    2. The 1762 Militia Lists for Kettering are mentioned at another page on this website referred to us by Bob and Joyce. Rod might be interested to know that Samuel and Job NIBBS both weavers are mentioned. Now I have brothers of the same names, one of whom was a weaver but at Kidderminster. I wonder if it's possible that they were working on a commission in or around Kettering - a long way away but the coincidence is startling. bfn Alan Alan Jackson Host at The K/NIBB/S One Name Study & Mailing List Website address http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~knibbetc Did you know?

    1. Tim KNIBBS and daughter
    2. Middletown News CT By PENNY RIORDAN Staff Writer SOUTHINGTON -- It seems the early bird caught the bike Saturday morning at the Southington police station on Lazy Lane, as nearly 50 bicycles were unofficially claimed long before the official beginning of the sale at 9 a.m. "When we pulled up, there were so many people already out here eyeing the bikes they wanted," said Sgt. Lowell DePalma. The bikes were part of the annual police department tag sale, where officers clean out a year’s worth of lost or abandoned items found all over town. Because a local radio station advertised the start time at 8 a.m., many people arrived before the official start-time at 9 a.m. and were staking claim on the bikes and other items such as CDs, backpacks, hand tools and power tools. By 10 a.m., all that was left for the latecomers were a few rusty mail boxes, some lawn ornaments, a water cooler and three textbooks titled "Abnormal Psychology," "Statistics for Managers" and "Public Speaking." Tim Knibbs showed up after 10 a.m., hoping for a bargain bike, but left with a $1 bargain on a "Barney" video for his daughter. "I guess this is all that’s left," he said matter-of-factly as he paid for his video and walked away. A makeshift sign at the gate said "bikes sold out" in large blue letters but a few people cruised slowly by the back lot of the year-old police station on Lazy Lane, looking disappointedly at the leftovers. The eagerness of Southington residents to reclaim other’s lost bikes was a success for the police department, who had to clean out two years of inventory following the department’s move to their new headquarters. Officers, taken off guard by the early turnout of parents and children eager to take $5 bikes of the department’s hands, said they were disappointed no one showed up to reclaim any of the lost bikes. "We hate to disappoint anybody who showed up and didn’t get a bike," DePalma said while sweeping the parking lot and tidying up around 10:30 a.m. "But truly the sale was a success for us," he added, since the proceeds from the sale every year go towards the department’s pension fun as required by state statute. DePalma estimated roughly a couple hundred dollars was raised from Saturday’s sale.

    1. Re: [K/NIBB/S] James KNIBBS of Whittlebury
    2. Joyce There were postings re the 1843 criminal cases but not the other material. I've noted them and the 1871 census entries and the Kettering Militia List entries for 1762. Could be very useful to some K/NIBB/S researchers. To find out more about the cases, one has to purchase copies of the articles which may contain more genealogical information but as I found with the ones I purchased and reported to the list, it's somwehat of a gamble. bfn Alan > Hi Bob: > > I was just going through my email letters and came across an entry you > had sent in April.

    2. St George's dismiss Taurus 5-1 Observer Reporter Saturday, July 17, 2004 Port Antonio - Richard Knibbs' hat trick of goals enabled St George's to defeat Taurus 5-1 as the Portland Dr Donald Rhodd Under-21 football competition continued at Carder Park on Wednesday. Orane Mitchell (seventh), Keno McKnight (10th) Richard Knibbs (18th, 20th and 60th) were on target for St George's, while Dexroy Taylor (40th) replied for Taurus. Mitchell sent his team ahead when he capitalised on a defensive error and fired past Tristan Barrett in goal. Three minutes later McKnight added to the tally. Knibbs started his hat trick when he moved down the right flank and fired home from an acute angle. His second came two minutes later in similar fashion. Taurus pulled one back just before the half ended when Taylor's shot was poorly handled by Fabian Wray and slipped into the open goal. Barrett fired home after getting by two defenders to close out the scoring.

    3. The two following are connected with Mark KNIBBS of Farminton, Connecticut, USA, descended from James Knibbs b. 1828 at Clifton, Oxfordshire. Published on August 1, 1998 in The Hartford Courant With a burst of speed, Mark Knibbs hit the concrete ramp and went soaring skyward. Seven or 8 feet above the ground he turned and came down, landing on his trusty Rollerblades and skating away. His was only one of an amazing display of aerial feats Friday afternoon in front of town leaders who gathered to officially open Farmington's long-awaited skate park in the parking lot of a former industrial building at 1451 New Britain Ave. There were some gasps from the audience Mark tells me that he was asked to do a demo for the newspaper to show what the new skateboard park was all about. That was 6 years ago! Mark has now advanced to more powerful wheels. Take a look at his new pride and joy at http://knibbs.cougardb.com/ - give the pictures time to load at the bottom of the web page. Don

    3. Does anyone know of this firm of Coachbuilders which was established in 1840? I found an article on the internet that provided a list of Coachbuilders who were involved with building bodies for Bentley cars. Apparently, the chassis left the factory at Derby without body work, apart from the radiator and bonnet. The chassis was then delivered to the coachbuilder of the customer's choice to have a body built to that customer' s order, so that the body then gives each car its individuality and character. Amongst the list of Coachbuilders there is Knibbs & Parkyn of Manchester and the records show that they built just one body for the Derby Bentley cars. There are quite a few other companies who only built one so I wonder why that was. Don

Already undertaken? > I've offered to look into the feasability of extracting all pre 1700 K/NIBB/S from the database. It would of course duplicate and supplement what's already available - ie the IGI and VRI. The additions would be those parishes not covered by the Mormons but indexed by various Family History Socieies or lone researchers who have contributed to the K/NIBB/S database. If the extract was a gedcom extract, a geographical analysis might then be undertaken using a proprietary program. However thinking aloud, perhaps I could somehow use the 'flags' within the Atari database to issue 10 separate gedcoms of pre 1700 K/NIBB/S. The flags are my own geographic areas which I set up from the very start. They are not particularly scientific but group together all K/NIBB/S with connections in egs of three of them:- (1)Warwicks, (2) Oxf/Derby/Notts, (3) London/the home Counties/Yorks! Someone who moved from Warwicks to London would, however, appear in both gedcoms but that wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing. It would take me a while to do it this way but not impossible. Mark you I have already tried myself to make the connections and do so each time I go back on a 19/20th century tree. The exercise would though enable others listers to bring their expertise to bear on the possible linkages and I would hope that any successes would be shared amongst the group. To avoid duplication of effort, we could perhaps split the gedcoms between us eg John could undertake Leics/Lincs and liaise with whoever opted to research an adjoining region. The whole thing will be that much more worthwhile, I feel, once the second edition of the Natonal Burial Index is available. Indeed, I'm pinning my hopes on it! Of course, the NBI goes beyond anything the Mormons have covered and I'm hoping the new edition will extend to areas where hitherto unknown pockets of K/NIBB/S removed/were located - or shows that they were confined to those areas already researched. If we know eg a particular John died in infancy/childhood that would lessen the number of possible John forbears of a branch of K/NIBB/S. The 'Dossier' at the website could be extended to include the Record Offices visited by myself and others. A new contact is going to Lincoln this week.

    1. Brian Knibb strikes it rich
    2. Cyrille's back for Sky Blues Coventry newspaper - UK Jul 12 2004 Former England striker Cyrille Regis linked up with his former Coventry City FA Cup winning team-mates of 1987 in a special friendly match at Leamington yesterday from which the proceeds went towards the Midland Combination club's on-going ground improvements. Almost 800 fans crowded inside the New Windmill Ground for the game which ended 1-1 with midfielder Dave Phillips netting for the Sky Blues and Martin Thompson replying for the Brakes. Leamington secretary Brian Knibb said: "It was a big success. The City lads were superb and it was a superb day which raised £2,500 with still more money to come in."

    2. I posted the image at the yahoo site, but I notice it's not overly legible. I was going to try again, but some of that county seems to be missing today. I may still have the jpg image on a computer at home - I'll check it tommorrow. Meanwhile, I discovered that ancestry.com didn't index these people as "Knibbs". Hmmm...
