May I ask if you think these details relate to the same person?
I have Martha Davis Knight. birth cert states born 17 Dec 1858 Wilsford, Wiltshire, father John Knight, mother Mary Knight formerly Davis.
No problem with birth, I know she belongs to my Knight family from Wilsford.
But a contact has said that she married into his Wilsher family and I'm not 100% sure.
marriage cert states:
31 July 1880
groom, Albert Edward Wilsher age 21 bachelor
bride: Martha Jane Knight age 21 spinster, father John knight
one of the witness was an Emma knight
My Martha Davis Knight had a sister Emma, so could have been the witness.
After her marriage Martha appears on the census as Martha J Wilsher, born c1860 or 1861, Wilsford.
So do you think both Martha's are the same person an she changed her middle name?
Thanks
