Rob This response from you seems to have come in out of sequence, so I'll just say that yes his (Richard's) death is in the list that you sent but I've not established where his father James came from, though he (James) might be the Oxfordshire convict transported to Tasmania. bfn Alan > That's great that you've placed him, thanks for letting me know! :) I > should have looked at Knibbs too on the CDs, I might try and do that shortly and > let you know if I find a death for him.

John, Any idea where in Australia the ancestors went. I looked but can't find anyone named Clowry in Tasmania, so that probably rules it out as the state they went to. If you have more information on which state and specific names let me know and I will try to think of some possibilities.

In addition to Richard and Sir GHK, on the Victoria list you sent there are a number of decendants of the swing rioter William NIBBS, descendants of Henry Theodore who featured here recently, proof that Henry Johnstone NIBBS was also known as Henry Stephen NIBBS and even a descendant of the armigerous Antiguan sugar planter, James Langford NIBBS. Quite a few listers will have benefited from your contribution. Thanx again. bfn Alan

Alan: Sorry but I do not know anyone from that area that would do a look up. I wonder if they are on film at the Ontario Archives. I will try and find out.

Hi Alan :) Just a thought here, mainly because so far I haven't found a death for Richard either, but could he have gone back to England? I only have the Victorian CDs up to 1985 so perhaps he moved states too, although I haven't found anything on the AVRIs. Maybe someone else on the list has the Tasmanian or other state discs and can do a lookup. Take care, Rob.

They had five children and I have marriages for two of them with one female offspring. I had conjectured that Richard came from London but the date of birth doesn't fit in with the records you found yesterday, so I'll look again after tennis this morning, and concentrate on KNIBBS rather than NIBBS. bfn Alan > I did some searching on my Victorian CDs but couldn't find anything on > Richard.

I AM a trifle busy with K/NIBB/S and my other websites, not to mention my life beyond the computer - I do have one in case anyone was beginning to doubt it! We don't really need anything password protected nor searchable but whatever is the standard set up should do fine. If K/NIBB/S or something approaching it could appear in the name, so much the better. We'll await your instructions, if that's OK. Perhaps start with a photo of you and your family? And I'll follow up with one of us in Barcelona before moving on to something more K/NIBB/s orientated. bfn Alan Alan Jackson Host at The K/NIBB/S One Name Study & Mailing List Website address http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~knibbetc > I hadn't thought of Yahoo!Groups before, talk about a major blonde > moment!!!!

Hi Alan :) That's great that you've placed him, thanks for letting me know! :) I should have looked at Knibbs too on the CDs, I might try and do that shortly and let you know if I find a death for him. It was pretty late when I got around to it and to be honest I couldn't be bothered changing CDs yet again. I shall get to it shortly though, like I should've last night! ;) Take care, Rob.

For those following the saga, Richard's death appears on the Victoria VRI list Rob sent as dying Meeniyan in 1919 aged 95. His father is given as James. A quick search in the database has failed to find his baptism and we might never do so with any certainty because his mother's name is not given. Just a thought though, could he be son of the James bc1799 from Oxfordshire who was himself transported to Tasmania? We do have the knowledge that Richard was transported to Victoria in 1839 on the ship Parkfield and a transportation record of the crossing could I suppose tell us more. Whatever, we now have a tribe of K/NIBBS descended from him and Celia who lived to a grand age herself. So many many thanks to Rob. I'm still working through the list but descendants of Sir George Handley KNIBBS will recognise their family members there. 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?

Hi John :) If it's of any help I have the Victorian Digger CDs (Federation, Edwardian and Death Indexes), the AVRI CDs and I have the Carr Villa CD (Tasmanian burials) and the Tasmanian Convicts CD which is temperamental but does work on occasions! ;D Let me know if I can do any lookups for your daughter, I'm more than happy to help! :D As for help with research, the only suggestion I can make is to join a mailing list appropriate to where or who she's searching i.e. go to Rootsweb.com and look through the Australian lists. I've also got a lot of links for Australian genealogy on my site ... www.honeyshome.com/linksaus.html ... if she wants to try any of those. I need to update that cause I've got some excellent links in my favourites so I'll try and do that before the weekend. Otherwise if I can help I will, just let me know! :D Take care, Rob.

Hi Alan :) I did some searching on my Victorian CDs but couldn't find anything on Richard. I did, however, find this on the AVRIs ... NIBBS, Richard CM 726151 Marriage Spouse: CROZIER, Celia Reg Year: 1857 Reg State: Victoria Ref Number: 2538 Would this be the Richard I found at the PROV site today? I was hoping to find a death so I could give you his parents' names, but while I did have quite a few hits for "Nibbs", I didn't for Richard. Take care, Rob.

I hadn't thought of Yahoo!Groups before, talk about a major blonde moment!!!! I'm a moderator of the Genealogy4Dummies group Alan, and Marsha (?) is right ... you can upload files, photos, anything to Yahoo!Groups sites for free!!! If you've got enough on your plate handling the site and mailing list, let me know and if you want I can organise a Yahoo!Groups Knibbs list. It could be set up just for uploading photos and files and special notification goes out to all list members when they're uploaded. If you don't want to use Yahoo!Groups, I'll check out my cPanel to see whether I can accommodate what you need. Since I've never done it before, I might have to email ION Hosting and ask them for some advice. Take care, Rob.

The cheapest myfamily site is $29.95 (US) per year for a site with 100mb of storage for image, sound, and text files. Essentially unlimited storage of gedcoms (displayed with their rather funky program), family recipes, and such. The more storage you want, the higher the annual price, up to $209.75 for a site with 905mb. There are also yahoo groups - sponsored by yahoo.com, that allow storage of up to 30 mb for free. Info posted to the rootsweb message boards can be found by search engines. The myfamily option and the yahoo groups require membership in order to view any contents.

Hi Alan :) I'll send you the images offlist shortly, but I wanted to offer you some space on my own site for photo uploading. That is, if I can work out how to do it! ;D Give me some time to check out my control panel stuff, but as far as space goes I've got plenty of it. I chose the Gigabyte Plan with ION Hosting, I think I've still got about half a gig space vacant at present. More than enough for people to upload photos, especially if it's only temporary!! :D Take care, Rob.
