I know that the Corby's have a French g g grandmother, whose father came to Ireland in 1798, but the connection to Wm is unknown to me. The Abbey of Corbie north of Paris is very early RC church. Re established as a working monestary in the 600's by St. Bathildie who was also queen of France for awhile. The name of a low moutain range in Southern France is also called the Corbieres, as well as a peak in the French Alps, Mt Corbierer? Why ??? Any answers would be great. Thanks jck
