See Francis' Birth Certificate
__________

We can see Francis in 1841 living at what seems to be Ratcliffe Highway, in the borough of Tower Hamlett, Saint George, London, Middlesex:
Francis Knibbs 49 Victualler
Ann Knibbs 33
Edwin Knibbs 20
Isabella Knibbs 16
George Knibbs 13
Henry Knibbs 12(?)
Jane Knibbs 5
Francis Knibbs 3

The children Edwin, Isabella and George are from his first marriage to Mary. Jane and Frances are clearly from his second marriage to Ann. We believe Henry is probably Henry Theodore BURT, the son of his second wife from her first marriage.

Francis died on 12 April 1856, aged (according to his death certificate) 61 years. He was living at 3 St. George's Street.

Read Francis' Last Will and Testament

We know from the will of Mary's mother, Mary Soden who died in 1832, that one third of her estate was left to the children of Mary and her husband Francis Knibbs.
"To William Faulkner of Sesswells Barton and John Soden, the cottage, orchard and garden, occupied by myself and Richard Gardener, to be disposed of as soon as possible and the proceeds divided into three:-
- One third to my daughter Elizabeth Edwards of Middle Barton (widow)
- One third to my daughter Susanna, wife of Francis Padbury, a victualler of Oxford
- Remaining third to Francis Padbury to be invested and trust funds set up for the children of my late daughter Mary, wife of Francis Knibbs of Westminster, victualler, until they reach 21"

So clearly, Mary (Knibbs) Soden died before her mother.
