Name Variation  Henry Knighton Clifton was also known as Henry Clifton Knighton. 
(Registered) BC-Reg*between 1 October 1881 and 31 December 1881  His birth was registered between 1 October 1881 and 31 December 1881 at R.D. Basford
Ref: 7b, 109 Clifton, Henry Knighton mother: -.1,2 
Birth*between 1 October 1881 and 31 December 1881 Henry Knighton Clifton, son of Henry Knighton and (?) Clifton, was born between 1 October 1881 and 31 December 1881 at Eastwood, NTT
Research*between 1 October 1881 and 31 December 1881 Research: Do not know who Henry's parents were (but we are given the name of a father).

Registered as "Henry Clifton"
in 1891 with grandfather Cooper Clifton, as "Henry C Knighton".
In 1901 with father Cooper Clifton, as simply "Henry Clifton".
His marriage certificate is not clear.
His name was Henry Clifton (illeg) - the "Illeg" probably being Knighton.
His father's name Henry Clifton was crossed-out and replaced with Knighton. Indexed as Clifton.
in 1911 named as Henry Clifton.

There is a Henry Knighton age 18 (bn 1863), born Eastwood, living Beggarlee Breach (with parents family) in 1881.
If his father was indeed Henry Knighton, then his mother must have been a Clifton girl. There are only 2 candidates. Martha is already married (in 1877), and has children in 1880 and 1882. The other - Elizabeth Ann - only 13/14.
Marriage in 1901 states his father to be dead. Can't find 1863 Eastwood Henry Knighton after 1881.

Humm.

If instead his Mother was a Knighton, then the main suspect is William (Walter is only 16), who could have made a Knighton woman pregnant before he married Phoebe Straw in 1881.

In any case, to be a grandson of Cooper Clifton, he must be the son of one of Cooper's children - one of the 4 we know about, or he had an illegitimate child called Henry with a Miss Knighton before his marriage in 1859 (can't find child or baptism)?

Hummm.

So 3 main theories.
1: Son of William Clifton by a Knighton girl.
Theory has it that William (son of Cooper) made a Knighton girl pregnant before he married Phoebe. That's why the child isn't living with his father - it was his responsibility, but his wife didn't want to bring up somebody else's child, so grandparents look after him..

It's a good theory, anyway...

2. Son of youngest daughter of Cooper Clifton - who would have been 13/14 at the time.

3. Cooper Clifton had an illegitimate son Henry Knighton (so far untraced), who was the father.

Take your pick. Birth certificate might shed light.

Bigamy Charge Dismissed

A charge of bigamy against Lily Stenson (49), of 83, Sycamore Crescent, Kimberley, which was preferred at the Nottingham Guildhall yesterday, was dismissed.

Mr. McSkimming (solicitor to the Corporation) who prosecuted, said Stenson was married at Basford Registry Office and the child of the marriage died when only 12 months old. The couple parted after three months of married life. The husband would say he had not seen his wife since 1920.

In July 1937, accused went through a form if marriage at Basford Register Office with a man named Ferdinand Garton.

When cautioned and charged by the police accused said: "That's quite right, but since I married Garton I have heard that Robert Stenson has died."

Garton told the police: "We both knew Bob Stenson was alive but we thought the marriage was void after 19 years' separation"

When Robert Stenson, the husband, went into the witness box he said: "I do not want to say anything."

Mr. McSkimming said in those circumstances he would have to withdraw the case.

Mr. Frank Clayton, for defendant asked for a formal discharge,

Was this "Mary Ann" the same child as Lucie Annie? has to be, I would have thought ... same parents ... DC would show Lucie Annie, so why does burial show Mary Ann?

Buried with 1 other
Sisson, Lily (16 Oct 1904) 9mths dau of John Sisson, Princes Street

(who could be her cousin)

So maybe not buried in common chidrens grave- note that Lucy/Mary Ann sister by 1910 Hilda marries a John Sisson.5
