........ the Black Sheep Index? The KNIBB there is Charles who died 1864, aged 40, in Liverpool by falling downstairs when inebriated. Interestingly I have him baptised as Charles Bartholomew NIBBS in Spalding, Lincs and think there is an Oundle connection. He was a bookeeper and had just lost his job as a result of his drinking habits, according to the press report. Now who wishes to claim him? I have quite a few relatives in the database to go with him! Not you, Rose Marie, as far as I can tell - enjoyed the weekend chat. The 'KNIBBS' on the Police Index was a PC in Portsmouth in 1905 who made a capture it seems but I'm not intending to fork out the required £6 fee to find out more about that event. Probably little genealogical info anyway. ........ the WW1 in memoriam listing on the website? Henry R KNIBBS and James Frederick KNIBBS can now be linked to Hilda ELLIOTT who has contacted Don and whose family has been traced back to Woodstock. I've just been contacted by an American KNIBB whose grandfather fought in WW1 in the British army it seems. Hopefully will have something to report next week. I've an inkling that another war victim is related. ........ my French pote KNIBB/S finder He has found me a researcher looking for KNIBBS in Oxfordshire, so will Don's tree in the database soon reach the 1,200 mark. Awaiting contact. ....... Ron HANDS' lost address? Sorry George, I meant you not Dennis KNIBBS. I eventually found a letter from Ron in my archives and, yes Sioux, it was one of those you found for me. Hope the KNIBB Stoke Goldington family grouping was of some use. ....... those Buckingham/Brackley KNIBBS kindly submitted by Richard KNIBBS? Well I found some more info for Chris than I posted and can share off-list with anybody else related. Roll on 1901 census for Qainton KNIBB/S. ........ the Broadmead Baptist Church article re William KNIBB? I mentioned it here a while ago and put a link on the website. Marsha trying to drum up support for a bicentenary remembrance in the States spotted that my link was to the wrong Broadmead church! Oops!! Now corrected. ........ To be, or not to be Not one of mine. But take a look see at http://members.aol.com/lolathrop/roman/iv.html for a most interesting article about the figure IV on a clockface, with a picture of one of Joseph KNIBB's to boot. ....... the 5th of November? Any sheep tupped then will be lambing on 1st April. I kid you not!! But I've lost the plot, so will light the blue touch-paper and retire. 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?

Alan, Your notes are always so interesting. Don had mentioned Hilda to me -- being from Woodstock we are most likely in the same branch or close. About "tupped" -- what an interesting word -- so is the ewe always so accomodating to drop lambs on the exact date? I think medical science ought to get on that as I know it's a trick I'd have liked to know.
