CHEWs around 1700: my brick wall

[KNIBBetc]

Surely John KNIBB's burial must be Jun 1825 if I have the correct date of his Will as 29 Mar 1825. His age would then indeed be 67.

I had his baptism as 25th not 26th Apr 1758.

Thanks Sandy, glad to have that cleared up, and I will send Alan a copy of the image from the parish register (John KNIBB/Lucy BELLAMY, 13 Nov 1785).

Some further data and one or two further corrections:

Lucy KNIBB: (1) baptized 12 Sep 1786 NOT 18 Sep 1786.
(2)  died 13 Nov 1826 and buried 13 Nov 1826 NOT 16 Nov 1826 (dates are from the headstone at Polebrook, but register says buried 13 Nov aged 40). Her age is also given on the headstone, but illegible when I looked at it years ago -- now given the further information it might be possible to make it out.
(3) married William BELLAMY 12 Oct 1772.

Thomas KNIBB: buried 5 March 1788, presumably less than a year old.

Rebecca BELLAMY wife of William BELLAMY died 12 Dec 1799.

Further Polebrook baptisms:
26/12/1745 Lucy daughter of John and Prudence ROWELL
25/4/1747 William son of Adam and Mary BELLAMY
25/4/1758 John son of Thomas and Alice KNIBBS

Further Polebrook burials:
2/2/1805 Rebecca BELLAMY wife of William BELLAMY
12/3/1814 Mrs Alice KNIBB, Armston, aged 68
19/6/1823 John KNIBB aged 67

Hope all this helps and that I haven't made further slips in transcribing

I'm doing this all at second hand -- I'll put those points (which seem entirely reasonable, I must say) to my informant.

Have now sent you further images from the Polebrook registers.  If you're willing to let us know what you make of them in this forum, that would be appreciated!
