Thanks Claire. You are very kind going to all that trouble. 
However, I must tell you that as I'm doing a one-name study I already had this information.
I believe I now have every Bibby and it's variants from the 1841 census and every one from Lancashire Online Parish Clerks.
Also, I've almost finished the 1851 and 1881 censuses and I'm well on the way with the rest.
I met one of the descendants of this family many years ago when he came over from Australia.
I look forward to your further replies as I work my way through the censuses.
