    3. I've found a few details about Louisa KNIBBS who was one of my line, baptised at Swerford, Oxon on 14th October 1849, the daughter of Joseph and Elizabeth (nee WEBB). For the females of the line, I try to find details of their children whenever I can but tend to stop there. I knew that Louisa married to William WESTON on 12 Aug 1867 at Swerford and that they had two children baptised in Swerford, but that was all. I have learned a lot more from a lady called Carys McCarthy, the gggranddaughter of William Weston and Louisa Knibbs. I already knew that Louisa KNIBBS, the daughter of Joseph KNIBBS and Elizabeth (Webb) KNIBBS, married William Weston at Swerford on 12 Aug 1867. They appear to have had two children born in Duns Tew and baptised at Swerford. Mary Elizabeth was baptised on 17 Jan 1869, and George on 28 July 1872. At that point, I could find no other information on William, Louisa or their children at Swerford. I learned from Carys McCarthy that they reappear at Hook Norton which is the next adjacent village. I have checked the PR transcript for Hook Norton and can see the following: Baptism: 1873 Dec 7 Wilfred James WESTON (which is Carys ggrandfather) Burials: 1872 Oct 18 George WESTON aged 4 mths - baptised in Swerford 1874 May 10 Mary Elizabeth WESTON aged 5 years - baptised in Swerford 1919 Feb 5 William WESTON aged 76 years 1934 Apr 21 Louisa WESTON aged 84 years. Carys believe there were three other children, John b. 1871 at Chaccombe, Northants, Harry b. 1875 at Hook Norton and Lilian b. 1887 at Hook Norton, but I can see no record of them. So, for pure K/NIBB/S researchers, we have the burial date for Louisa KNIBBS as 21 Apr 1934. Don
