Yes - but it depends where you look for information:
Crockford's Directory for 1959-60 agrees with you, also giving
Gregg's middle name as Samuel; Alexander was Archbishop until 1911.
However, the latest edition of Crockford (2000-01) gives Knox as
"Robert Bentknox" - ???

Probably the best place for a definitive answer would be the Church
of Ireland Archives, Representative Church Body Library, Braemor
Park, Churchtown, Dublin 14.
