Peter Bibby born 1876 in Pemberton and Emily Brown born 1876 Goose Green. They later moved to Barrow-in-Furness Cumbria where Peter died in 197. However, Emily lived until she was almost 100! Does anyone know these familes? Peter's father was James Bibby.

I have an Elizabeth Bibby born 1785 Wigan in my family tree. She could be some relation

Thanks Patrick, maybe she is related to the same Bibby's as mine. Peter Bibby in the photo is my Great Grandfather born in Orrell 1876. His father was James and his grandfather was also called James. I think they originally came from Standish. Joanne

I am looking for the Bibby family from Wigan around 1800 my grandfather Thomas Horrocks married a Mary Bibby in wigan in 1827 at St Johns Church. Can not find any body that knows about them in their family research. Would you know of these people. many thanks Arlene

Sorry Arlene, I have checked my family tree and don't have a Mary Bibby of that age, but maybe she is a relative, I don't know! Good luck! Joanne.

Hi, is Peter Bibby's father James Bibby born 1848 and his grandfather James Bibby (not sure of d.o.b) married to an Alice Bibby? My family tree starts to get a little fuzzy that far back. If it does match up then Peter's father James is my 2nd great grand uncle. Please reply if you have any information, I've hit a wall with my tree :)

Hi Kirsty
My family tree includes an Alice and James Bibby - they were my 3rd great grandparents
