FAMILY HISTORY: MORTON

THE FAMILY OF MARGERY IBISON

 

Robert Ibison and Ann Bamber were married on 7 August 1750. Their daughter Margery Ibison was born in Barnacre-with-Bonds. The only concrete information I have found on her family comes from the Register of Papists, which was an attempt to count all Catholics in the country. The following information is taken from that register. (The family surname seems to have been spelled various ways over the years.)

 

1767 REGISTER OF PAPISTS, BARNACRE-WITH-BONDS, LANCASHIRE:

677 Robert Ibbertson Husbandman 48 Barnacre 48 years
678 Ann, wife of Robert - 46 Barnacre 16 years
679 George Ibbertson - 15 Barnacre 15 years
680 William - 13 Barnacre 13 years

682 John - 9 Barnacre 9 years
683 Margery - 12 Barnacre 12 years
684 Ann - 5 Barnacre 5 years
685 Ellin - 1 Barnacre 1 years
NOTES:
1: The ages given are, at best, questionable.
2: There were two other Ibisons living in Barnacre at the time, Margaret, age 13 and Thomas, age 8, but I can not be sure that they are members of Margery's family.
3: Some of the above information was kindly provided by Peter Ibison.
