Horace Hector Charles Knight (1903-1956)

Horace Hector Charles Knight was born 22nd March 1903 in 26 Camperdown Street, Morice Town, Devonport, Devon, England and died on the 7th August 1956. He married Violet Elizabeth H Woodward in 1928 in Devonport, Devon. She was born 18th February 1904 in Devonport, Devon and died on the 12th March 1983 in Plymouth Devonshire.

In 1911, Horace was with his parents at 26 Hamilton Street, Devonport. When he married his residence was 9 Pym Street, Devonport and he was a mechanic.

On the 9th August 1935, Horace's residence was given as 26 Hamilton Street, Keyham, Plymouth when he registered his mother's death.

There is an immigration record for Horace and Violet returning to the UK on 13th October 1950, arriving at Southampton, England, from Durban, South Africa on 'Stirling Castle' His occupation listed as a Government official. He was returning to 52 Vanguard Terrace, Plymouth, which was the residence of his sister Mabel, thus confirming that this is the correct person.

From the death certificates of both Horace and Violet, it would appear they had no children. Horace actually died in the surgery waiting room of Ridgeway, Plymouth. His brother-in-law registered the death. He was Wilfred S Croft and was married to Violet's sister Winnifred. Violet died at Kingston Lodge, Seymour Road, Mannanead, Plymouth and John Douglas McNichols registered the death. he was the occupier of that address.

 

So far I have not been able to establish whether or not Horace and Violet had any children.
