Thanks Dianne,

I was wondering where the apparent ONLEY connection was with this large
KNEEBONE family in which I have an interest. By the way Henry KNEEBONE's
wife Annie was born EVANS, not JACKSON, as this extract from Henry's
autobiographical poem makes clear. The two names in the records had me
puzzled for a while.

Just then I came across my wife,
A little girl called Annie Evans.
She was a little orphan girl,
Foster mother's name was Jackson.
Her hair was white and all in curl,
And she was good in all her action.

If only all our ancestors had left behind autobiographical poems.
