Albert appears in the 1901 census aged 32, living at Beckenham in Kent, England. His name is given as Albert Knebbs, so clearly a mistake somewhere along the line.

Notes for Katherine HARRISON:

Also known as: Kate

I believe it is Katherine we can see at the 1880 census, living at Crossley Orphan Home & School, Savile Park, Skircoat, York, England. She was identified as an Orphan. There were 25 children registered at the orphanage, all aged between 13 and 16 years. There were no others with the same surname so I presume it was just Katherine from her family.

Notes for Wilfred Walter F H KNIBBS:

I wonder if it was this Wilfred who was working as an Assistant Steward on a ship named "Manitou" of the Atlantic Transport Lines, when it arrived in New York from London in July 1919.
