1837, Register Entry for the Burial of George Andrew Knighton

  • Birth:

  • 18102 3

  •  

  •  

  • Address: Cornwall

    The register entry for his burial which took place in April 1837 gives his age as 27 and as he was married in Cornwall he was probably born there. However, as record of his baptism cannot be found his ancestry cannot be traced.

  • Occupation:

  •  

  • Accountant1

  •  

  • The only source which gives his occupation is his daughter Fanny's Marriage Register entry. As he died in 1837 some 24 years before she was married the information must have come from her mother Mary Musselwhite who was still alive at the time of her marriage. Considering where they lived it is thought that he is more likely to have been a clerk than an 'Accountant'.

  • Parent:

  • 30 Jul 1834 (age 23-24)

  • Baptism of son Charles George

  • Parent:

  • 1 Nov 1835 (age 24-25)

  • Baptism of son Jesse

  • Burial:

  • 9 Apr 1837 (age 27)

  • Charles the Martyr Churchyard2

  •  

  • Address: Plymouth, Devon

    His wife Mary was almost certainly present and she probably took their three children Charles who was nearly 4, Jesse 18 months and Fanny 4 months.
