WILLIAM KNIGHT & ANN nee RAND
This page updated 20 July 2010
The KNIGHT/RAND family first appeared as a possible connection to Sarah BRAME (convict) in 2004. This information on the birthplace, parents and marriage place and date of Sarah Brame (nee Knight) came to me as a direct result of someone reading my plea on this website.
The power of the www!
Thanks to Elaine, Julie, David and Tom for your contribution - especially Elaine for contacting me and setting in place a long and finally successful, quest to determine if Sarah Knight was indeed Sarah Brame (convict).
NOTE: The new information was very welcome and was a definite starting point for further research. I eventually managed to contact the people who provided the original new data and when nothing further could be obtained I then followed up with further research.... A few years later following countless hours at the computer, untold quantities of emails, letters and phone calls, many miles of travel, moments of despair (and elation) and restless hours considering possible options, I am finally convinced that we have been able to verify enough details to reasonably prove the connection between our Brame family and the Knight family in Essex/Hertfordshire.

Quite a lot of research has been done on the descendants of some of the children of William Knight and Ann nee Rand.
At this stage I have dealt only with the early details apart from those of Sarah (2nd wife of William Brame), who by her connection as step-mother to his two daughters, is in our direct line.
