have quoted previously in 1892 His parents were Cornelius Knight born 1861 and Abia Read born 1868. Married 24 Jul 1889, I have the certificate. Abia Read's parents were William Read 1839 & Selina Marfell 1839, married 1o Aug 1896. I have that certificate and the certificate for the 1896 marriage to her second husband Clarence Oliver Whittington born 1876

The parents of Cornelius Knight 1861 were Benjamin Knight born 1825 Stafford and Rebecca Davis born 1827, married 28 Oct 1849 Parkend.
