Title: Risbey family - County Durham
Post by: CanadianMcCubbin on Tuesday 12 November 13 01:04 GMT (UK)

My father was Eric Risbey, b 1910 in Harlepool, Co Durham to John Robert Risbey and Hannah Risbey (nee Gamble).  Dad immigrated to Canada in 1927, and his parents a bit later.  Several of Dad's siblings stayed in Co Durham, and several others also immigrated to Canada.  I've learned a lot, and do know that a generation or two earlier the Risbeys came from the Nailsworth area.

My daughter and I will be visiting Scotland/England for the first time in February.  I'd love to hear from any Risbeys in England (or Scotland?) who maybe I could connect with on the trip...and/or who I can learn more about our family's history from!

thanks
