Joshua Bibby (son of George) was born in 1866 Crawshawbooth, Lancashire, England. He married Caroline Jenny Morley who was born Aug 8 1867 in Leyland, Lancashire, England. On Carolines' birth cert her parents are listed as Thomas Morley (Cowman) born 1834 and Jane Morley (formerly Blezard)born 1834. Thomas Morley died in March 1879, Bury. They had at least 8 children.

They had 3 children: Victoria Bibby 1887 Accrington Lancs N.K. Bibby 1891 Accrington Lancs Bertha Bibby 1892 They they moved to Rhode Island and arrived in the usa on Aug 14 1893. The only child they brought with them was Bertha. Presumably because she was an infant. The other two were left behind. Victoria was sent to her aunts and uncles. Harriet, John, Lily and Thomas Mangham. I do not know how these people fit, but Victoria stayed in Accrington with them. I cannot find any information regarding N.K. so I do not know what happened to her. Joshua and Caroline then had: George on Aug 12 1894 in Providence Rhode Island. Richard July 4 1896 William Feb 1 1900 Charles I have been unsuccessful in finding any birth records for any of them either in the USA or England. I know it is believed they were born on Rhode Island, but I have not been able to find any documentation except for George.
