Alan/Stuart Replying in-line... > I too had Beverley's and was most interested to read in her reply > that her grandfather met Arthur's in the dole queue. Actually, my grandfather met Arthur's father. > I had imagined that > Arthur had emigrated on his own but now we have another 'family' > to look for - however Arthur and Pamela had no children so I was told. Alan, e-mailing you separately as promised re Arthur's family. No children for A & P is correct. > You'll have noticed that Eric A B was born to Florence E, > presumably KELLY from the 1914 marriage. > I had picked up an obituary of Cecil's death from > the Sydney Herald.

No known connection for KNIBBS, (or KNIBB - at least at this stage). However, a few windows currently opening so may need to keep in mind as I piece things together. Alan... By the way, can you let me know how/where you picked up Sydney Morning Herald Obits? I looked up their website but was unable to see anything there... but then I've been known to search with blinkers on at times. <Hee Hee> > I'm also wondering if the Henry born to James & Ann could be hers > as she has a James, railroader, unaccounted for in later life. I'd have to say probably not. Living family here have no knowledge of any of my grandfather KNIBBS' siblings ever coming to "OZ". Remembering that my grandparents were first cousins, the only relatives to emigrate here (some years before 1926?) were my grandmother's widowed mother Flora Elizabeth DAVIES nee KNIBBS and some of my grandmother's siblings, some with spouse. However, I'm awaiting response from Pat Walker about whether her father knows if "our" James, railroader, remained all his life around Cardiff/Wales or perhaps moved elsewhere in England - let alone anywhere overseas such as Australia. If anything eventuates to the positive, then shall get back to you. > The Wilfred W F H death > is also a new one for me, so the hunt is on for Albert & Kate. Because the name with all initials sounded somewhat familiar, I checked some old hand copied names from NSW BDM on Fiche at the local FHC and found that I had transcribed a "Winifred" (instead of Wilfred) W F H KNIBBS death registered Hurstville 1931, same parents as noted by Stuart. Because I could well have copied in error, I shall re-check next time I get to the FHC. Internet site definitely has Wilfred as noted by Stuart.
