He is on the Manitoba,Saskatchewan and Alberta 1906 census with Martha and lots of kids-again as Barnard Hibbert- arrived in Canada 1903- kids all seemed to have been born in USA.....so maybe he married there?

Will list them later if you like?

Good Morning Carol and Heywood!

Thank you so much for all of this information.  I don't understand why I haven't been able to find this information esp. the census records.  I thought I'd searched for alternate spellings.  I'll go back and try again. 

I didn't know Family Search existed.  I'll be using that one more often now! I thought I'd checked all the Hibbert related family trees on Anc.  I'll look again.

I knew Bernard was widowed because he appears on 1916 Manitoba/Saskatchewan/Alberta census living with his daughter and son-in-law in Innisfail with marital status widowed.

Thanks again!

It's a pleasure and now you have the other family members, you may be able to find out more.
At times, Family Search can be a bit difficult to negotiate but in this case- it's great.

I don't know if you saw this in your searches - a bit of a story http://www.middlea.freeserve.co.uk/familyhistory/hibbert.html

good luck

Thanks again.

Hello, Bernard Hibbert is my great great grandfather he was born July 23, 1857. Port of Arrival was Sept 26, 1939 at Blaine, Wash. Son was Albert married to Matilda Layden, have to check on date.

Hello LL,

I'm pleased to meet you.  Bernard Hibbert is my great grandfather.  His daughter Mary married James Wilson.  Their son Allan was my father.

James was much older than Mary and in ill health.  He died in 1936 leaving Mary with several children still at home.  Perhaps that is why Bernard at age 81 came back to Canada.

I didn't have the information about Bernard at Blaine, Washington.  Do you mind if I ask where you found that information so that I can add it to my family tree?

Albert is my great uncle.  So we are cousins:-) Do you live in Canada?

Regards,
Codd

Yes I live in Alberta Canada. And where do you live? I found Bernard's Immigrations ID card that shows his port of entry. It looks like this has was his last trip back from England as he died the spring of 1941. He remarried in England but she never came to Canada, according to my grandma. Grandma says she remembers going to James's funeral at Settler AB.
