Here is more information on the Leicester side of the Kisby tree. So far, Malcom Ksiby of Greenwich Eng. and I have not found any skeletons. Nor did we find abandoned Kisby fortune!

Here is what I found interesting. The name Kisby came form a town called Keisby. Early spelling of the Kisby name is Keisby. This town does not exist on any map except for a really old on that Malcom found. It is still there and is more of a village, in teh truest sense of the word. It is really an intersection with houses (4-5) in the area. It is about 1 hr Northest of Leicester. Sort of in what I envision to be a great setting for a Sherlock HOlmes story!

2. came across some other Kisbys in UK when we were there thsi last Summer. We went to Leicester and met up with one the most warmest people we ever met. Peter and Valery Kisby. He is a retired fire Lieutenant, is 55 years old and is now a part time magistrate. He agreed to fix any tickets that I may get while driving in Leicester. Pete and Val showed us where Ernest Ksibylived, went to shcool, where he and Ethel Bragg lived after they got married. adn whee he worked. A real cute area of a rather big city. More like pop. of about 200,000. Poor, though.

We saw Roman ruins! But the highlight was the Tavern owned by a Kisby. If I remember correctly ( my notesare at home) it was called the Old Bowling Green Tavern. It is stillthere. It was owned by a William Kisby.

We used to live in Amherst, MA and currently live in Tucson. We are trying to contact Sandra and Malcolm Kisby of Greenwich, England. The Malcolm and Sandra we knew in the late '70s were on Sabbatical from the UK while Malcolm was at the University of Massachusetts (and lived in Amherst, MA). Somehow over the years we lost touch. Do you have an email address for them (or could give them ours?

Thank you!

Hello, I see that it is over a year since you posted your search for Malcolm and Sandra Kisby. I knew a Malcolm Kisby 40 years ago when I was at school near Greenwich and have recently been in touch with a mutual friend who has just mentioned that Malcolm and Sandra are going to stay with them shortly. If indeed this is the same person I feel confident that we may be able to put you in touch with each other. I have as yet had no direct contact with Malcolm. I hope this is of use or that you have already made contact, if you have, you might remind him of me! Sincerely Corinne Hutchinson
