Notes for James KNIBBS:

I'm not sure of the reason, but it looks James and two of his siblings were living with their grandmother at the time of the 1841 census return:
WYATT Ann F 60 Independant
KNIBBS Elizabeth F 11
KNIBBS James M 6
KNIBBS Sarah F 3

I'm guessing that Ann Wyatt was their grandmother. They were all living at Burton Dassett, Warwickshire, England.
