This is the mother of my GG-grandmother Hannah Knight, born in Leicester c. 1803.

Unfortunately Knight is a fairly common name in Leicester. The most likely baptism I've found is a Hannah Knight born on 19/07/1803 and baptised at St. Margaret's Church, Leicester on 25/07/1803, parents Daniel and Ann. Daniel and Ann had several other children baptised at St. Margaret's, the last of whom was baptised in 1820, by which time Daniel had died.

I can't be absolutely certain that this is the correct baptism, and I haven't found a likely candidate for Ann in 1841. I don't think the family were well off (Daniel was a bricklayer in 1815), and I haven't found any sign of a will, so I probably won't be able to get any further with this line.
