Alan, Thanks for the reply. I have her down as a KNIBBS from the PR, but I may well have added the "S" by mistake - I notice that one of the witnesses was Richard KNIBB (without the "S") and this could well have been her father so I suspect you're right. Her age is given as 27 years, but I not that her husband is given as 26 so maybe she fibbed a little. I know of two such situations in living memory but that's another story which I may well share with the list one day! I'll pass on the info to Sue TYDD and ask her to contact you.
