HI

I am looking for Annie nee Tubb who emigrated to New Zealand after the second world war. All we know is that her husband was either australian or from NZ and was a POW who was then released and went back home and sent for his wife.  its a long shot but do you know of them?

Thanks

Sorry Cathy, my Tubbs are way back in my family in the early stages.

I am looking for anyone who has a connection with:
John Tubb who married Susannah Bedford - their children were:
John Tubb b. 1740 Lambourne, Berkshire
Ann Tubb b. 1746 Lambourne, Berkshire
Thomas Tubb b. 1748 Lambourne, Berkshire
Richard Tubb b. 1755 Lambourne, Berkshire

Hi Reggie

I'm descended from Hannah TUBB b.Beenham, Berkshire abt.1788. There may be a connection? She married(?) Richard WILLIAMS in Berkshire. I can give information on her descendants from that marriage down through my line to the WILLIAMS coming to Australia, however, I have nothing beyond Hannah TUBB herself (ie. her parents/siblings).

Hello Les

I cannot see a connection.  However, in saying that, there may be a connection in there somewhere although being quite distant.

Hi Cathy

I'm the same as Reggie, that is, my Tubbs are way back with no known NZ connections. However,  my great unlce was Norman Leslie Williams (descended from Tubb) who was a POW in WWII (Changai Prison), but he never married and remained in Oz.

Hi Reggie

You are probably correct. There could be a connection somewhere, albeit distant, but how distant............................? Hannah is the only Tubb I know of, then she married Williams, which is the line I know about.

I own a group of seven oval portraits by the Irish painter Thomas Hickey (1741-1824) which according to old labels on the back depict William Bedford (1744-1825), his wife and five of their children, some of whom are also named, eg "Octavia" and "John Bedford 2nd son". The latter painting is also inscribed in a 19th century hand "John Sherman Tubb, afterwards Bedford, born 6th March 1771 married 9th July 1800 died 30th September 1807. Judge of the Admiralty Court of Barbadoes (sic)" My interest, in truth, is more in the paintings than in the geanealogy, since they are not related to me. A colleague at the College of Arms tells me the family records there are scant but that  "By Royal Licence dated 11 May 1785 (College of Arms Ms: I.33/88) John Tubb then of Acton Green co: Middlesex represented that his uncle the Rev. Thomas Bedford of Letterkenny, co: Donegal having no issue hath expressed a desire that he should assume his surname of Bedford out of affection and regard to his said uncle."

If anyone could provide me with the biography/genealogy of this family, I would be delighted to reciprocate by sending JPEGS of the portraits. The pictures are being cleaned and conserved at the moment and will be photographed thereafter.
