Hello Everyone, I am a new subscriber to this list. Joseph Bibby born 1805 in Over Wyresdale, Lancashire, England was the son of Edward Bibby and Ellen Whiteside. Edward Bibby, born 1779 Ellel near Lancaster, was the brother of my great great great grandfather John Bibby, born 1777 Ellel. Edward was the best man at John's wedding. They were the sons of James Bibby and Elizabeth Askew. If there are any descendants of Joseph Bibby on this list, I would like to hear from them. Regards, Anne (nee Bibby) in Lancashire, England.

Is there somewhere you can go to see the clan colors and plaids for the Scottish? Thanks. Pam ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com
