Re: Need Help Finding Kneale Ancestor

Unfortunately, I know nothing about my Wm Kneale's Manx roots. He was born Nov 1834 and also immigrated to Rochester, NY--in his case, in 1851. I can track his life in Rochester--I have him in US census reports from 1860/70/80/1900 (he died before 1910 census); I also have documents on his Civil War service and CW pension to his widow. He had only 1 child who lived to adulthood, his son, William Johnson Kneale, born about 1864 in Rochester, NY. I did do a search for Wm Kneales on LDS site and came up with one possibility. A Wm Kneale was baptized 20 Mar 1835 Saint Barnabas, Douglas, IOM, son of John and Margaret Kneale. But, not sure how to make the connection w/out knowledge of his parents names.
