they had 8 children. After William jnr's death Mary Jane Wyber married Henry S.Hickmer(my grandfather) 1917 Guildford. I am looking for any photos there may be of this second marriage.

I have just found William Wyber born 1823 Cape of Good hope on 1881 census living at Dapdune Road Guildford. Also the marriage of his son William Wyber to Mary Jane Cannon Aug 1881. They had son William James Wyber Feb 1883. Mary Jane went on to marry my grandfather Henry Hickmer in Guildford and I am wanting to find more info about him. If any Wybers can help it would be appreciated.

Malcolm, I received notification about your message to Elizabeth. I have been in contact with Eliz. in the past. My search shows that her James was the brother of 'Rev'. John Wyber and Margaret Kinnaird.(Children of Isaac and ? Robertson) They in turn are the ancestors of John Wyber, etc. (deceased) of Au. His brother David Keith Wyber has taken up the ancestry search. Joyce Nichols of Massachusetts is also related. A lot of history in this branch of the Wyber's.
I believe the Relief Church. Anna Wyber Dunne

Elizabeth

Your people are dissenters. The overwhelming majority of
Scottish dissenters were Presbyterians who belonged to the Associate, Burgher, Relief or United Secession Churches. The Free Church did not exist until 1843 and many of the older churches united in 1847 to form the United Presbyterian Church.

As it happens, there is a marriage proclamation entry in the parish of Old Kirkpatrick (Dunbarton or possibly Stirling, the parish is right on the border) in 1815 for the couple you mention. There are various references to the family of a James Horsburgh in the same parish and this family has all of the characteristics of a dissenting family, just like your own. Marion Horsburgh may well have been the sister of this James.

James Horsburgh is very likely to be connected to my family as he should be the son of William Horsburgh and Jean Brash. Was James Wyber or any of his children papermakers or involved with paper mills (where lots of labourers were employed in addition to the skilled papermakers)?

If you are interested in understanding about dissenters and how they appeared in the OPR record, you will need to refer to my paper that is contained in the conference notes of the 2nd Australasian Scottish Genealogy Conference (held in Melbourne, Australia, in 2006). Copies of the notes can be purchased via the Genealogical Society of Victoria website: www.gsv.org.au.

Do you have any extracts from OPRs for this family (including the marriage)? There may be internal clues in whatever you have been able to find to indicate which of the dissenting churches your family belonged to. You may also find this information from marriage certificates from 1855 onwards, but there is no guarantee.

Regards

Linda - My maiden name was PHILBEY - I reside in Tasmania, Australia.I am trying to get some family history. I believe there is a Philbey clan (with all various spellings) gathering in Suffolk at that particular church area every 2 years. I think a branch of Philbeys settled in Australia somewhere between the 1840s - 1860s. I think there is a Philbey crest/coat of arms with three nails(!!!!!????) on it. Please email me with any info. Thanks.

Dianne, am I right in assuming that you are a daughter of Carol? I know she has three. I am Carol and Robert's Cousin, daughter of Andy. I do have some information on Willie. I got in touch with the hospital at Livingstone and they sent me some records (or at least info from records) I will need to dig them out, but you are welcome to have what I have. Are you doing genealogy? I have quite a bit of info on the family.

2004-06-23 19:22:30Z

I am researching the life, and particularly the First World War service, of William Wyber my Great Uncle (eldest brother of Robert, Margaret, John, Andy, Sammy, David, Minnie, Alfie and son of William and Mary Wyber). I would be very interested in any further information/photographs regarding William since very little material relating to him appears to have remained here in Scotland. I know that many of his family moved abroad and am quite sure that a couple of his relations are on this message board (I am Gregg Wyber's cousin!). I have compiled a lot of information about William Wyber's military background from the PRO, local newspapers, museums etc. and would be grateful for any further assistance in my research. Thanks,
Dianne.

Elizabeth, If you contact me at my e-mail address, I can give you some other addresses that may be able to help. My James was born in the same time frame, but did not marry Marion Horsburgh. There are other's tracing James Wybers. They may have some information to share.

Hi Maureen. I found this web site and thought I'd reply. I'm also from Clydebank. My Father is Rober Wyber and his father was also Rober (Robbie) Wyber, married to Isabelle (Jackson).
I'm not too sure on my family history or even non-immediate family, as I moved away from Scotland when I was young, but I remember visiting an Agnes when I was a young boy.

Re: Linda Philbey

2003-04-14 23:40:44Z

Hi, it is interesting that you both have a very similar name to mine. I am from Australia, so I am unsure what the connection would be but would be interested to hear from you. It is also an uncommon name here.

Amber, Can you give us a year for Frances living in Dublin?
There are a few Wyber's who at some time, lived in Dublin.
They were Military, mostly. Not many Wyber's. Maybe we can make a connection! Anna Wyber Dunne pandadunne@qwest.net

Hello Robyn, I saw your original message and was going to answer it. For some reason I can't 'find' it now. I need to get my mind straightened out. I think there is a connection to one or two of the Wyber's you are searching. Contact me at
panda_dunne@msn.com. It will be easier to get info back and forth. Regards, Anna Wyber Dunne

Re: Wyber Clan.

2001-09-10 13:51:10Z

Do you know any dates for either of these people? My grandfather, John Keller (whose mother was Frances Wyber) only had one brother, Fred. They were both born around 1910, I think around Dublin. I hope this helps!

Re: Wyber Clan.

Re: Wyber Clan.

2001-08-21 14:28:28Z

Joyce, I tried to e-mail you direct, but your address is 'not known'. I found your family! You are related to John Wyber in Australia. You have a couple names wrong, but close enough to say for sure that you are one of his family.
William Delamoriniere Wyber b.1846 = Elizabeth Amelia France b. 1853. Child=Annie Gertrude b. 1877 = Hugh Spencer Houlder in 1901. Brothers of Annie Gertrude- Frederick George b. 1879 = Isabel King. Wm. Francis b 1876=Beatrice Louise Holland b. 1877. Are you in the New England area? I also came across an Eliz. Amelia Wyber at Ellis Island age 66 coming to visit her daughter! Don't remember all the details.
If you want to know more, e-mail me. pandadunne@qwest.net

Hi Kevin... You seem to know quite a bit about the Wyber Clan... I haven't been able to find anything about my Wybers.... Have you heard of any of them....Gertrude Anne Wyber was born in 1877 in Teddington, England and married Hugh Spencer Houlder, Born: 1875....... Her father was William Wyber and married an Anne..... That is all I know. Can you help me at all?

Re: Wyber Clan.

2001-07-27 13:51:43Z

My grandfather was born in 1911 (Frances Wyber was his mother), so I know that they lived there before that time. It was rumored that her family moved to Ireland in the mid 1800's. I hope that helps!

Re: Wyber Clan.

2001-07-24 00:08:17Z

My Great-Grandmother was Frances Wyber. She lived in Dublin and was married to George Nelson Keller from America. Do any of these names sound familiar to anyone?

Hello Linda, Just was browsing and came across your message. I have a William Wyber born Cape of Good Hope in
1822. His father, my GGGrandfather, James Wyber, had as his first son, John born in 1817 @ St Helier, Jersey, this, is my GGrandfather. John would have been your Williams 'big brother'. First, I must say that I have been trying to connect with the 'Wrong James and John' for a year now! Finally had a researcher go into Kew. He came up with this information on the Wyber's. It all seems to fit! Would love to meet you and compare notes. Regards, Anna Wyber Dunne Contact me! pandadunne@qwest.net
