Folks: The Historical Newspapers, 1786-2002, include the U.K. and Canada and are said to be over 400 newspapers.. Ritchie

Everybody: Ancestry.com has Historical Newspapers, 1786-2002, This represents an assortment of U.S. newspapers. The surname Knibbs produced 304 references in various newspapers, I was delighted to learn from the Portsmouth (N.H.) Herald of 5 Nov 1923 that a building permit was issued to Charles Knibbs, roofing to cost $3,000.00, on Hampton Road, Essex, New Hampshire. Unfortunately, I don't think this is one of my Charles'.

The Manitoulin Explorer should read Manitoulin Expositor. I guess I got a little excited. Joyce

Alan, I hit the jackpot. I have now found my Charles Knibbs. I received an email from Janet at the Public Services & Systems Co-ordinator in Owen Sound Ontario with all the information. Remember I had found a buriel transcription a couple of weeks ago but did not have a date of death butr had his age. Because there was no date it was a shot in the dark to see if it was my Charles. Janet is going to mail me a copy of the newspaper account. Below is the newspaper transcript. Found in the Owen Sound Times 22 October 1891 p 5 Drowned Word was received Saturday that Chas Knibbs, who worked in the freight sheds until a week ago Tuesday, and who belonged to the Salvation Army here was drowned near Little Current. From the Manitoulin Explorer we learn that he was knocked into the water by the boom of the Schooner Annie. He leaves a wife and a child two months old. He was 21 years of age. The body has not been recovered. We have a picture of a couple marked Charles & his wife but thought this was an error (we did not know who wrote the name on the pic). I guess now we have to find a wife and a child. Hi wife was probably remarried. Joyce

I'm always happy when we can place people from such reports as Bob sent us and even happier when we can link them to others within the database. To complete the story re James from Bob's posting - copied below. I know him as James NIBBS who was transported to Tasmania on the Anson in 1844. His description: a protestant, farm labourer 5ft 3/4" dark complexion, dark brown hair and whiskers, light blue eyes. In Tasmania, he married Mary Ann DALTON on 27th March 1853 and lived at Antil Ponds District of Oatlands where the couple had 8 children. A descendant is David BOON who contacted me earlier this year. He tells me that James was living at Akeley at the time of committing the offence but we've not linked him to Joyce's family there. However, from Bob's item it is revealed that one of the accused was Plowman Jones aged 37 who was acquitted. He had married Hannah KNIBBS on 12th June 1827 at Akeley. An uncle leading his nephew astray? I also have an Ann KNIBB married 1 Jan 1822 (Aylesbury) to a Samuel BARBY from Whittlebury. Doubtless related but not a Mafia family, unless it was a basket made of or containing gold! More likely 15 years for a few apples or bread to stave off hunger. I'm glad James prospered in Tasmania. bfn Alan KNIBBS JAMES WHITTLEBURY NORTHAMPTONSHIRE QUARTER SESSIONS JAMES KNIBBS, AGED 23, THOMAS BARBY, AGED 20, & PLOWMAN JONES, AGED 37 (JONES OUT ON BAIL), WERE CHARGED WITH BURGLARIOUSLY BREAKING INTO THE HOUSE OF THOMAS BIRD, OF WHITTLEBURY, AND STEALING THEREFROM A BASKET AND OTHER ARTICLES - KNIBBS AND BARRY GUILTY ; FIFTEEN YEARS TRANSPORTATION.
