hello all i have details of my great great grandmother a susan knight (born 1877 roughly ) in 1900 she married my great great grandfather arthur walden born 1872. however on my grandmothers birth cert it has susan as being oliver, so on a bit of digging i have found she was married before to an oliver. however i do not have record of her marriage. i have also been given information that she had a set of twins, perhaps two sets and again having trouble finding record of this. the twins would of been born oliver. susan was disinherited from the family will because she divorced oliver to marry my great great grandfather, with whom she went on to have 3 more children. i would really appriciate some help with this. most of the family all seem to be based in the london area.

So what is the name of Susan knight's father? Am I right that Susan Knight, married 1st hubby surname Oliver and 2nd hubby surname Walden? And have you got a great too many? Have you found them on any census - 1881 is free to search on the LDS site. There are 3 possibles for susan within a couple of years of your timescale - without a father's name or more accurate pob it won't be easy. The marriage to Arthur WALDEN was ond 1900 Camberwell 1d 1655 Is this them on 1901 (cos if so your year of birth is well out)? RG13; Piece: 364; Folio: 126; Page: 11. Arthur Walden abt 1874 Camberwell Head Southwark St George the Martyr London Susan Walden abt 1872 Deptford Wife Southwark St George the Martyr

Possible birth of Susan Knight - Greenwich includes Deptford Births Sep 1869 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- KNIGHT Susan Greenwich 1d 721 Jim If she married in 1889, then this would be about the right date of birth. 1877 very unlikely - means married at age 12.
