William Casemore Knibbs

[Shogmoor]

I have put this out in the hope someone else may be chasing the same name. William Casemore Knibbs was born in Quainton, England in 1863. He married Sarah Elizabeth Hunter in Queensland on 10th February 1888. I have found them on several census returns. I have been told - but cannot confirm - that they had a child Queenie Elizabth in 1898 who went on to marry Alfred J. Passmore. They also had a son called James, but have no dates. I cannot find out much more about them.

On the Index there is no "S" on the end of Williams name it is shown as KNIBB.
Marriage Ref # 1888   C1685 The "C" is all areas outside of Brisbane.

The only child to the couple on the index is Queenie and her full name on the INDEX is
Queenie Isabella Ref # C11617. This is up to 1916. She was born 7th June 1898.

The following shows marriages in Queensland only for the Surname KNIBB up to the extent of the indexes in 1941. I won't post names as many could still be alive.
