Absolom KNIGHT (General)

Hi mxb and welcome back.

Searching this forum for "absolom knight" gives the following old threads which mention him, hopefully they will contain what you're looking for (you don't indicate his whereabouts, likely age, etc).

I'm afraid I cannot spend more time now, but hope to be back on line later-on tonight, or tomorrow Wednesday, when I'll try and find that elusive 1861 census.

Re Familysearch, I cannot explain your specific problem, but can say I've found similar issues myself where apparently clear census info cannot be found as easily as I'd expected. In my case I then searched for another name in the same household in the same census year, perhaps this will work for you ?. I'm a big fan of the Familysearch site, despite my initial reservations when I first started my researches abt 7 years ago, when all the text books suggested that site was "full" of transcription errors, perhaps that's the problem here ?.
