...it better not pour tomorrow because we're at Wimbledon. In search of any K/NIBB/S from Derbyshire? Well not there but I wonder if either of the sportsmen mentioned recently are descendants of one family I've just linked together. Please remind me John, who did we find last year from your Northants family within a Derbyshire branch of KNIBBS? An Edith born c1901, I was told, was a Tiller girl who married and died young. Well I've sussed that she was Agnes Edith born 04qtr1903 Wolstanton District, distant from where the rest of the family were born, both before and after that date. Interestingly, a Thomas Norman KNIBBS was also born in the same District and it was his roots that I was researching, prompted by another genesreunited contact. He also fits neatly into the gap alongside Agnes Edith, so the Northants/Derbyshire tree has grown somewhat in size as there are a fair number of descendants of Thomas. And can we 'place' the following from a recent Australian newspaper report: "PROCESS and Control Engineering’s inaugural PACE Zenith Awards 2004 initiative has surpassed all expectations, both in terms of the quality of the competition and the high calibre of attendees at the awards ceremony, which was held in Sydney on 2 June. Present: Jeremy Knibbs, Chief Executive Officer of Reed Business Information" He could well be husband of a Margaret Louisa who I have within the database. Any claimants? We won't be seeing 'Bat Boy' at Wimbledon, notwithstanding the name. We saw him last night on stage in Leeds in the way-out musical from America. Wow! Then we came home to watch a recording of 'wonder boy' ROONEY scoring another two goals in Euro 2004 - that's a football competition for the benefit of overseas listers. England are through to the quarter finals and now play hosts Portugal. It's all happening. bfn Alan Alan Jackson Host at The K/NIBB/S One Name Study & Mailing List Website address http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~knibbetc Did you know?
