John Bibby, I am so excited, this is the first time I have had a response on my Bibby Clan. How did you hear of the same story, George Adams Bibby, changing his name when he arrived in the U.S.? The names are correct, George Adams and Elizabeth Wilson are recorded as his parents in 1862, both deceased, living in the Parish Of Shotts, Lanark Co., Scotland. The Declaration of intent, recorded in Clearfield Co.,Pa. names Scotland as his birth place. His oldest son, George, died at Timely St., Sarkhall, Scot. in 1916. The othr children of Geo. and his wife,Catherine Dryburgh, remained here in Pa. Do you have any ideas how I can find out if the Thomas Bibby who died as early as 1856 in Wis. was connected somehow to my George Adams?? Sorry I took so long in replying, I have researched for many years but I am new to the computer and how to go about it. I didn't look on the correct listing for a reply. I can hardly believe that I had a reply. Thank you so much. Trish.

Surnames: Bibby/Bibbie/Bibbey, Adams Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/4300/CkD.2ACEB/122.1.2 Message Board Post: Hi David, I have come across this George Adams/Bibbie before. I have his parents as George Adams and Elizabeth Wilson. The story goes that he was raised by a family called Bibbie or Bibby in Lanrkshire, near Glasgow, Scotland. He used the name Adams in Scotland, all his children were born Adams, but for some reason he took the name Bibbie (with varying spellings) when he emigrated to the USA. Now Bibby, whatever the spelling, is a very uncommon name in Scotland. The only family I know of in Lanarkshire is that of Thomas Bibby, who lived there from at least 1823, although his origins were in Lancashire, England. Thomas had 2 wives, Margaret Blackwood who died in 1833 and then Janet Turnbull (or Trumble). There were 6 children in total, 2 of whom emigrated to Australia and 4 to Wisconsin, all in the 1850s and early 60s. Thomas died in 1856 on a visit to Wisconsin, but his widow lived on in Holytown until 1868. There is no proof that this is the family that “adopted” George Adams, but the dates and places fit. Don’t worry too much about the spelling of the name; things weren’t fixed in those days, especially seeing Scotland had (and still has) different spelling rules to England. One of the sons is on the ship’s list to Australia as “Bebbie”. I do not know if George had any genuine brothers or sisters, but I know of all his “adopted” Bibby siblings. You can find the stories of the Wisconsin ones at: www.rootsweb.com/~witrempe/genealogies/genealogies.htm Let me know if you want any more. John Bibby Wolverhampton, England

I cannot find any clue to when or where he was born, so he may have come from anywhere - alas he died before the first census and cannot find a burial!! His eldest child was called Willliam - this may be a clue to his father's name. Juliet

Surnames: BIBBEY Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/5538/CkD.2ACEB/122.1.1 Message Board Post: Hi to another Bibbey researcher also, :-) I never knew that Bibbey were in Scotland, as its not a scottish name. The name Bibbey comes from Leicestershire originally, so maybe they moved there over time. As Mine were in Lancashire and stoke on Trent, England. There seems to be loads of different ways to spell Bibbey, i have the original birth cert from 1880 which spells it with an "e" and continues with an "e" to this day. So I'm lucky in one way that they never changed the way they spelt it. I wish you good luck with yours, sorry I'm unable to help you, but you never know we may cross paths again with this surname and who knows there maybe a connection with ours one day :-)

He was b.1841,marr.1862 Parish of Shotts,Scotland,to Catherine Dryburgh,came to U.S. 1880,settled in Clearfield Co.Pa,died there in1904.

All his children lived in Pa.but oldest son, George, who went back to Scotland,lived there under the name of Adams. I have been unable to find George Bibby's parents or siblings. I don't believe he was related to the Bibbys in the southern states of the U.S. I have the children and grandchildren of George who came to Pa. but would appreciate any info.any Bibby researchers may have come across to connect my Scotland families. Thanks for your time and efforts. I will be happy to share this particular familiy's data.
