Bernard Hibbert

[Codd]

  Hi All.

I'm looking for the date of death and/or marriage of my great grandfather Bernard Hibbert. 

The last record I can find for him is a passenger list from Canada to England in 1919.  On the passenger list his address is New Whittington, Derbyshire.  He was born in  1860 in Unstone, Derbyshire. 

I have another brick wall concerning him but would be grateful right now to find a date for his death.

Thank you,
Codd

Hello there

There's an 81 year old Bernard Hibbert travelling out to Montreal on 14th October 1938 on board the Duchess of Bedford from Liverpool.

He gives his last UK address as 21 Holywell Street,Chesterfield.

Country of future residence Canada.

He is retired,but it doesn't say from what job!

There are also some Canadian WW1 signing up papers for an Abraham Lincoln Hibbert b 5 Aug 1894 who gives his next of kin as his dad as Bernard Hibbert address of Innisfail , Alta.This was dated 13th May 1918.

He is in 1881 RG11; Piece: 3445; Folio: 95; Page: 6 as a single man aged 23 yrs wrongly transcribed as 33yrs)

and then seems to disappear.

He is in  Canadian census, you probably have all this info, with wife Martha and children. His oldest child is perhaps Albert born 1887. This may help you find a marriage.

Thanks Carol!  That gives me something more to go on.  His daughter Mary was my grandmother and they were living in Innisfail in 1916.  I'll follow up on Abraham Lincoln Hibbert.  I know I saw his name on one of the censuses. That probably was his son as Bernard's father's name was Abraham.

It's possible that the 81 yr old Bernard was the same one as his daughter's husband died in 1936 leaving her with several children still at home.

I'm also looking for Bernard's passage to North America.  He left England sometime after the 1881 census and I can't find him on any passenger lists to the US or Canada.  But his daughter, Mary J was born in the USA and came to Canada with her father (Bernard) in 1903 at the age of 16.

Thank you so much for that information!  It is much appreciated

Thanks Heywood!  I do have the 1881 information but don't have him in Canada before 1903. 

Which census did you find information about he, his wife and son?  His daughter Mary was born in 1887 and she's the only child I've found so far until Carol told me about Abraham Lincoln.

Thank you!!
