Alan, I also found record of Emma Knibbs born in Balscott, Oxfordshire on 21 March 1824 and Linda Knibbs born in Balscott on 16 Sept 1825. Their parents were Thomas and Mary. I wonder if they might be two of the three children of the Thomas transported in 1829 mentioned in my previous message?

He was to be transported for 14 years. I do have a record of a Thoams KNIBBS bc1798, ploughman from Oxfordshire, who was transported for seven years having been sentenced on 29 July 1824 and who died at Paramatta NSW in 1856. Can anyone shed light on the 1829 convicted Thomas, who he was and where he ended his days? Presumably as it was the Old Bailey he came from the London area. 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?
