Charles Lane Knight (1864-1945)

Charles Lane Knight was born 17th February 1864 in Bara-head, St. Germans, Cornwall, and died in 1945 in Plymouth (age 81). He married Laura Annie Trimble 12th April 1888 in Register Office, Stoke, Devon, daughter of William Trimble and Jemima May. She was born during 1867 in Tideford St Germans, Cornwall, and died in 1935 in Plymouth.

Charles was at Mandlin Gate, Menhenoit, Cornwall with aunt and uncle in 1871. His father had died and left his mother with a young family. She had to work to support them so the children were 'farmed out', Charles to an aunt and uncle. By 1881 he was at 38 Fore Street, St Germans, Cornwall and was a  Farm Labourer. He was in the Royal Navy in 1881 and must have been at sea in 1901 as his wife is listed as married but he is nowhere to bee found in the census. In August 1888 he was a Stoker on board HMS Curlew.

Laura was at Hestlyn Bridge, St Germans, Cornwall and then at Tideford Village, St Germans, Cornwall in 1871 and 1881 respectively. In 1891 she was at Culmeer, St Germans, Cornwall (With Parents).

Children of CHARLES KNIGHT and LAURA TRIMBLE are:

Alfred James Knight, born 4th August 1888 at Culmeer, St Germans, Cornwall
