HI, I'm Harold Redmayne Knipe's grandaughter. 
Harold passed away before I was born but Violet (my grandmother) stayed with us until 1986.  Harold and Violet had 2 children, Frederick Alan Knipe (who has sadly passed away) and my mother - Margaret Jean Knipe.

I was intrigued to find your search, please feel free to enlighten me into any additional family members as I have recently decided to research my family tree.

Hi Abergirl,
 I have put some additional information in that message you can't access yet, including contact details.

To put things into a bit of context for you, the Australian Branch of the family started with William Batty Knipe  (1823-1903).  He was the son of the Christopher Knipe.  Christopher was the brother of William Redmayne Knipe, the line your family is descended from.  I believe William Batty Knipe spent some time with William Redmayne Knipe in Liverpool before coming to Australia.

The family came from Kendal and are connected the Batty family (Inghamites), William Bowness (the artist)  and the Lough family (printers and confectioners).

We will be in Kendal in September, so hope to dig up a bit more infomation.

Cheers

Kevin
