Hello there! I have been interested in the PIBWORTH surname (including PEBWORTH and other variants)for several years. My own connection comes from my 6th great grandfather William PIBWORTH of Linkenholt, Hampshire England.

I have collected all pre-1900 people of this surname in England and Australia. I would be glad to check my database for you and to receive dany new information you may like to share.

Please help me to extend my research into this uncommon English surname, which appears to have originated in Northern Hampshire, Berkshire and Gloucestershire England.

I was also a Pibworth. My father Jack Pibworth was born in South Wales and now lives in Gloucester, but I think his father came from Newbury in Berkshire

Hi
I was looking up stuff about the Flying Scotsman and noticed the name Pibworth, he was one of the first drivers to drive the train from London to Edinburgh non stop. He was my great aunts brother in law. My great aunt was called Ann but I will have to find out her husbands name. Will get back to you later.

I was very interested to hear about the Flying Scotsman. My parents have an 'old boys' or mecano magazine (can't remember which, as it is the loft) with a picture showing driver A Pibworth.

My photocopy of the page says "our photograph shows Driver A Pibworth and fireman Mutton standing by the side of "Flying Fox" at Kings Cross. Driver Pibworth is giving the final touches with the oilcan before the famous train starts on its long run.". The page at www.flyingscotsman.com/feature.html had some info, but this page seems to have been taken off.

Hi Sharyn, Am researching the Pibworths myself & have collected about 240 so far, plus their partners etc. I have info about William & Sarah Annetts but as yet cannot make the connection between them & my 240 others, but if you have info about their parents etc I expect it would link up. I would be very interested to hear from you and have lots to share.

I have Albert (Flying Scotsman) & his relatives in my tree so I may be able to give you some more info. I can go back at least 6 generations before him, too. He was married to Alice Mary Allen & had two children, Albert & Percy (as far as I know). I'd love to be able to put their descendents in my tree, so please get in touch if you'd like more info.

Hi, I see this is a really old thread but I was looking up information about Albert Pibworth(Flying Scottsman) and came across it. Hopefully I can fill in a gap for you if you havent managed to already. Albert Pibworths son Albert married a lady called Ann Perfect who had a sister called Maisie Cooke(nee Perfect) who was my grandmother. I knew Ann as Auntie Ann for some years in the 60 and 70s and can confirm that she had no children.
I may be able to provide moreinformation on the Cooke line if anybody is interested.

Hi Jim, I have the Alberts in my tree and am imterested to find out if you know why Albert Junior (married to Ann Perfect) had the middle names Raltoner Halton. Any idea? Also, I have done a massive amount of research on the Pibworth name and am willing to share my tree if you have the software to receive it. If so, let me know. I have a couple of cuttings about Flying Scotsman Albert too.

Hi Julie, Thanks for the offer but I'm not really into the family tree research. I am currently researching a couple of great Uncles from my fathers side who died in the first WW. I have raised your question with my oldest surving relative on my mums side and unfortunately she doesn't know she said she just knew him as Uncle Bert although she took a guess that those names may be from his mothers side. I have one more avenue to explore which is my mums family tree to see if there are any clues on that. I'll let you know when I've had a look there.
Kind Regards,
Jim.

Hi Julie,
My Dad has had a look at my Mum's family tree and unfortunately there aren't any clues on there regarding Albert's middle names. I have done a bit of research into Percy James and found that he was killed in November 1915 in France. I have shown below a summary of what I found and hope it is is of some interest,
Kind Regards,
Jim.

Percy James Pibworth Pvte 3628 1st London Regiment(Royal Fusiliers)

8th Division 25th Brigade

Killed in Action France 7/11/1915

The diary of the 1st London Regiment(Royal Fusiliers) records that for the period 1st - 4th November they were allocated as the Divisional reserve force.
On 5th November they were ordered to relieve the 7th Middlesex Regiment in the trenches and billets at FLEURBAIX. A & C companies went into the trenches. Capt R B G Glover is reported killed by a Sniper.
The Sniper obviously had the trench in range as on the 6th and 7th November the diary entry reads “A quite day. 1 man killed.” So we can assume that Percy was the casualty listed on the 7th and was most likely killed by the same sniper.

Percy is burried in Y FARM MILITARY CEMETERY, BOIS-GRENIER row M plot 14.
