Hi Therese I don't know about others but I am a tad confused by your post perhaps its just the way I read it? I can find no Elizabeth KNIBBS in Binfield in 1861, the nearest I can find is an Elizabeth WHEELER aged 86 born Watin Warwickshire (or so it is transcribed) She is living with her son? and his wife Isaac and Elizabeth WHEELER (in 1851 the older Eliz' is the grandmother to the same couple) Or did you mean the 1801 for that as well ? Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) Hi! This seems like the sort of question the experts here might be able to throw some light on. My 4x great grandmother Elizabeth KNIBB c1775-6, of "Watin" Warwickshire according to the 1861 census (Leek Wooton, possibly?), is listed in the 1801 census for Binfield, Berkshire as one servant amongst many in the household of "Elliot O E Esq (High Sheriff) & Margaret van Cortland". The property in question is "household 60", apparently Binfield Park House, Binfield, Berkshire. (I have a .jpg copy of the 1801 census map of Binfield which I can send to anyone who's interested - even though according to the recently published pamphlet on the Binfield 1801 census, the map has "gone missing" and is hence not included!) She is in fact Margaret-Hughes Van Cortlandt (daughter of Col. Philip Van Cortlandt, loyalist soldier in the American revolution, born in New York in 1734). He is O Elliott Elliott Esq. of Binfield Park Berks and Portland Place. Whatever "High Sheriff" refers to, he wasn't High Sheriff of Berkshire according to a list I found on Wiki. Does anyone know whether there are any records for Binfield Park House and the Elliott/Van Cortlandt household which might refer to their servants and where they came from in the late 1700s/early 1800s? There clearly are some records of the Elliott/Van Cortlandt household in Binfield judging by the Berkshire Record Office's the online catalogue, but it's not obvious whether they would be of any use or not. Presumably they would have any useful records if there are any. Should I be looking anywhere else? (I may visit the record office or send them an e-mail at some point, but presumably I would have to pay them to trawl through the records for me.) I'd be grateful if anyone here has any observations or bright ideas. Thanks! Therese.
