Tony, Welcome to the group...I saw Robyn's earlier reply to you but I regret that my lot are spelled KNIBBS and are from Deddington in Oxfordshire, but I know we have people with connections to KNIBB - including Alan Jackson himself who manages the list for us. His wife's maiden name is KNIBB. Wimbledon is one of the few things that Alan places higher on his list of priorities than researching the K/NIBB/S surnames. I have no doubt that he will be in touch with you as soon as he is able.

I didn't even notice Betty (and I typed Betsy, didn't I? I'm having a good day aren't I? lol) was a Knibb and not a Knibbs ... I swear I'm having more blonde/senior/Alzheimer's/motherhood moments than a woman deserves at my age!! ;D Take care, Rob.
