Birth	25 Aug 1839	Dorking, Surrey, England, Great Britain
Baptism	13 Oct 1839	Dorking, Surrey, England, Great Britain
Emigration (fam)-shared	26 Oct 1843	(George KNIGHT and Rebecca DEARLING) on the 'Neptune' (Cpt Ferris) & arrived in Sydney 11 Feb 1844 with George's children from his 1st marriage: Joseph (16), Sarah (12), Kate (9) & George (4) plus Eliza Gregory (5) and William Gregory (3) from Rebecca's 1st marriage
Marriage	29 Jun 1861	Ulladulla, New South Wales, Australia - Mary Simpson ALCORN
Note	1871	In the winter of 1871 George left his house at Forest Lodge near Berry where he was sharefarming (dairy) with a man named Hodgkinson. He visited his father's house in Sherbrooke, left his horse & saddle, said to have gone on to Sydney, and was never seen again. He apparently took with him the money which was due to the owner of the farm including Hodgkinson's share. According to his father's will written 15 Mar 1881 in which he is mentioned, he was most likely still alive at this time and in touch with the family. However when the family farm at Sherbrooke was resumed by the water authority in 1904 he was not mentioned in legal correspondence so we assume he was dead by this time
Note	1872	After George left Mary was left destitute and she surrended the 2 eldest boys Wesley & Samuel to the Randwick asylum for Destitute Children
Death	From 1881 to 1904
