Hi Jenny, I have KNAPPs in Surrey & Sussex, but I am not aware of a connection to Essex. Charles & Sarah KNAPP had 6 children, inc Thomas (my 4x g gf) 1783 Carshalton SRY - 1867 Henfield SSX.

I have just begun to research my Knapp line and so I will firstly sketch a few details. Generation One. George KNAPP married Louisa MORTON Generation Two. One of their children was William Hyde KNAPP who married Susannah WILSON 1836 in Kent; William Hyde died 1892 Hackney Union Infirmary. Generation Three. One of the children of William and Susannah was Arthur Wilson KNAPP b 1840 Hoxton Old Town, married Catherine FAIERS 1870 Nayland, Suffolk, and he died 1850 Ilford, Essex. If there is anyone out there who may be connected I would love to hear from you and share the Australian side of the family. Best wishes.....Jenny in Oz
