If so your ancestors may have lived in Marple at least four and a half centuries ago. First mentioned is Nicholas who was called to jury service in 1589. He made his will in October 1597 and died the following month. He had five sons and the eldest, Thomas, purchased the manor of Marple, about 1606. His wife was Elizabeth, daughter of Henry Bradshaw and they had a family of four sons and two daughters. The eldest son William by his second wife Alice, daughter of Geoffrey Mottershead of Mottram Andrew, had a son Henry.
Henry Hibbert, born 1602 was educated at Oxford University and took his BA degree in 1622. He appears to have been minister of Mottram in 1647 but was at Settrington in Yorkshire in 1652 and later that year took charge of Holy Trinity Church, Hull from where he was said to have been ejected in 1660. He was Vicar of All Hallows the Less in London in 1662 when he was appointed vicar of St Olave where he remained until his death in 1678. He was a doctor of divinity, Prebendary of St Pauls and the author of several books. He left no male children to succeed him.
Another branch of the Hibbert family was descended from Nicholas of Marple who was born in 1684. Several generations later the head of this family was Robert whose grandson Robert Hibbert of Birtles, his wife, a daughter of Henry Leicester of Tabley, died aged eighteen. Robert Hibbert purchased the Birtles estate in 1791 and was High Sheriff of Chester in 1978. Another Hibbert, Thomas, was paid in 1680 by the church wardens of Prestburyfor placing an advertisment in the London Gazette after thieves had broken into the Church and stolen two flagons valued at forty pounds, two surplices, a pulpit cloth and a green communion carpet.
