Find Ancestors

I am trying to add to my family tree, I have gone as far back to
Richard Bibby B. 25 Feb 1805 in Calton, Lancashire, D. Mar 1878.
He married Ann walker in Clapton, Yorkshire, 29 Dec 1827

so what are you now trying to find out???

Could this be his baptism????

Is Caton a mis-spelling of Calton????

Thankyou for what you have given. I do not know much about the family at this stage other then what my Dad has given me. Richard Bibby and Ann Walker are my Great Great Great Great Grandparents. They have 4 Children John Bibby B.1829, Richard Walker Bibby B.1832, Edward Bibby B.1835 and Sarah Bibby B.1838. I would Like to find further relatives to add to our Family tree. My Dad said at least family member had something to do with a shipping company in England

Hi Gayle,

Welcome to the boards.

Have you tried "Search The Trees" to see if any other members have your family in there trees?

Click on "Search" in the top right hand corner. If you find any connections, you can contact the tree owners by sending them a message on here.

Have you worked out what happened to Richard and Ann's children?

If you haven't..........we may be able to help you out with that. :-)

Hello Gayle Marie, re: your dad's claim about a shipping company connection - the Bibby Line is a very large shipping company. Best way to find out about things like that is Google, Google, Google! That's how I found this link all about the founding of the Bibby Line http://www.oceanlinermuseum.co.uk/Bibby%20Line%20history.html

It also gives a lot of info about the founder's family.

What now needs to be established is the connection of the founder John Bibby mentioned in the article to your direct line.

According to the 1851, Richard's birthplace was Caton, not Calton:

Actually, Mike, I thing there must have been two John and Ann Bibby's in Caton at the same time:

Richard b 23 Feb 1805 to one couple and Mary b 23 Mar 1805 to the other.
