I have just found this site. I have done extensive research into my branch of the Tebbs family. My ancestors came from Countesthorpe in Leicestershire. My Great Great Grandfather William, was a Gentleman Farmer and he had 10 children who survived. His son Richard , my Great Grandfather was a Chemist and moved to Gainsborough Lincolnshire with Elizabeth his wife and they had 7 children, one of they John Daniel Tebbs was my Grandfather.For some unknown reason Richard left his family and went to America and no one heard anything of him again.I found out that he remarried in New York a year later and I have a copy of his marriage certificate on which he declared that he was a widower!! The family he left behind then went to live in Leeds. My Grandfather John Daniel had 4 children, the eldest Roland Daniel was my father.If any one out there has any links with the Leicestershire or Lincolnshire Tebbs, I would be glad to share info with them.Other branches of the family tree spread to West Bromwich, Kent and Great Barr in Stafford.
