Thanks to you both for the quick response, the death certificate information links him with the data that I already have, and places him in my tree.

Canada Lookup Request / Roland H Dibnah, RCAF
« on: Monday 27 August 18 16:32 BST (UK) »
I'm hoping someone can help me with Roland Dibnah of Winnipeg, who was a Flight Lieutenant in the RCAF based in the UK during WW2. He married Frances Younghusband in 1945, and they returned to Winnipeg after the war. A son was born in 1949.
A separate record notes 19-yr old Roland Harold Dibnah (a printer) arrived in Liverpool from Quebec in May 1939 on the SS Athenia. I am cautiously connecting these two people.
My interest is in tracing his ancestors, to discover how the name crossed the Atlantic, and when.
TIA, Peter

Yes, I have the certificate. They married at the Great Alie Street Synagogue, Whitechapel. Sadly it merely notes Morris's father as Harris B Dibnah (who appears nowhere else that I can see in on-line records), with no profession noted. Similarly with his new wife.

Thanks to all for the quick and helpful responses.
These open up some more avenues to explore, and offer yet more potential alternative spellings for Dibnah.
I remain challenged to link Dibnahs, who are almost exclusively clustered in the East Riding of Yorkshire, suddenly appearing in Russia (with no logical antecedents) and then cropping up in what looks like a Jewish community in the East End.......!
Again, many thanks. Peter

Other Countries / Russia - Dibnah
« on: Sunday 02 April 17 14:59 BST (UK) »
I am trying to trace ancestors of Morris Dibnah. In the 1911 census, he was living in Batty Street, St Georges in the East, with wife Esther, daughters Leah, Becky and Rosy, and son Sammy. He is noted as born c1870 in Russia. Esther and Leah are also born Russia (1872 and 1893 respectively). The remaining children were born in London, from 1899 onwards. Indications are that he was a bootmaker.
I have some subsequent information on both him and his family, but am struggling to find any information earlier than the 1911 census.
Any help gratefully appreciated. [I have also posted this on the London & Middlesex board]

I fear I may be responsible for the tree that has Mary as Mary Beeson. Returning to it now, several years later, I can find no evidence to support it - I suspect I jumped to an enthusiastic and erroneous conclusion given that Rose Beeson was the informant. Apologies to all.
For context, Robert and Rosetta are my wife's 2x great grandparents.
