Hi Jane Thank you, Im afraid the family name is Green!
Its Frederick Green b 1885 he is aparantly born in bishops stortfrd in hertfordshire, his wife is called Anne Eliza Green ( havent got a maiden name) b 1886 I think they married in 1903, In 1911 they were living in Tudeley, Kent I would like to try and find him in the 1901 hopefully with his parents!

I've had a quick look at the 1891 and 1901 census but haven't found a Frederick born in Bishops Stortford although there are several born in Hertfordshire about that time.
I've found a possible marriage.
1902 Q4 Tunbridge
There is a Frederick Green and one of the possible wives is Anne Eliza Hatch.

I think that I'm bashing my head on a brick wall without certs as there are just too many Greens! That marage sounds right as on the 1911 it just says they have been married 8 years their first son was born in 1903.
The other one I have been searching for is William knight b1835 tonbridge, he married a Sarah and in 1881 was kiving with 2 children in tonbridge, I would like to find him with his parents, its a shame I dont have middle names!
Thank you so much for helping please say if you have had enough x

Good morning Kelly.
This is the most likely William's family in 1841.
William Knight 40
Ann Knight 35
Mary Knight 8
William Knight 5
Edward Knight 8 Mo
There's also this one but age is a little out.
Thomas Knight 25
Mary Knight 25
William Knight 4
Mary Knight 2
Albert Knight 1 Mo
However, there are a few other Williams around the right age living in Kent and the 1841 census doesn't give place of birth so yet again I think you'll need William & Sarah's marriage certificate to find out William's father.

This is the most likely William in 1851 going by his age on the 1871 and 1891 but the age is still out by a couple of years.
Henry Knight 45
Elizabeth Knight 42
Francis Knight 15
Emily Knight 13
James Knight 10
Elisabeth Knight 5
William Knight 8
Charles Knight 1
Here's the family in 1861
Henry Knight 56
Ellen Knight 27
William Knight 18
Charles Knight 11
This William in 1861 could throw a spanner in the works as well. He is living with his grandmother but the age fits better.
Mary Knight 69
Harriet Knight 31
William O Knight 16
Richard Floyd 67
This one was living is Tonbridge but born in Pembury. The other family were living in Tunbridge Wells.
I really do think there are too many Williams to work out the correct one.

Jane, that William O one is interesting as he went on to name his son Oliver William and I can't seem to find it now but on one of my notes I have his middle name as Oliver! Shame he is with kis Grandmother as we have lost a generation! I also have another branch of the family who lived in Tonbridge but all their births are listed as Pemburyn not sure if it was too early for hospital births but pembury maternity hospital was where all my children and myself were born.
Who is Harriet, And is Richard just a lodger? x
