Notes for Henry Robert KNIBBS:
Also known as: /Harry/I believe Harry is the same as Henry as he is listed in the 1901 census return.

A family story told by Henry was that one of his brothers was drowned and he was blamed for it. He was collecting him from school and they were playing with a paper aeroplane when his brother fell into the canal. We believe this will have been his younger brother Ernest who died aged about 4 years.

I was told by Ann Rosalind (Knibbs) Mann, his granddaughter, that in his latter years Henry always loved to visit a farm in Ryton and would go to the Barras Market on a Monday to collect the old vegetables for the cattle. He drove an old Austin Cambridge right up until the latter half of 1987 when it was no longer road worthy. It was after that time he seemed to give up on life.
As a child Ann used to go to Rugby market with him on a Monday. He kept pigs at Brandon until he suffered a serious bout of shingles and during this illness, he sadly lost them all to swine fever.
