My Kneale family is from the Lezayre & Jurby area in the North. They immigrated about 1840 to Rochester, New York to build an aquaduct (now defunct). There was a William born 1811. What part of New York did they settle in?
Your William & my ancester are not the same person, but may be cousins or uncles.
You need some dates or marriage names to connect with other families. William Kneale is a fairly common name on the island (especially in the North).
Good luck!
