Thomas Tibbetts c1829 mar. Mary Ann Griffiths. He was the son of William and Mary Maria Burley and one of 14 kids. So was Thomas M the son of Thomas and Mary? Think so as I have Samuel, Amelia, Mary M, James, Thomas etc as his siblings. Think of that! A doctor in the family. and he was my 2nd coz 3x removed.

Yes that is correct Trisha I looked up the marriage and entered it all on Connections here...

and the great thing is that this guy was apparently very very famous in Cradley heath, I am hoping to get some more information from a gentleman I met. He traced the grandaughter of this Thomas Major Tibbetts and the other day at the archives I was able to give him the info on the Tibbetts going back....and the icing on the cake was of course that she is a something cousin to me too!

Bit of a distant one to me compared to you Trisha...but all these Cousins!

Hey any rich ones?

This is from an email I received from Nev (RRonline) a couple of years back but had forgotten it.
"You are probably aware that a sizeable part of early Cradley Heath was called Tibbetts’s Gardens. The family was in trade, philanthropists I believe and were also pioneers of methodism in the town, One of the founders of Grainger’s Lane Primitive Methodist Church was I understand William Tibbetts (1783 – 1855). I’m told the tower of the original church was partly paid for by John Tibbetts (1814 – 1860) and with it’s clock enabled everyone without their own to know what time of day it was. Nearer our own time was Dr. Thomas Major Tibbetts, who was much loved and respected in Cradley Heath. He was my father’s doctor.
There were and are other Tibbetts in the town but the foregoing are perhaps some who made the greatest mark. My own connection is a bit remote, I’m afraid. My 4 times great grandmother was an Elizabeth Tibbetts who married William Hodgetts on the 21st May 1777 I think at St Thomas’s Church, Dudley. Their surviving children were Ann (1778), William (1780), Elizabeth (1783), John (1785), Mary (1786), Samuel (1789) and Susanna(1791, my 3 times great grandmother)
I should be interested if you could fit anyone into your Tree."

Just had a look at my tree maker and I have Nev's Elizabeth and William Hodgetts. She was daughter of John and Susannah.
