At first I thought there may be a connection with Don's Edward and Fanny BERRY. They were a canal boat family and had a Henry bc1839. However, I now incline towards the family shown below to whom I've added the Henry found by Bob. Whereas his birth District was Daventry, boat people moved around a lot and he may well have been born in Warwick - see siblings birthplaces. Braunston was in the Daventry District. There is a website for boat people which was mentioned here some long time ago. Looking at the names, I can well imagine a connection with Edward and Fanny, although Thomas and Martha BARFOOT married in London. So Bob, you might have found one of yours anyway. bfn Alan Henry KNIBBS Born 4Qtr1843 London Baptised 19May1844 Saint Mary-St. Marylebone Road Died Buried Occupation Captain of a boat / Hemel Hempstead 1881 Father Thomas KNIBBS Mother Martha BARFOOT Married 4Nov1872 Sparkbrook Warwicks Rosannah DIMMOCK Born c1854 Stoke Prior Worcs Baptised Died 1Qtr1903 Buried Occupation Father Mother Children ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Thomas Henry KNIBBS Born 2Qtr1874 Ratford Warwicks Baptised Died Buried Occupation Edward KNIBBS Born 2Qtr1876 Braunston Baptised Died 2Qtr1941 Buried Occupation Fanny KNIBBS Born 2Qtr1877 Braunston Baptised Died Buried Occupation William KNIBBS Born 24Nov1879 Braunston Baptised Died 2Qtr1969 Buried Occupation Henry KNIBBS Born 3Qtr1882 Warwick [Daventry District] Baptised Died Buried Occupation James Arthur KNIBBS Born 19Mar1885 Braunston Baptised Died 4Qtr1963 Buried Occupation Cross Lane Braunston later Iselworth Spouse Olive STOKES Plus Sarah Ann b 1886? & brother Thomas? and ??
