John KNAPMAN married Mary Ann WAYCOTT 5 November 1822 in Bridford, west of Exeter.  They had the following children, all born in the Bridford/Dunsford area:

Mary Ann KNAPMAN (1822- )
James KNAPMAN (1825- )
John KNAPMAN (1828- )
William KNAPMAN (1830- )
Susanna Waycott KNAPMAN (1833- )
Samuel KNAPMAN (1835- )
George KNAPMAN (1838- )
Sarah KNAPMAN (1841- )
Maria KNAPMAN (1843- )


William Knapman (the one who went to Australia and started a brewery) was born 4 Dec 1830 in Dunsford, Devonshire, England and died 24 Jun 1908 in Port Adelaide, South Australia, Australia at age 77.

William married Charlotte Bowden about 1 Jan 1853. Charlotte was born about 1 Jan 1834 and died 30 May 1892 in Port Pirie, South Australia, Australia about age 58.

Children from this marriage were:

Mary Elizabeth Knapman born 18 Aug 1854 in Adelaide, South Australia, Australia.
   
William Henry Knapman born 3 Jun 1856 in Lefevre Peninsula, South Australia, Australia and died 24 Jul 1900 in Exeter, South Australia, Australia at age 44.

I don't know any more about John Knapman but he may well have had siblings in the Exeter area.  I have more details about the Australian family though.

Regards,
Maureen
