I'm looking for Frederick Knight I've found him on the 1871 census he is in the Royal Military school Chelsea (with his brother Walter) his dob is stated as abt 1861. This clarified by the British library who found his birth details for me, born Rangoon, Bengal, India, 10/04/1861, his father is Henry Knight and mother named as Eliza his name is spelt Frederic on his Indian birth records but with a K when his at Chelsea.
I have found his brother Walter Knight born abt 1862 also India (British library had no birth details for him). I have Walter's M/C which confirms their fathers name is Henry who is occupation is described as a yaughtsman IOW. I have tracked Walter on the 1901 and 1911 census in London Lambeth and found his service record as he was in the 9th Lancers, he names his brother Frederick as his next of kin. Walter married in the IOW to Annie Blake I have tracked all their details.
I cannot find Frederick on any census after 1871 can anyone look to see if I missed him or I should be using a different search method only I'm all searched out.
I cannot find their parents either I expect as children where born in India Henry was military too but cannot find him living on the IOW. I'm doing this for my cousin who lives in Australia she did say that Henry sometimes called himself Edward just to confuse me more.
I would be most grateful for any suggestions!
