Re: Kneale family tree
In Response To: Re: Kneale family tree ()

My great grandmother Jane Lillies Johnson was the daughter of Jane Kneale and her husband Thomas Johnson (from Wales). Jane Kneale's parents were Kneales from Regaby in IOM. My mother visited the farm some years ago. She said there was a plate over the door with the names 'John and (she cannot remember) Kneale'. The family were Quakers and I remember my great grandmother quite well she was quite short tempered and I thought she didn't like little girls! She wore a typical quaker black dress and black boots. She still talked like a Quaker when I knew her although she had by that time lived in Millom, Cumberland, for many years. Anyone with information about the Kneales from the Isle of Man please email me as I am trying to piece together the little info I have. Caroline K.
