Hi there,
I am looking for Don Knibbs
Came across The Knibbs Family Tree web page while looking for a photo of 42 Varden Street.
In 1901 My grandfather and his family was living there sharing with 2 other households.
I think you will be interested.

One of the families was his widow Caroline with her 3 daughters. She was an Umbrella machinist.

More information is needed. Where are the Knibbs family from? What are their ages etc?

I'm unclear about what you're asking, Helena.

Is your post intended for Don Knibbs to read?
If so, he is highly unlikely to just happen to see your post.
Look for him on "Search all member trees", under "Search" at the top right of this page.
Among the search results is one of a Don Knibbs born 1947, with the tree owner's name "Don". I have no idea if that is the man you're looking for or not, but you could click on "Find out more" beside his name, and send him a message.


Or are you hoping for help from the helpers on the boards, with research into the Knibbs family?
If so, please give us what information you already have. There's no point in our telling you things you already know.

Helena

Try to make contact through the web page.

OR...................give some date and location info if you want help on this site.

Have you done anything about looking for names in other members' trees?

Unless Don Knibbs is a GR member who actively uses these boards, he isn't going to see your post
