Re: John & Margaret Kneen parents of George Kneen

Hi Jean I now have George's 1882 Australian Marriage Certificate. It is showing his name as KNEER rather than KNEEN so here are the details. In 1882 he is 31, a fit with George KNEEN's Braddan baptism and the 1851 and 1861 census where Margaret Brian and then Kneen is head of the household. George is a widower, a fireman, his father is recorded as John KNEER and his mother as Margaret (no surname). I notice there is a George Kneen married in Braddan in 1868 to Mira Cain but can't find any details of baptism, burial or offspring. Can Mira possibly be Maria Cain or was there a George Kneer, son of John Kneer? I have found no records in Australia of the death of a George or Annie Kneer just Kneen. Hoping you can assist.
