Don I have her in the database as Mary Ann KNIBB and that was the name under which she appears in the GRO but her age if 27 throws me a bit as I reckon she was older than that having been born in 1841, although not baptised until 1848 which might have led to some confusion. Perhaps you could ask Sue TYDD to contact me off-list to resolve some issues. If I have the correct family thay came from Bodicote but various generations appear in records as KNIBB/S and their age are contradictory in them and in censuses. Richard was indeed the father and I can get back to a John bc1781 a Labourer/Carrier who died aged 45 at Bodicote. So can anyone place/claim a John KNIBB/S born then? A brother of Mary Ann was with Thomas ANTHISTLE in 1881. bfn Alan > Does anyone have a connection to the Mary Ann KNIBBS who married to Thomas > ANTHISTLE at Banbury on 29 December 1873, please?
