She mentioned the two lines of the Bibbys of Wyresdale, descended from John and James, the sons of John Bibby (1656-1729) of the famous will. You are one of the few people who are descended from both lines of the family, as follows: James Bibby (d 1758) m. Elizabeth Brewer (d1764) James Bibby (b 1737) m. Catherine Metcalfe (1740-1814) Elizabeth Bibby (1770-1855) m. Abraham Swindlehurst (1769-1848) William Swindlehurst (1796-1886) m. Mary Bibby (below) John Bibby (1684-1739) m. Margaret Townley (d, 1767) James Bibby (1725-1797) m. Sarah Ward (1728-1805) Joshua Bibby (1770-1858) m. Janet Simpson (1773-1826) Mary Bibby (1794-1840) m. William Swindlehurst A few years ago I was in contact with your uncle Noel Dodd. He has a lot of information on the family including what I sent him. I can let you have a Gedcom of the whole Bibby tree (over 3000 people), if you have genealogy software that can read it. Do keep in touch, I am sure we can supply each other with a lot of information. John Bibby, Wolverhampton, England
