Friends The FreeBMD website looks as if it could be a real godsend. As well as thanking Joyce for alerting us to its much enhanced features, we should thank Natascha (and all her colleagues) for transcribing these millions of records. Perhaps if you find on that website any previously un-named spouses who married K/NIBB/S within your own tree, you could report them to me to save duplication of effort. I've already found 23 in moments without any systematic checking. Now those of you who know me well enough might query that figure but I can truthfully tell you that it is our 23rd Wedding Anniversary on Sunday - yes Easter Day and what follows is not an April Fool's joke. Clearly 23 is more important to me than any old silver wedding anniversary and so it has had to be marked by something pretty special. So special that I'm not broadcasting it to the list but am keen to tell any of you individually who might enquire. So if intrigued, just drop me a line direct to [email protected] and all will be revealed in confidence. I think you will understand the reason for my secrecy when I reply. bfn Alan

Alan I found a few un-named spouses from my tree. They are as follows: Bertha Annie Knibbs dau of George & Lucy Knibbs married George Steele in Bicester 4th Q 1898. Frederick James Knibbs married Sarah Tompkins 2nd Q 1890 in Buckingham Frederick James Knibbs married Mary Floyd 3rd Q 1898 Not sure if the next one is part of my tree or not as I have not checked: Sarah Ann Knibbs married Albert Ernest Lawrance 4th Q 1887 I was at the LDS this morning and looked up the above as well. Happy Easter to everyone Alan I would like to congratulate you and Michele on your 23rd wedding anniversary. bfn Joyce [email protected] wrote: > Friends > > The FreeBMD website looks as if it could be a real godsend.

Alan I made an oops. Bertha Annie is not the dau of my George & Lucy. She was only bap in 1897 now that I look at my records. Maybe this will help someone anyway. bfn Joyce [email protected] wrote: > Friends > > The FreeBMD website looks as if it could be a real godsend.
