Hello. My Mother`s maiden name was KISBY. Her first name is EVA and her brother was GEORGE. There were four sisters and another brother called LEONARD. Their mother`s name was ALICE. Cant recall their father`s name. They all came from LEICESTER. My Mother is aged 87 in October this year. Wondering if there is a connection and that perhaps GEORGE KISBY could be her brother???My Mother lost touch with all her family many many years ago.

Sorry Carol, I don't think you are one of us. George(b 1866) had the following sibs (as far as I know) Walter (1860), Mary (1868), Arthur (1870), Rosina (1873), Lizzie (1873), Maud (1878). No Eva that I know of, and I think your mum must be one generation on from here, born c 1918. Might be a daughter of one of the blokes, of course - I havn't traced these, except that Walter married a Grace --. Sorry I can't help more, but the Mormon site might give you some more dtails.

David, you may have noticed at some point that Lance Kisby (earlier posts of this Board) also says he is descended from George KISBY. According to the transcriptions of the England & Wales Birth registers, there is only one George KISBY born 1865/66, so it is likely you have a common ancestor. Did you Edith have a brother Ernest?

Your George (as you probably know) moved as a young man across to Leicester to stay with his Uncle William who had settled in the city.

Hi I have recentley started to look into my family history and found a message from Carol? My dad was Leonard Kisby and his mum was Alice, his brother George and there were at least four or five sisters. Their dad was William Kisby and they lived in the Leicester area. If you still contact this message board please get in touch as I believe we are related. x
