The Children of Henry Knight Gregson and Eliza Mary Donaldson Selby

I thought that I would post the information I have for the children of Henry and Eliza Mary KG. If you have different data, we can compare citations.
I have 17 children, 10 males and 7 females. Four died before they reached their teen years (stained glass windows in St. John the Baptist, Lowick memorialize these children). Of the 7 women 4 were unmarried. Of the 10 men 1 (Henry Knight Gregson, Jr.) was unmarried.



♂ Alfred KNIGHT GREGSON (1845-1885) m. 1877 Harriette Lomax
♂ Clarence Knight Gregson (1846-1849) died at age 3
♂ Henry Knight Gregson (1847-1921) unmarried
♂ Charles Edward Knight Gregson (1848-1913) m. 1875 Mary Jane Law
♀ Mary Jane Frederica Knight Gregson (1850-1911) unmarried
♂ George Charles K Gregson (1851-1928) m. 1880 Charlotte L. Hughes
♂ Frederick Knight Gregson (1853-1910) m. Sarah Ann Poulter
♂ Arthur Knight Gregson (1854-1935) m. Louisa J. ?
♀ Sarah Knight Gregson (1855-1856) d. at age 1
♀ Eliza M S Knight Gregson (1857-1857) d. age 3 mo.

♀ Alice S Knight Gregson (1859-1863) d. age 4
♀ Katharine Grey Knight Gregson (1861-1936) unmarried
♀ Frances Norris Knight Gregson (1862-1946) unmarried
♂ Francis Sitwell K Gregson (1865-1926) m. 1895 Eleanor Mary Hoyle
♂ Harold S K Gregson (1867-1938) m. 1894 Miriam Jessie Clarke
♀ Constance Knight Gregson (1870-1964) unmarried unmarried

I agree that Henry had 17 children, ten male and seven female

My differences are as below:

Frederick K G I have a baptism date of 21 November 1852 (IGI) not 1853
Rev Francis Sitwell KG I have a marriage date of 1 October 1895 (Ancestry) not 1896
Harold Strangeways KG marriage 6 October 1895 - Ancestry states church was St George, Hannover Square - My Mss Pedigree for Knight family shows a pasted newspaper cutting for the marriage at St Margaret's, Westminster???

Constance K G - I have a birth date of Apl-Jun 1869 and death Jan 1904. This child is listed in different places as Constance, Constantina and Constantia. I have her as Constantia on her birth data. On the 1881 census she is named as Constantina at West End Park School, Pannal, Yorks. On 1891 census she is named as Constance at the St Hilda's finishing school, Cheltenham, Gloucester (source Mike Bramley a Gregson descendant)

Her mother, Eliza's maternal great grandmother was named Constantia Charlton - therefore I call her Constantia.

MARITAL STATUS

1901 Census

Henry is listed as a retired naval officer, aged 53. His status is said to be 'married'. On the night of the census he is listed as a visitor at the Clifton Restaurant (and presumably Hotel) at Llandudno. There is no mention of his wife being there.

Ancestry lists a Henry Knight Gregson born Glendale in 1847 reg 25 246 and marriage in June 1903 at Fulham to a Jennie Gertrude Griffiths. Did he marry twice? On 1901 census he is said to be married!!!

He died in Chelsea London aged 75 (Ancestry)

Notes:
Birth date citations: England Births and Christenings, 1538-1975 on Familysearch.org
Death date citations: England & Wales, National Probate Calendar (Index of Wills and Administrations), 1858-1966. Once source for this is Ancestry.com.
Henry Knight Gregson jr b. 1847 was married, although the details are a bit sketchy. The following citations are from the England/Wales census; At age 44 (1891) he is listed as single stationed as Lieutenant in the Royal Navy serving on Her Majesty's ship Asia. In 1901 Henry is listed as married and a visitor at Llandudno, Caernarvonshire, Wales. However, his wife is not at this residence.
Val Edwards added the comment in her reply on this thread that Constantia’s mother, Eliza's maternal great grandmother was named Constantia Charlton.
