Hello, I saw your "old" message regarding doing look-ups. My great-grandfather was Joseph Jay
Knight, born 1828 in
Surrey (so family stories go.) He came to the USA in 1843 with his father, James
Knight and step-mother Esther (
Mayne)
Knight. My father always said that when Joseph came to
America, he "left two own brothers" in
England. This apparently meant full brothers, not half-brothers. One was Richard
Knight who married Mary
Barnes on May 16, 1841 in St. George's, Camberwell,
Surrey. The 1881 British census shows he was a "managing and practical silversmith" living at "The
Limes Flodden Rd, Camberwell,
Surrey." His brother, Thomas, was apparently in the same professon - don't know if he was in the same business location. If you have time, could you please see if you can find any information about either of these two men? I would really appreciate your help. Thanks. Maxine
