Sarah Georgina Knibbs' son was baptised George Knibbs (not Turvey) on December 20 1896.
Sarah & Albert Turvey married one month before George was born.

__________

Witnesses to the marriage were Laura Turvey and Albert Knibbs, probably Albert's sister and Sarah's brother.

Albert and Sarah were listed as "full age" bachelor and spinster with Albert from the Brackley parish and Sarah from Swerford.

Banns were read in October 1896.

The marriage record states that Albert's father was John Turvey, a labourer. However, I can see no John Turvey in Brackley in 1881 or 1901, neither can I see an Albert Turvey in Brackley in 1881 with a father named John. However, it was pointed out to me that there is a John Turvey living at Brackley St Peter, Northampton in 1881. He has a son name Willie, so one theory is that Albert William Turvey was called Willie or William within the family.

Checking within the GRO records available at Ancestry.com, I was able to find a record of the birth of Albert William Turvey at Brackley, so that supports the theory that Willie and Albert William are the same person.

The other interesting fact is that this John Turvey also had a daughter named Laura - we know from the marriage records that the marriage between Albert Turvey and Sarah was witnessed by Laura Turvey.

If that is correct, then Albert's family appears as the following in 1881:
John TURVEY Head M Male 39 Whitfield, Northampton, Laborer
Ester TURVEY Wife M Female 34 Falcott, Northampton
James Hy.TURVEY Son Male 14 Brackley, Northampton
Sarah Elizh. TURVEY Daur Female 10 Brackley, Northampton
Laura TURVEY Daur Female 8 Brackley, Northampton
Willie TURVEY Son Male 4 Brackley, Northampton
John TURVEY Son Male 11 m Brackley, Northampton
__________

We see the family again in 1891, living at Brackley, Northamptonshire:
John Turvey Head Mar 30 General Labourer Northamptonshire
Esther Turvery Mar 44 Laundress Northamptonshire
William Turvey Son 14 Agricultural Labourer Northamptonshire
Elizabeth Turvey Daur 21 Northamptonshire
Laura Turvey Daur 19 General Servant Northamptonshire
John Turvey Son 11 Northamptonshire
__________

Albert married Sarah Knibbs Rose in 1896.
__________

We can also see Albert with his wife and children living at Albert Road, Brackley, Northants at the 1901 census. The name has been transcribed incorrectly as Tuney:
Albert W Turvey Head M 24 Drayman Brewery Norths Brackley
Sarah Turvey Wife M 27 Swerford
Dorothy Turvey Daur 3 Norths Brackley
Eva Turvey Daur 1 Norths Brackley

Sarah's son George Knibbs then aged 4 years was living in Hook Norton, Oxfordshire at the 1901 census. He was living with his great-aunt Louisa Knibbs and her husband William Weston.
__________

We can see Albert and his family in 1911, living at Banbury Road, Brackley, Northamptonshire:
William Turvey Head Married (14 Years) 33 Brewers Carter Brackley Northants
Sarah Turvey Wife Married (14 years) 36 Surrey Ford Oxon
Dorothy Turvey Daur 13 School Northants Brackley
Eva Turvey Daur 11 northants Brackley
Gladys Turvey Daur 2 Northants Brackley

Sarah's son George Knibbs could be seen living at Great Tew, Oxfordshire with Sarah's dad, Humphrey Knibbs and his second wife. Sarah's place of birth is wrongly transcribed - she was born in Swerford.
__________

Albert was 53 when he died.

Born to her parents Humphrey Knibbs and Eliza Rose out of wedlock. She was registered as Sarah Georgina ROSE and given the Christian name of Knibbs when she was baptised. Humphrey and Eliza eventually married, 15 months after Sara was born.
Sarah's name was given as Sarah Georgina KNIBBS when she married to Albert Turvey in 1896.

George was conceived out of wedlock but baptised one month before his mother Sarah married Albert Turvey. George was baptised as George Knibbs. I believe it was quite possibly this George's birth which was recorded at the GRO as George ROSE, during Oct-Dec 1896 in the Chipping Norton District of Oxfordshire (which includes the village of Swerford where he was baptised).
__________

George is listed as aged 4 years, living in the Civil Parish of Hook Norton, Oxfordshire at the 1901 census. He appears to be living with his great-aunt Louisa Knibbs and her husband William Weston. His parents were living at Brackley, Northamptonshire with their daughters Dorothy and Eva.
__________

In 1911, he can be seen living with his grandparents at Great Tew, Enstone with his wife and grandson:
Humphrey Knibbs Head Mar 66 Roadman Labourer Swerford Enstone Oxon
Elizabeth Knibbs Wife Mar (5 years) 55 Great Tew Enstone Oxon
George Knibbs Grandson 14 Farm Labourer Swerford Oxon
___________

George was killed in action during the Great War at Gallipoli on Wednesday 8th November 1916. We know from the Commonwealth War Graves Commission that a George Herbert KNIBBS, born in Swerford, Oxfordshire, England was killed on this day, and the records show that the only George Knibbs born at Swerford who could have been killed in the Great War was this George, son of Sarah Georgina Rose Knibbs.
