I'm doing a Bibby one-name study and I will be happy to receive any birth, marriage or death parish record of any Bibby (or Bibbey, Biby etc) outside of Lancashire.
I don't need any census or any index info.
-
There was a teacher at Dr Challoners GS in Amersham, Bucks called Neil Bibby, back in the 1980's.
I know someone who may know his whereabouts now, if it is of interest.
-
If Neil Bibby is interested in discovering his ancestry I'm sure I could help him. If he already knows his ancestry then maybe we could assist each other.
Cheers

I have a Hannah E Bibby born in Leek Staffordshire in 1916 in my Tree.She married my relative Horace Perks in Biddulph Methodist Church in 1940.
Regards
William Russell Jones.
-
Thanks William. Do you know who Hannah's parents were?
Steve
-
Hannah E Bibby born in Leek in 1916 is given with a mother's maiden name of Machin.Her parents were almost certainly a David Bibby and an Alice Machin who married at Leek in 1907,in what is given on Staffordshire BMD as a "Civil Marriage".
Regards
William Russell Jones.
-
Thanks William. I'd just found it also on FreeBMD and Staffs BMD.
I have David's ancestors if you are interested.
-
Yes,I believe they were Matthew,Charles and possibly William born in Church Lawton Cheshire in 1796!
Regards

Hi i saw your website and this blog and thought i should email you. I have traced my great great nan Jemima Bibby who married Henry Finch they had 13 children and lived mostly in Essex. I was wondering if you may have any links you may be able to send me or any info gathered from your research?

Hi Jayne,
I have a few Jemima Bibbys but no Henry Finch.
Can you give me any dates for their marriage or for their children?
-
Hi thank you for coming back to me so quickly.
This is what i have so far;
Jemima Bibby born approx 1867 died 1966 married Hency (also known as Harry) Finch between 1880 to 1890 no official records their children with approx year of birth
Emily Finch - 1887
Ester Finch 1889
Mary finch - 1891
Edward - 1894
Elizabeth Betsey - 1896
Joseph - 1899
linda 1901
Samuel - 1901
Elvina - 1903
Francis (girl) 1905
Henry - 1907
William Ernest 1909
I know Jemima did move into a house eventually aginast her will, but i wanted to try trace Jemima's family or see if the children continued to live within the romany community or lke their mum moved into a house.

Hi,
I haven't got access to Ancestry at the moment. I assume you have got those details from the census.
Can you tell me where Jemima was born?
If they were travellers it's quite likely that they didn't get married. It's also possible that Jemima was previously married to a Bibby.

Not funny - Neil Bibby hanged himself in 2002:

I reckon that Jemima Finch nee Bibby is on the 1911 census at Chigwell, Essex with some of her children. (FamilySearch). The census says she was born at West Maldon, Kent which doesn't exist. So this would be Maldon, Essex which is close to where the Romany communities were.
Unfortunately I still cannot attach her to her parents as there are too many options and she doesn't seem to appear on earlier censuses. A birth record is required.
-
There also appears to be a Jemma Finch at Lambourne, Essex in 1901. This may also be Jemima.
This has now been confirmed to be her but no birthplace listed.
-
I have been informed that Henry and Jemima are on the 1891 census with surname Finde.
Jemima's age is given as 21 so I think that she was born in 1869 at Malling, Kent (FreeBMD) with the enumerator making an error in 1911 in saying that she was born in West Maldon, Kent.
So she could be the daughter of William Bibby and Rosetta Wright who don't appear to have married.

Hi Steve - I have a Bibby branch in my tree. I downloaded your gedcom (thanks!) and my people appear in your tree, but with slightly different details. What's the best way to share with you? Not sure if you can see my tree on Findmypast http://tree.findmypast.co.uk/#/trees/df9527e9-81c2-4f81-9e7d-a0371bf45599/1018588439/profile this is a link to the furthest back Bibby I have: James Bibby b1795 Great Horkesley, Essex. We both have James Bibby being married twice, but in your tree you have both wives maiden name being "Church". Do you have evidence of Harriet's surname? Do you know if the wives were related? Thanks so much for your time.
Best wishes
Lolly
Have today received Harriet and James Bibby's son Philip's birth certificate: Harriet was formerly a "Church" - so maybe James' two wives were sisters after all.

Hi Lolly. Welcome to Rootschat. :)
I cannot access your tree on findmypast. The best way to share is by email - stephenbibby (at) yahoo (dot) com
My info about the Church sisters(?) only came from my contacts on Rootschat. I have no verification so anything you can give me will be welcome. You can see all my sources on my database.
Cheers
Steve

I have a website -
https://sites.google.com/site/allaboutbibby/
From here you can download my Bibby database as a gedcom.
My database now contains all Bibby details extracted from -
1 The IGI (on FamilySearch)
2 All censuses 1841-1911
3 All Lancashire Online Parish Records
4 Many other sources
I am currently adding death details from FreeBMD and UKBMD

Apologize for necro'ing this thread...
I'm a new member here (first post!) and I just wanted to acknowledge the work you've put in on this one name study.
I went to the website and downloaded the ged file and then uploaded the tree into ancestry. I found that I've encountered your information before in hints pointing to other members' trees. I do find that you have my ancestral line in your compilation, so I plan to go through and see what sources and links you've compiled and compare that to what I have found over the last year.
In the short time I've spent thus far I do note that your research doesn't really go back any further than my own. I suppose that's just due to the availability of records from longer ago.
Anyways, thanks again for your work on this.
It is much appreciated!

Note to anyone looking for Steve's one name study for Bibby.
As of this post date, the website is not available. However, you can enter Steve's URL into the Wayback Machine to find archived copies of the website. By these means, one can still obtain a copy of Steve's gedcom file of compiled information on individuals named Bibby.
Cheers.

Hi there, firstly sorry if this is not an appropriate post and explain that I am a complete newbie to this site and also still in the early learning researching the family history. As the name Bibby seems your point of interest I am wondering if you have ever come across a Bibby as part of a forename.
I am researching a relative and have come across forenames .....Mary Ann Bibby , ....surname Carney from Liverpool on the GRO. I am still verifying any direct links to my line.
I thought it was an unusual forename especially to have a 2nd middle name and if this may perhaps mean the inclusions could indicate a link to a Bibby surname family connection. Many thanks
