I've just posted a 5 generation photograph onto the Yahoo KNIBB Group of James KNIBBS b.1828 at Clifton, Oxfordshire, England. On the reverse side of the photo is written: "5 generations taken May 8th 1908. Mr James Knibbs of Unionville, Conn, aged 78 years his daughter Mrs ?. A. Root of Southington Conn aged 56 years her daughter Mrs John Habershon(?) of So. Meriden Conn, aged 34 yrs her daughter Mrs Archie Young of So. Meriden Conn, aged 17 yrs her son Archie Arthur Young, aged, 6 months" James KNIBBS was my Grandfather's uncle. He emigrated to the USA and settled in Connecticut in the mid-1850's. KNIBBS families continue to live in that same area today, within just a few miles from where James originally settled. I am extremely lucky to have got hold of this photograph. It turned up in a pile of old picture postcards. A man named Leo Whelan purchased a batch of 4,000 picture postcards at auction in the USA. When he was sorting through them he found the photograph, spotted the name KNIBBS on the reverse, and a quick search on the internet pointed him in my direction. He emailed me with a couple of the names from the reverse of the photograph and offered to sell it to me. The surname ROOT certainly rang bells. James' son John married a girl named Florence ROOT, but she would be Mrs KNIBBS, not Mrs ROOT as written on the photograph. James's son John did however live in Unionville. I was convinced - and with the help of John KNIBBS in Connecticut I've now got hold of the photo. The ages of the people recorded on the reverse have helped to give me a good idea of who they are: James is indeed James born 1828 at Clifton, Oxfordshire, England Mrs Root is his daughter Ann, born 1852 at Clifton also. She was previously married to Elija Roberts who died in 1898. I wasn't aware that she had remarried a man named Root. Mrs John Habershon is her daughter Minnie Roberts b. 1873 from the previous marriage. Mrs Archie Young and her son Archie Young are new additions to my data. There's a little digging to do with regard to ROOT, HABERSHON and YOUNG, but nevertheless, I feel very lucky to have got hold of the photograph. Don
