Whilst glancing at my blog today I noticed that the Knight family in Dorset is attracting some attention. I did eventually put together some of the OPC records for Spetisbury and the Knight family there and it does appear that My Ellis Knight and Eleanor Knight were cousins as my grandfather had mentioned. They were not, however, first cousins. I have extracted from legacy the narrative descendant description for Henry Knight at Spetisbury as follows (the information on Ellis Knight and Eleanor Knight is duplicated because they share the same great great grandparents Henry Knight and Mary Oliver). Having posted this I now realize that the records prior to 1813 are now up on Ancestry and decided to spend a bit of time looking at that although do not really have any spare time but I will make changes in the following:
Descendants of Henry Knight

Henry married Mary Oliver [16860] [MRIN: 5858] on 25 Dec 1727 in Spetisbury, Dorset, England.
