I have various ancesters of my Sibley family being baptised and married in Eaton Bray around 1600. I have Henry Sibley born 1631 who married Adria Cutlet and his father Richard Sibley born c1600 who married Agnes Turpin. Henry had 2 sisters that I know of, Agnes and Marie.
Can anyone tell me if there are any records of Sibleys going back further.

There is a tree on Ancestry that gives Richard Sibley 1600-1669 father as William Sibley born 1579 Eaton Bray Beds.Death 1617 Bradpole Dorset.Mother is given as Eleanor Edwards born 1579 Somerset.Although William is not in parish records for 1579 he may have been baptised elsewhere or not at all.

You may get some info from Beds Records Office Tel 01234 226633,archive@bedford.gov.uk always helpful .

There used to be a David Sibley living in EB in the 60's, but don't know where he moved to. Probably in his late 50's now

My Mary Sibley born 1710 Houton Regis Bedfordshire married Thomas Tearle born 1710 Bedfordshire.   Can anyone enlarge on this family.

Hi Annette

Found on Family Search...
Baptism..

23rd August 1741 John Tearle
29th October 1749 William Tearle
19th May 1754 Richard Tearle
All born to parents Thomas Tearle and Mary Sibley in Stanbridge Beds.
Thomas and Mary married 27th May 1730 in Stanbridge.
Thomas burial 19th March 1755 and Mary burial 25th March 1792.
Will check in Stanbride Parish Records when I can as the dates for children look as though there are more of them.

Sorry Annette

Marriage was in Leighton Buzzard and burial's in Stanbridge.

Hi Annette,

Have done a lot of work on the Sibleys and can send you a Gedcom of all of Mary's ancestry if you like. If you come through Richard Gadsden and Elizabeth Tale/Turrill then Mary Sibley is not your ancestor. See the end of the next paragraph.

I come through the son Thomas Tearle 1737 and Susanna Atwell. For more on the Tearles, you might want to join the Tearle site on Yahoo.com. You have to join Yahoo, but that is free. Then go to groups.yahoo.com/group/tearle and on the right side click on Subscribe. Give your relationship to the Tearles and one of the two main members has to ok your membership. We have the main family line back to 1610, but if you come through Elizabeth 1735 of Eaton Bray not 1734 of Edlesborough who married Richard Gadsden then that is a separate line which I believe has been added also. Her parents were John Tale 1704 and Elizabeth Forsket md 4 Jan 1726 Studham.

My guess for the parents of Richard Sibley: There is a baptism for a Richard Sibley on 9 Jul 1592 in the adjoining parish of Studham, but no parents are listed. Comparing names in all the families in Studham to Richard's family, I think the most likley couple are Henry Sibley & Ellen Smith who married in Rickmansworth, Herts. in 1575. The rest of the date is not readable. Henry was buried 10 Feb 1596/97 in Studham. This is still just a guess. I see pedigrees with just a year (1665) for Richard's grandson John who was Mary Sibley's father. A cousin has found his christening in Ivinghoe and I found a brother Richard there also. Some have also combined the family of this Henry and Adrea with a family of Henry & ? in Tilsworth having children overlapping. I have been able to prove to my satisfaction that these are two separate families.  The most important of the proofs are the burials of all four adults. Our two were buried by full name in Eaton Bray in 1684 & 1713, Adrea after dying in Billington, residence of two of her children. The Tilsworth couple were buried in Tilsworth, with the wife as just Widow. Also at least one of the children in the Tilsworth family are too close in age to one in the Eaton Bray family to be biologically possible.

Hope this is helpful.
