Hello,
Can't find death of Edward Knight born 1695 Farringdon Hampshire to Richard & Elizabeth Knight. Lived, marrried in Headley Hants, although associated with Rake in Sussex. He died after 1740, but death not on Hants burial register. Does anyone have deaths of Sussex and do a look up for me. Very grateful
Kath

Thanks so much.
Unfortunately the 1748 death in Farringdon was a baby, and the later one in Liss was a cordwainer, not my Edward Knight.
The National archives material refers to the Knight family of Chawton, relatives of Jane Austen, who were Knights in the real sense. Sir Richard Knight etc.
Unfortunately not my family.
I do appreciate the time and effort you have put in for me
