Marsha That's all I need to do it seems - snap my fingers and you come up trumps! Albert belongs to Joyce and the town is Drayton where Evelyn was born 1899, I see - we had 1900. Herbert is her Herbert Henry and we have Nov 1867 but seegiven as Sept. Stephen is new. Was he with other KNIBBS or are the rest just un-named he as Head? Sarah is Richard's. I've only recently learnt about her and this census entry will I'm sure be of interest to him. bfn Alan > KNIBBS, Albert, head of household, born Dec 1872, age 26, married 3 years, > birthplace illegible but probably ends in -land, father & mother born in > England, immigrated 1892, in US 8 years, naturalization papers filed, occ. > Farmer, can read, write, and speak English, owns home with mortgage. > KNIBBS, Olive, wife, born Sept 1877, age 22, married 3 years, mother of one > child, born in Canada, parents born in Canada, immigrated 1881, in US 19 > years, can read, write, and speak English. > KNIBBS, Eveline, daughter, born Sept 1899, age 10/12, single, birthplace > illegible, father's birthplace illeg (DARN!), mother born in Canada.

The name was F S Knibbs on the inscription if this helps. I will check the dates next time me or Kath is in Oxford. Best Regards Chris Riley

Hi everyone. Just to let you know of a web page that has obituaries. http://obits.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/obit.cgi There are now 24 Knibbs death records on the list. There are five that belong to me. Hope this will help someone. bfn Joyce

Hi Marsha Albert Knibbs is my grand uncle. Their daughter Eveline died at the age of 2 in Sep 1901. Alexander is also part of my tree as well as Herbert. I had no idea that Herbert had lived in the US, namely N.Dakota, however it is quite conceivable that he did because Albert and his sister Eliza were living here. Eliza eventually married a James Bugge and immigrated to Canada as well as did Albert, Alex and Herbert. All taking out homesteads next to my gfather William. Alberts birthplace is Akeley, Bucks. Alexanders parents were born in Akeley, Bucks as well as Herbert. I had not realized they would be on a US census and had never ordered in the film through my library.

As ancestry doesn't have the 1900 indexed yet, I haven't done much with it, but the citation was good enough to be able to find the entry quickly. They're both on page 5B.  Unfortunately this enumertor seems to have been saving money on ink and some of the info is hard to read. KNIBBS, Albert, head of household, born Dec 1872, age 26, married 3 years, birthplace illegible but probably ends in -land, father & mother born in England, immigrated 1892, in US 8 years, naturalization papers filed, occ. Farmer, can read, write, and speak English, owns home with mortgage. KNIBBS, Olive, wife, born Sept 1877, age 22, married 3 years, mother of one child, born in Canada, parents born in Canada, immigrated 1881, in US 19 years, can read, write, and speak English. KNIBBS, Eveline, daughter, born Sept 1899, age 10/12, single, birthplace illegible, father's birthplace illeg (DARN!), mother born in Canada.  (She was probably born in North Dakota as there's nothing listed  for immigration.) KNIBBS, Alex, cousin, born June 1878, age 21, single, born in Canada, parents born in Canada, imm. in 1900, status alien, occ. farm laborer, can read, write, and speak English. A few lines down the page, in the household of a Norwegian farmer whose surname begins with "B", is the entry for KNIBBS, Herbert, born Sep 1867, age 32, single, born in England, parents born in England, immigrated 1900, status alien, occ. farm laborer, can read, write, and speak English. Unfortunately the 1840 census wasn't so informative.  The entry reads: KNIBBS, Stephen, 2 white males under 5, 2 white males between 5 & 10, 1 white male between 50 & 60, 1 white female under 5, 2 white females between 5 & 10, 2 white females between 10 and 15, 1 white female between 30 and 40, 1 male slave, two female slaves, total 14 people; 3 persons in family employed in agriculture. The 1850 entry is for Grayville, in White Co, IL.  In the household of a Danish merchant named Knoph Thompson is: KNIBBS, Sarah, age 20, born in Illinois.

Not sure if this is of value to anyone. I received it from the Devon list in response to my question re brickmakers in Devon. It doesn't move me any further forward in the search for Charles from Devon, but nevertheless, it was extremely kind of a lady on the Devon list to take the time to extract this and pass it on.

Don Yes, coincidence it is but very helpful. The Rev Charles has outwitted me up to now. In 1881, his daughter appeared as Elizabeth and he didn't give St George as his place of birth. With that, I think I've nailed him down to he born 1838 [see GRO birth list] notwithstanding a slight age difference which becomes even more marked at his death. Nevertheless, the links look strong and I've put him with the Stratton Audley KNIBBS back to John NIBBS in Caversfield 1635ish. They could even have come from Hook Norton before that but nothing really to go on at this stage so as to give you a man of the cloth. bfn Alan PS I'LL WATCH IF THIS GETS THROUGH BECAUSE THE LAST MAILING LIST POSTING TO YOU AND PETER KNIBBS, ALSO ON BT INTERNET, BOUNCED. > I am getting some feedback already and amongst it, there were the following > entries for a couple of other Devon Charles' from the 1891 census.

Robin had sent me the printed sheets of the 3 Counties 1851 Census for all K/NIBB/S a long while ago. It is duly mentioned on the Dossier website page and incorporated into the database.

At my most recent visit to the Northamptonshire County Record Office, I found a copy of some verses written by a sister of the missionary Thomas KNIBB, William's elder brother. They are very poignant and worthy of inclusion on the website. Coincidentally with Richard KNIBBS posting of the Buckinghamshire K/NIBB/S on the Posse Comitatus, I also found at the Northants CRO a Return of Enrolment 1803 which mentions their father. It appears his name had come up in a Militia List ballot but he succeeded in finding a substitute to go in his place, whom he doubtless had to pay. Both items can be read by following the What's New/Latest links. bfn Alan Host at: <A HREF="http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~knibbetc/">THE K/NIBB/S ONE NAME STUDY website</A>

In an effort to find more evidence of the connection between Charles KNIBBS, possibly born in Devon on 15 Feb 1821, and the family of John KNIBBS/Ann ALDRIDGE of Deddington, Oxfordshire, I've subscribed to the Devon list to see if I can find any help. My first simple enquiry to see if anyone knew of his baptism in Devon got no reply - which didn't surprise me. Piecing together what we know of this family unit: We know John's brother Thomas was a gardener/labourer, and I suspect that John too was possibly a labourer in his younger days. We know that John and Ann were living at Deddington in 1819 when Nehemiah was baptised. We also believe that John and Ann "disappeared" from Oxfordshire between 1819 and 1824. If indeed Isaac was their son, we know that they were living at Somerton in 1824 when Isaac was baptised. John gave his occupation as "Brickmaker" at Isaac's baptism in 1824. I've never come across the trade of "Brickmaker" in Oxfordshire so I wonder if this was a trade John picked up in Devon? I've written to the Devon list to ask where bricks would have been made during 1819-1824 in Devon. I'm hoping that I'll get some positive feedback which may help to narrow down just where to look to see if we can find Charles' baptism. It's a bit of a long shot but... I am getting some feedback already and amongst it, there were the following entries for a couple of other Devon Charles' from the 1891 census. Not the Charles we're looking for and probably not new information, but worth passing on. 1891 census (Tormoham En.4) 4 101 14 87 Tor Vale - Heatherdon 2 KNIBBS Charles Head W 52 y Minister (employee) MDX St George-London KNIBBS Charles Percy Son S19 y (not-Empr/empee) GLS Stonehouse KNIBBS Alice Emily Dau S 13 y scholar DEV Torquay BAUKS Rosa Sarah Serv S 20 y Dom Servnt MDX Hackney-London I recognise that this is a totally different timeframe from Charles b. 1821, but notice that Alice Emily was born in Torquay where I'm told there was a large brickmaking concern called Webber & Steadham from about the mid 1800s. Probably no more than coincidence. Don

I would be interested in the "Nibbs' individuals.
