Staffordshire / Re: Joseph (Jumping Jack) DARBY.
« on: Monday 23 August 10 20:39 BST (UK) »
I googled my Great Grandfathers name and found this site.I thought this may be of interest to you. My mother is daughter to Joe Darbys daughter Lily. I have read previous information that has been given to you and can confirm that my Great Grandad Darby had children which were my Great Aunty Flo Vi Norah Dolly(Dorothy)Uncle Joe and my Granma (Lily)
The names Thomas and Minnie would have been descendants of my Great Grandfathers brothers. If you would like to know any more info I am sure that my mother would be pleased to be able to help you from her memory. I have sat on many an occasion with fascination and listened to her talk of him his travels all those years ago and meeting royalty. I have learnt that he was a very proud but private family man. My mother was asked to open the Joe Darby public house which she did . That was approximately 15 years ago.
