a death John Harper McKnight 1988 Dundee

I have found out some more about J mcKnight, he was apparently born in Auchinleck Ayrshire, father andrew mother sarah milligan both born in ireland Andrew in Newton Ards 1834, taken from 1881 census, still cannot be 100% sure as we do not know of the siblings, does this info mean anything to any one out there
thanks

Hello again

Did you get John's parents names from his marriage certificate? If you think you can definitely link John Harper McKnight to an Andrew from Newtonards this may be of interest.

If you google Newtonards McKnight 1834 the first site is headed McNeightMcKnight and is a Roots web site belonging to Ros Davies Co Down.
It has the following about Andrew McNight/McNeight of Newtownards Son of George McNeight. Married Sarah Milliken 9 Mar 1854 in Bangor . father of George b 3May and bp 6 July 1856 at 1st Newtonards Presbyterian Church ref CR

There are many other McKnights mentioned.

Hope this helps.

I looked up site as suggested, find an interesting entry, only problem is it says they married in bangor, my info says they married in West calder, Scotland. the son george dob ties in, gets stranger by the minute
