Hi Harvey, I don't know if I can help but there are not many folks searching Bibby from Manchester so...how knows?
My England connection though, is still pretty vague. I live in the USA, so going to the churches and parishes around Manchester is only a dream at this point.
Anyway what I have is John Bibby and Elizabeth (Walker). John was baker. My best guess is they married (or maybe not..ooopp's) abt 1840 . They had at least 1 child that I can document, William Henry Bibby b: 1/23/1843 Market St, Manchester. William lived in Hulme, Manchester, ENG and married Mary Lord belived to be from Burnley (James Lord, father) 5/21/1869 at George Street Chapel, District of Chorlton, Lancaster. His marriage certificate reads that his father John Bibby was deceased by then, and his witness was a Mary Bibby (perhaps Aunt or Sister, but I don't know). That witnessing kind of implies that William's mother Elizabeth was either deceased as well, or went by the name Mary.
1881 census shows William and family at 2 Ormerod St. Newton (Heath). 4 children listed: George Frederick b: 5/17/1874 at Chorlton, Manchester, ENG, Florence M b:1870, Lilian b:1873 and William H.(jr)b: 1880.
It is possible that William Jr was married in the Manchester area to an Emily ? about 1900.
William and Mary's family came to Ontario Canada approx 1900, and settled in the Guelph, Toronto, and Burks Falls area. I've been able to pick up a lot of the trail from that point.
Any leads and tidbits are appreciated. I'm willing to share as well.
Best Regards,
Steve
