Hi Cathy

I am returning to this thread after a long break. I don't seem to have posted a reply to your original enquiry about Elizabeth Ayland nee Knight. Many apologies - don't know how I missed that.

At the time I couldn't have been much help but I have recently found out more about my John Knight. His sister Elizabeth was your ancestor Elizabeth Ayland.

I now believe that their father was Thomas Knight b c 1770 Fretherne. I believe that he was the same Thomas Knight who lost his life in a ferry boat accident in 1809. There is an account of the accident in 'The Ferry Between Newnham and Arlingham' by Margaret Willis

I have recently been in contact with another Ayland descendent, Cheryl. Let me know if you still need any information.

Heather
