Re: Need Help Finding Kneale Ancestor

I'd be more inclined to look at William Kneale 2nd son of Thomas & Catherine Kelly of Bride (in 1851 farms 24 acres - in 1841 index appears as family of 5 young children - by 1851 can find Thomas snr apparently a widow (presume Catherine b. sept 1845) the rest of the family but no William - many from Bride and North had emigrated so there would almost certainly have been family to support him and as 2nd son he wouldn't have inherited much.
