FamilySearch shows William Presby and wife Hannah living at Ashley St, West Derby, Liverpool in 1861. I strongly suspect Presby is Bibby and Ashley St is Ashby St.
Is the writing not clear?

I think you're right - although the "i" has not been dotted. And the street is Ashley Street - the Enumerator loops "l" but not "b".
Ancestry, by the way, have transcribed the surname as "Bobby" :)

Looking at the image I would agree. Tried to post an image with this reply but one of the boards that doesn't have this facility

Added -F M P transcribes William as Bibby but his wife and daughter as Presby

That clinches it for me.
Thank you :)
