Hi all. I just thought I'd better write a few lines following my flying visit to Northampton CRO last Thursday since when I've been yo-yoing here and there. They do not have the 1901 Northants census but it is available apperrently at the Northampton library if anyone is thinking of a visit there. Some hoped for breakthroughs did not materialise but I've been able to make one or two consolidations to the database. I will be contacting Alan DAVIS re Michael KNIB at the head of his chart as I have discovered where he was born. I don't think I have anyone else descended from him but please have a word if he is at the top of your chart. I really appreciate the recent contributions of extracts from census and parish records which have helped me and, for sure, a number of researchers both on and off list. Thank you very much everyone concerned. bfn Alan

Alan I have found Emma Janes death listed as Dec qtr 1891 ( ref 3a 423 ). Sorry, George and Mary Anne Ingram are not on my list. They are on the other Knibbs list from Quainton. Or at least I cannot fit them into my tree. In the 1901 census for Quainton I have Wiliam Knibb, head, 66. Harriet, wife, 67. William Claydon Knibbs, widower, along with Roseline. I have confirmed the marriage between William and Harriett as Dec quarter 1894 ref 3a 1154 ). The death is as you say wrong as I have he death listed as 82. On the 1901 census it puts her age as 67. The ref is Dec quarter 1901. I think that I may have picked the wrong Harriett. Thinking it was Aylesbury I put 2 and 3 together but made 5. The Harriet that died in 1901 was I think the one that was Josephs wife. Again not on my tree. I will see if I can get hole of the details to prove it.

Hi Alan, The book in question is a book about the village. Several people who have lived in the village have wrote their own stories about growing up in Maids Morton. However from the story I can tell that Violet's parents were Harold Gibbs - baker, and Philomene - surname not given. They met in France, yes she is french, when he was in the war. Violet mentions her husband by saying that he used to deliver to her dad. Cyril dad had a haulage buissness. Now looking in another book in buckingham library, I have found a W.Knibbs, haulage contractor living in Nelson St. in 1939. I think that this is Cyrils dad. Hope this helps somone. By the way. I found a book called the Posse Commitas ?. Listing all Knibbs in the area in 1798. Any use ?.

My last posting wasn't really intended for the KNIBB list so sorry about that. It was intended for the Oxfordshire list! Don

I've been given the following extracts from the Rev. Cotton Risley's diary for September 1842 which some may find interesting. The surname mentioned are RISLEY, WICKHAM, ROE, POULTON and CARTWRIGHT. I do have some more extracts and will post them over the next few days. "In the diaries of the Rev Cotton Risley for the month of September 1842, we read of his eldest son, Holford, being taken ill, of Deddington Annual Horticultural Show, and of the opening of Chipping Norton Town Hall. 1ST SEPTEMBER - We were called away by a letter this morning from Mr Wickham stating that our dear boy Holford was extremely ill at Brook Green (his school) -whither we hastened immediately and found him in bed and looking much paler and thinner and altogether far from well indeed. We arranged for a physician to see him and his Mother who was also extremely unwell and had been so for some time past. 2ND SEPTEMBER Susan saw Dr Roe and was much pleased and satisfied with him. He considered Holford to be in a very critical state requiring the greatest care with a total cessation from mental exertion for some weeks and recommended his going to Brighton immediately. 6TH SEPTEMBER - Having brought him home the Doctor came to see Holford, he was not so well and extremely feverish - he ordered him 8 leeches on the temples which afforded him much relief. Ordered off several tramps or beggars. 7TH SEPTEMBER - Our Horticultural annual show took place in the Castle Grounds, the fruits, flowers and vegetables were better than any heretofore exhibited, The Dinner took place at The Unicorn Inn, Mr Robert Cartwright took the Chair. 16TH SEPTEMBER - The bell tolled this morning for poor Poulton at the Tune who died about half past 3 o'clock. I drove to Chipping Norton to attend the Agricultural Meeting and Dinner afterwards which took place in the new Town Hall, a handsome and most commodious room for such a purpose. This was the first public dinner there. 21ST SEPTEMBER - I preached the sermon at the re-opening of Kings Sutton Church following repairs and refitting, the Archdeacon preached in the evening. 24TH SEPTEMBER - Man committed to prison for violently beating his wife - he had done so two or three times before. I called at Mr R's and spoken to him about his Beer House and the Company resorting there - cautioning him as to his conduct. 28TH SEPTEMBER - Left for Brighton and set about seeking lodgings there."

Don: It is interesting to note that there was a Rev.John Holford Risley, rector of St.James Church in Akeley, Bucks. I wonder if he is related to Rev. Cotton Risley?. Rev Risley did a lot for the church in Akeley, with rebuilding and making repairs. Rev. John H. Risley married many of my ancestors. bfn Joyce Don Knibbs wrote: > I've been given the following extracts from the Rev. Cotton Risley's diary > for September 1842 which some may find interesting.

Alan. Ancestry.com has a John Knibbs born in Deddington, Aug. 1723, whose father was also John Knibbs and mother was Jane Scorsbock. Do you know if these people in my tree? Ritchie

Now that you mention it I see I have said William James dying in Bunker Hill in 1908, but I didn't have any family for him. So his other sons & daughters should be in/around St. Louis when they finally get Missouri indexed? I'll go ahead & enter them in my program so I can identify them when I come across them.

Hi I am looking for someone who would have a Violet Knibbs - nee Gibbs - on their tree. I have found a book in the local library called 'Memories of Maids Moreton'. It's a small village just outside Buckingham, near to Akley. In it there is a chapter about Violet, and how she grew up as a child. There is very little about he husband - Mr. knibb - but to anyone who has her on their tree, they may like a photo copy of the chapter. Richard

Hi, I found this whilst looking for long lost relatives. a question mark means that I could not read the name very well, but I assume that if they are on your tree you will know who they are.

Hi Alan, I confirmed that my grandfather was still there. I have also found that William Knibbs re married to Harriet Butler. The census shows them as being aged 66 and 67 years old. In the St. Catherines index I have found her death in the 4th quarted of 1901 - aged 67. The census also shows that William Claydon Knibbs had moved back with his father - it shows him as a widower - although I have no record of the death of Emma Jane, his wife. George Knibb, Mary Ann - his wife - and children Thomas, Harry and Florence also show but are not on my list. I also looked in Stone, a small village outside Aylesbury to see if there were any Knibbs there. I know that William Claydon Knibbe died there in 1931 and thought that there may well be others living in the village. I did find that there was a John Knibbs, aged 49, married, in the mental hospital listed as a lunatic - now who wants to claim him - I cannot find him on my list although he may be from the other Knibbs line from Quainton.

Richard Again many thanks for this info and for the Akeley ones that I've managed to sort all bar William/Sheila(?). I think we had better exchange your family info again off list as I have some differences eg wasn't the Harriet who died 1901 an 82 year old? Compare Harriet who died 01 qtr 1913 Amersham District aged 79. I can also give you Emma Jane's death in 1891 but didn't know that William Claydon died at Stone though have the date. And aren't George and Mary Ann INGRAM on your chart? I don't have Thomas and Florence as such so am interested in their ages. John KNIBBS in the asylum is probably John Charles KNIBB born 01 qtr 1852. He had already dropped the Charles on the 1881 census but I must look for a marriage. bfn Alan > I confirmed that my grandfather was still there.

Richard I have her as Violet Annie GIBBS who married Cyril Alwyn KNIBBS 15 Jul 1957 at Maids Moreton Remember those graves you found at Buckingham? - some from the same family. He died Leicester Central 1994 and the family originally came from Whitfield (Brackley) so researchers with links back to them may be interested. I don't have a record as to where Violet was born so am interested in the article for that sort of detail and any mention of children. bfn Alan > I am looking for someone who would have a Violet Knibbs - nee Gibbs - on > their tree.
