Comments: Hello Annie, Just saying hello to let you know I belong in this vast crowd somewhere. I mostly use the HIBBETT spelling in my genealogy so I don't lose track. John Hibbett & Ann Tubbs are my 6th great grandparents. My G'father Ernest Branton Hibbett arrived in Oz at the age of 3 in Jan 1875, he was born in Derbyshire. He married his wife, Ellen Wood in Victoria, Oz, and had 5 children. He died on 1st Dec 1948 when I was 5yo. I am now nearly 72 with 2 children of my own, 4 beautiful granddaughters and lots of Hibbett cousins here in Oz. Keep up the great work. Lovely to peruse it all. Cheers, Dawn

Should anyone else who drops by be looking for family in Barleythorpe,Oakham,Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire I may be able to help. Thank you once again Annie.

Comments: Hello
We share a relation in Grace Smale (nee Martin). She is my great, great grandmother. Her daughter - Emily - married my great grandfather, Peter Ingram in 1913 and my grandfather William was born the following year. Emily died in 1948.
I am travelling up to Black Torrington for the day tomorrow: Sat 20/9/14 to see the village that the Horns sprung from. Researching my family has become addictive.
Comments: Hello. What an interesting website. My interest is in the Hibbett/Hibbitt name. My husband is descended from Henry Hibbett of Empingham, who moved from Rutland to York. His father was William, born in 1792. This has caused us some problems as there were two Williams born that year. One,who's parents were William and Elizabeth (William senior being a son of Matthew and Frances H). The other one being the son of Luke and Mary H - Luke being son of William H and Elizabeth Skillett. So we have a conundrum. However either way, they are all related, and all descend initially form John Ibbott and Ann Tubbs. So my husband is a distant relative of yours. Congratulations on a very interesting website.

Comments: I found your web site while looking for Jehoiada Dando. I think Jehoiada maybe my children's 4th great grandfather. Maurice Dando born 1848 emigrated to New Zealand in 1880. Maurice's father was Edward born 1812. Edward's father was Jehoiada and his mother was Lydia Bridgeman. I know from trying to read Jehoiada's will that he had a brother Joseph. I have not proved these details but I am wondering if any of this is familiar to you. Thank you for an excellent web site. Elaine
Admin reply: Hello Elaine. There is a definite connection to my family. I've sent you an email.
Comments: What a wonderful site you have! Thank you for all the information you have dug up on the Dando family. I'm related to Joseph Dando and Ann Murch. Their daughter,Louisa, married Charles James Metcalfe ( my great great grandparents) I have a lot of Metcalfe history after a visit to Bedfordshire last year, but knew little about the Dandos. Next time I'm in the UK I shall have to visit Bristol and Dursley. Best wishes, Ruth
