Bob, Many thanks for taking the time to look at Deddington and for passing the information on. I don't know for sure if I have a connection with the John Knibbs you found at Deddington - I don't seem to have a marriage to Cecelia. The best match I can come up with is John Frances Knibbs, b. Jan 1847 at Deddington, son of Frances Knibbs and Mary Ann Sykes. I have no details for him other than his baptism, so clearly, he must have moved off somewhere. I see that Cecelia is from Bucks so he could have moved there if indeed it is him. I also see that John and his son were iron ore miners so I'm also trying to figure out where Iron Ore was mined in those days - I wasn't aware of iron mining in Oxfordshire.
