I am researching the Ibbotson family in Grimsby 1900 to present day, particularly looking for Alfred E Ibbotson born c 1909, served in the Navy in WW2. Any help gratefully received.

Hi Sue
Yes, Rowlie's grandfather (George Coverdale) married my grandmother on my mother's side (Florence Smith/Beecham/Seed) in the early 1940s. Incidentally, I see you have relatives from Caistor - my grandmother on my father's side was from Caistor - her name was Layton.
Thanks for trying!
Regards
Ruth

Hi David
Many thanks for your reply. I'm not sure that there's any connection because my Ibbotsons were originally from Bedford, and then some of them moved to Grimsby. My father (George William Ibbotson) was born there in 1903, and I was born there in 1947. I would love there to be a connection, but I don't think there is, unless you know differently of course.
Kind regards
Ruth

Hi David
My dad's family (father and four brothers) were all involved in the fishing industry, although my dad was a local government officer, and we moved to Bristol in 1956. Unfortunately, there are no members of that generation left for me to ask questions, and no shared history with my own generation.
Thanks for your reply.
Best wishes
Ruth
PS I've just remembered that there was also some sort of theatrical link in the Ibbotson family, I think in my grandfather's generation!
