>________________________________ > >Hi Les, >Happy New Year to you as well! >You can find a few more marriages at my Derbyshire Marriage Index 1538-1837 at http://www.derbysmarriages1538-1837.co.uk/ . Enter either Hib in the search name to get all marriages with the surname beginning with Hib or Hibbe and Hibba or variations on that theme. The name is quite widespread and they were in Derbyshire long before the 1730s. You can search under the bride's surname as well. A list of parishes that are in the computerised part of the index are also on there as well as those that are indexed but not yet on computer - you have to ask me for those! >Hope this helps, >Sue >Message: 2 >Date: Sun, 13 Jan 2013 12:11:09 +1100 >From: "Len Heyward" <lhe6246@bigpond.com> >Subject: [DBY] HIBBERT/HIBBERD >To: <derbysgen@rootsweb.com> >Message-ID: <000001cdf12a$df250c40$9d6f24c0$@com> >Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" > >A happy new year listers. > >For some time now I have been keeping a close watch on Mike Spencer's very >valuable lists of burials, etc., looking for some references to my >HIBBERT/HIBBERD familes, sadly without success. > >The HIBBERT/HIBBERD family were generally residing or centred on Edensor >from at least 1755 until later than 1881.
