This family are driving me berserk and I'm gonna be joining them at this rate!! Pls help! I have Catherine Fielding (as confirmed by son's birth cert) and Robert Knowles (confirmed by same son's wedding cert). Both were born c1840-1842, depending on which census you look at! He comes from either Skerton or Accrington in Lancashire and she comes from either Woolwich, Malta or Gibraltar (British Subject). First child was born 1860 in Blackburn, Lancashire and in 1861 they were living in Worsley, Lancashire. Can anyone find a marriage for them? All help greatly appreciated. |
