Alan, Firstly, many thanks to Joyce for finding this information and passing it on. Richard KNIBBS, bap at Deddington in 1837 is one of those for whom I have no details other than his marriage to Mary Jane TAYLOR so this itself is a good indication that they moved away from Deddington (and indeed the surrounding areas in Oxfordshire where I've been searching). I have sighted him in the Woodstock Union Census for 1851, living with his parents, but that's all. There was certainly no other Richard from Deddington within 20 years either side of 1837, so it must be him. I have no record of his first wife having died - where did that come from, please? Do we know where and when Richard married his second wife Susannah?

Alan, Thanks for the reply. I have her down as a KNIBBS from the PR, but I may well have added the "S" by mistake - I notice that one of the witnesses was Richard KNIBB (without the "S") and this could well have been her father so I suspect you're right. Her age is given as 27 years, but I not that her husband is given as 26 so maybe she fibbed a little. I know of two such situations in living memory but that's another story which I may well share with the list one day! I'll pass on the info to Sue TYDD and ask her to contact you.

Don Re death of first wife, as stated 01qtr 1886 which was in Woodstock District [on who else? principle] and re second marriage as shown 03qtr 1887 Buckingham District. It's only subsequently struck me that a son by the second marriage has the middle name of Taylor, so I wonder if Susannah was a relation and perhaps worth looking for her on 1881 census. I should mention that I do have another Richard born c1837 Oxfordshire but no hint that he came from Deddington. As you are aware I have ordered the Oxon Censuses index for 1841, 1861, 1871 and 1891 which should be with us shortly so will just keep an eye out for the pair of them to satisfy that we do have the correct Richard who married Mary Jane TAYLOR. bfn Alan > Firstly, many thanks to Joyce for finding this information and passing it > on.

Does anyone have a connection to the Mary Ann KNIBBS who married to Thomas ANTHISTLE at Banbury on 29 December 1873, please? All I know abut her is that she was 27 years of age from Banbury, Oxfordshire, when she married (so born about 1846), was a spinster when she married Thomas, and the daughter of Richard KNIBBS. I've been contacted by a lady named Sue Tydd (nee Anthistle) trying to make a connection. Don

Don Joyce FISCHER of Canada, bless her, has been searching the 1891 Bucks census and one of the items will be of interest to you, at least I think so. I had details of the Confectioner before (from an unrelated researcher in France) but only now know that he came from Deddington, aged 54 in 1891. Susannah was 38 in 1891 which fits with a N Bucks death I found as shown. Please take a look at the following and see if you agree. Not shown is his earlier marriage to Mary Jane TAYLOR who we have as dying 01 qtr 1886. bfn Alan EXTRACT FROM K/NIBB/S DATABASE - 9 February 2002 E&OE Richard KNIBBS Born c1837 Deddington Baptised 10Mar1837 Died 01qtr1923 Buckingham District 86 Buried Occupation Confectioner 1891 2 Well St Buckingham 1915 Father John KNIBBS Mother Mary Ann KNIBBS Note I previously had him listed as follows which doesen't really gel with confectioner in later life but stranger things occur.

Don At a guess I would say the twins were descendants of Raymond Leon as he himself had twins in NewYork. These would be a subsequent generation and perhaps known to Kim with whom you are in contact. Doubtless they are still living so there are some confidentiality issues to consider so you might be able to find out a bit more about the enquiry which might help put together another branch of your family. bfn Alan > I found this on the Ancestry.Com Knibbs Message Board this evening under a > heading of "Knibbs Twins" and dated 3rd Feb 2002, so thought I'd pass it on. > > im looking for twin girls kimberly and jennifer,born 3/17/69 > in nyack hospital,in rockland county new york. > reply to:[email protected] > >

Don I have her in the database as Mary Ann KNIBB and that was the name under which she appears in the GRO but her age if 27 throws me a bit as I reckon she was older than that having been born in 1841, although not baptised until 1848 which might have led to some confusion. Perhaps you could ask Sue TYDD to contact me off-list to resolve some issues. If I have the correct family thay came from Bodicote but various generations appear in records as KNIBB/S and their age are contradictory in them and in censuses. Richard was indeed the father and I can get back to a John bc1781 a Labourer/Carrier who died aged 45 at Bodicote. So can anyone place/claim a John KNIBB/S born then? A brother of Mary Ann was with Thomas ANTHISTLE in 1881. bfn Alan > Does anyone have a connection to the Mary Ann KNIBBS who married to Thomas > ANTHISTLE at Banbury on 29 December 1873, please?

To put the record straight, I should have mentioned that thankfully, the nickname only lasted until the end of war when his fellow prisoners all went their separate ways. When he returned home it reverted back to "Harry". Don

I have a couple more stories I'd like to share. "Stinky" Knibbs During his days as a prisoner of war my father, Harold George Knibbs picked up the very unpleasant nick-name of "Stinky". My mother told me about the nick-name but not the story behind it. I assumed it was perhaps related to personal hygiene or bodily functions so never raised the subject with him. However, one day he was reminiscing about his time as a prisoner of war and told me the story. During one of his many escape attempts, he and several of his friends had escaped from the prison camp. They'd managed to get many miles away from the camp and out into the German countryside, hiding up by day and travelling by night. One particularly dark night, they were walking along a small country lane when they heard several vehicles approaching. Assuming that it was a German patrol they realised that they would have to find cover. Dad saw a large hay stack across the hedge in one of the fields, so he scrambled through the hedge, ran for the hay stack and dived in. Imagine his surprise when he found it wasn't a hay stack but a manure heap on a pig farm! That was one time, he told me, that he was more than pleased when he was recaptured. The manure washed off but sadly, the nick-name stuck! "Vanity" Knibbs: A couple of years ago, I came across an old photograph of my grandfather George Levi Knibbs and decided that I would like to have some copies made from it. At that time, I had no scanner, so instead, took it to the local photographer to be reproduced. It was a busy Saturday morning and whilst standing in the queue, looking at my grandfather's photograph now out of the frame, I suddenly noticed that with the light shining across it, I could see lots of indentations and scratches on the surface. Closer inspection revealed that these were pencil marks. At first glance of the photograph (taken in his 30's) he appeared to have a pretty good head of hair - the pencil marks were in fact his attempt to cover his bald spot! It certainly fooled me at first. When I reached the front of the queue, I pointed this out to the photographer and he told me not to worry. He would restore the photograph to remove the blotches and blemishes and whilst doing it, would sort his hair out. And that is what he did. I am now the proud owner of a very old photograph of my grandfather with a full head of fair curls. I hope he would approve. The marvels of technology. I mentioned this to my aunt (George's daughter) the next time I visited her. She had a good chuckle but wasn't surprised by it. She told me he was always a very vain man and told me another story about his vanity. During the war he worked as a railway porter at Basingstoke railway station and fell off the platform during an air raid. He blacked both his eyes. Apparently, he wouldn't set foot outside of the house for several weeks until all the bruising had completely disappeared. Don

....try, try again. I've made contact with a few more people in my quest to arrange celebrations for the bicentenary of William KNIBB's birth in 2003. The Rev Dr Gordon CATHERALL, author of 'William KNIBB, Freedom Fighter' has told me about lectures he has given in the past and has offered me a manuscript of his book. Unfortunately, he is too ill to undertake anything personally. Leicester University are sending me a copy of one of his other papers - 'The Kettering Connection'. Dr Gad HEUMAN at Warwick University has suggested a series of lectures but regrettably is not willing to give them himself. Nevertheless, I have obtained an extremely comprehensive list of source books he recommends to his students studying Caribbean History - available for anyone who would like a copy.. I've asked for official confirmation that the Committee of the Kettering Operatic Society have decided not to stage 'Knibb, the Musical' in 2003. Brian SMITH has interested a local school headteacher in the production and the Fuller Church in Kettering may be prepared to undertake a narrated version. It would be a real bonus if a production could take place during the Second International Gathering of K/NIBB/S Researchers. Are you planning to come to Kettering in September 2003? The annual 'Virginia' KNIBB Reunion is taking place in North Carolina in June this year and we'll see, fingers crossed, if a representative group can attend our gathering. One of their number, Clopton KNIBB, has been interviewed by a local Goochland Newspaper. A copy can be found at http://www.goochgaz.com/archives/dec2201/news.html#2 and for resilience qualifies as a family story worthy of anything we can share in our series of mailing list 'items'. Don KNIBBS was the last contributor to the series and there must be more K/NIBB/S stories awaiting the limelight. I mentioned 'he'll pay for the Onslow' but must correct one slur on the family. Although handed down from Michele's grandmother, it was in fact 'coined' by a friend of hers about someone else. At the head of Michele's family is James KNIBB a butcher who died in Hellidon, Northants in 1787. A resident from there, Jenifer FELL, who has helped me before has recently visited mine and Don's websites. She has written a book about the village which is as good as any local history book I've ever come across. It mentions 'our' James and also one who died there in 1693 which is news to me. I've asked for confirmation as this could open up a whole new line of enquiry for Michael PEARMAN and myself. Thanx to Robin for having answered the GRO look up query and all power to Joyce's elbow for rooting out more of her KNIBBS. Re Cathy's Rootsweb CD's enquiry, I noted in the article to which we were referred by Natascha that some of the data is drawn from the material that is available to those who subscribe to the on-line Ancestry.com's British collection. I asked once before if anyone had ventured into this and assume not, as there were no affirmative replies at that time. Can we assume still the case? The Oxfordshire mailing list has recently advertised the availability via the OFHS of the 1841 - 1891 censuses and I've asked for a quote for all K/NIBB/S, excluding 1851 and 1881 which I have already. I can also report for those who are keenly awaiting the 1901 census online that further delays are likely. The system is, as reported, running at various selected sites but even there interruptions are occurring as the developers try and iron out the problems. There will be 'downtimes' at those sites for a period up to 20th February, so we can't expect anything on-line before then and perhaps for several weeks thereafter. Ah well, plenty of time for me to do some more 'trying'. bfn Alan List Administrator and host at <A HREF="http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~knibbetc/">THE K/NIBB/S ONE NAME STUDY website</A> Did you know?

As most will know, today, February 6th 2002 is Queen Elizabeth's Golden Jubilee year. I had a quick look back over the years to see what other event's took place amongst my ancestors on February 6th. Today is the 176th wedding anniversary of Catharine Knibbs and Thomas Wyatt who married at Banbury, Oxfordshire in 1826. It is also the 114th wedding anniversary of Mary Ann Knibbs and Caleb Murrey who married at Deddington, Oxfordshire in 1888. Don

Don > I have three little stories that I hope will at least cause a chuckle or > two: > > Indeed so. Perhaps there will be more in the same theme before we dip into the more moving stories. I know that some family sayings in Michele's family have been illluminating and caused me to smile. One relative many many years ago apparently 'got' a ladyfriend of his into trouble and she was delivered of her baby at the local private hosptal, the name of which had Onslow in the title. To this day, if someone does anything that they shouldn't, however serious or trivial, someone will remark that they will have to 'pay for the Onslow'. bfn Alan
