Hi Bridget,
I notice that amongst the children of John Thomas NIBBS Jnr, you have a son Edwin Richard. I have only just discovered the movement of my line from Oxfordshire into London, and one of the prominent Christian names of this particular family was Edwin.
I have a Francis KNIBBS living at Islington, London in 1852. He had three sons, each with Edwin as a Christian name. There was Edwin George (b1821), George Edwin (b1823) and finally George Edwin Clark KNIBBS(b1828). He had a fourth son Francis Edward but by a different wife.
Edwin George went on to marry an Elizabeth OMAN and had a son called Edwin William, bap. in Stepney London in 1844.
These were the first appearance I've come across of Edwin as a Christian name in the KNIBBS families I've investigated. It certainly meant a lot to Francis and his first wife to have given it to all three of their sons. Given that it appears in your line also, I wonder if there is a link between our data somewhere in London in the mid-1800's?
Don
