    Father Stephen KNOWLING,   b. Est 1580,   d. Between 1632 and 1638  (Age ~ 52 years) 
    Married
    • Children from this marriage:
      I have gone thro St Saviour's PR for baptisms Oct 1604 - Jan 1616-7, only extra found (over using FMP search) was son Stephen.
      Still to find: Sarah and Mary - and possibly others
      Maybe born elsewhere before Stephen and his wife moved to Dartmouth St Saviours? Could simply be another Dartmouth parish; St Clement's and St Petrox' PRs don't survive from this time.
