Unless, of course, someone knows different.

or perhaps money was tight

Is there some explanation as to why families would baptise only some of their children? Only 3 of James and Ann Knight's children were baptised, or so it would seem. I have found this with George Morgan, too. Of course, it could be that I am not searching hard enough!

The Ancestry website is playing up, this evening, so I am struggling. Please forgive me if I do not reply to you messages.

His wife, Edith Morgan, is Edith Annie. I can't find a record of the marriage in the Parish Records but there is a FreeBMD for a possible marriage.

Knight Edith Annie Monmouth 11a 74
Morgan George Monmouth 11a 74

However, all of the children are born before 1891 and Edith is only 19 in the 1891 census so there must have been a previous wife. I have found the baptism records for William, Albert and Harriet and their mother is Rosa. I can't find the baptism PR for Edith 1884.

There isn't a PR for a marriage between George and Rosa but I found a FreeBMD record for a marriage.

This appears to tie in but do I have the correct Rosa Anna/Rosanna/Rosa?

In the 1901 census there are more children.

There do not appear to be any baptism records for Norah 1893 or Wilsie 1896. I believe there are even more children but am not able to access the 1911 census on Ancestry.

George Morgan was killed in an accident at the Arthur & Edward Colliery in 1916 and I have found the Inquest record.

I would be grateful for any information regarding the two marriages.
