Joyce It looks as if you've come up trumps again. I'm sure this must be the elusive Henry KNIBBS and his marriage to Rispah MOORE. Their first child was born in October 1842. I don't suppose the witnesses names are to hand? They may just tell us something more to support my conjecture about Henry and his origins as part of Don's family. bfn Alan > I was at the library today going through film I had ordered to look up > information on my grandmothers side of the family when I came across a > Knibbs marriage.

Alan, The witnesses names are very hard to read. I think one of them is Michael M.Moore and the other is James ?? I could not read Michael's last name, however now that you have indicated Moore as a last name for the bride, it really appears that the witnesses last name is also Moore. In regards to Audrey Venables and her request to find a marriage for Florence Knibb. I looked at a couple of films but did not find anything so far. Some films have not arrived yet.
