Thanks

Be VERY careful when opening this link as it has a 'rogue' dialer embedded in the page and lots of pop ups.

I never see any pop-ups as I long ago installed StopZilla. As far as I was concerned this is a straightforward family history portal site.

I'm descended from Erasmus Jubb of Attercliffe, whose father was called George. Erasmus born around 1860. Don't know about origins, but there is a family story that the Jubbs once owned a mill, and that one of them was a mayor, in Yorkshire.

Thanks - turns out that Jubbs are everywhere in Yorkshire - loads of them!

Hi there. I'm descended from an Erasmus Jubb, born in Attercliffe, Sheffield in 1860s (he married Laura Laws). His father was George, married to Jane Steel (e). Could this be the same family? There was a family story about them having owned a steelworks, but the profits were drunk away. The family later moved to Derby where my grandfather, Albert, was born in 1890.

I have heard talk of the surname having Swedish roots, but no idea if this is true.
