Don Thanx for passing this on to which I reply below but can you tell me of any tie in please re the 1932 GURNEY/KNIBBS marriage. By the way, would you believe there were 3 Edith M KNIBBS who married in that year! > Just wondering if this means anything to anyone on the list? > > ""Registration # 001628-1907, Thomas John ABBOTT, 26, brass finisher, born > in > England, resident of Toronto, s/o Joseph J.

ABBOTT, bv > The most likely marriage is one 04qtr 1875 Wandsworth District. A check for a Joseph J ABBOTT in the GRO indices would confirm. The most likely birth is one for Jane NIBBS at Send [01 qtr 1850 Guildford District] in a family that can be traced back to Little Marlow from where William NIBBS the swing rioter hailed. Armed with that, I've just looked at the 1881 census and look what I found which looks pretty conclusive.
