Hi there,
I am a decendant of the Yorkshire Twibills. My father, John William Twibill immigrated to Canada in 1964. His parents were George William and Winnifred Tempest. We have a family bible dating back to the 1700 that has names and dates inscribed. I will pull it out and send if you are interested.

Dear Adrienne

How marvelous to have such a resource and heirloom, sometimes these things vanish and we dont know where. It would be a wonderful addition to the Twibill page to have this information available to all. I think Twibill descendents everywhere would be grateful for your effort. I am looking for the Yorkshire connection but Irish records fail about 1800. The Irish to look for are Joseph and George. However the are already some Irish Twibles in Ontario, from County Monaghan in Ireland from the late 19th Century.
I think we all on this page look forward with interest to this information. How wonderful.

I suggest that you give the post a title that will attract other Twibill researchers, "Twibill Family Bible Records' or something that as many will see this.

regards

Geoff

Hello - your message caught my attention as I have been doing some research on the Twible's today.

My great grandmother was Hannah Twible born in County Monaghan in approximately March 1858 as best I can determine (this from information on her gravestone). She immigrated to Canada with her brother Robert and sister Jane. The information I have on Robert indicates he was born in Castlebarney [sic] . From the records I have, it appears their parents were George Twible and Elizabeth Robinson. Hannah was fourteen when they came to Canada.

I kept running into deadends trying to trace back in Ireland but this different spelling and history on the name gives me some new options.

Dear friend
how pleasant to get a reply regarding the Twibles. My grandmother was Twible and the family has proved a most interesting project of research. In the process of investigating the name I have looked at other branches. I have studied the County Monaghan Twibles Twibills and the records have not been extensive enough to prove a connection. Whether there were 2 distinct immigrations from Yorkshire in the late 1600's to Armagh and Monaghan, or as there seems one Twibill in south Armagh in the 1670's who could be the 'daddy of them all'. However John Twibill a descendant of the Rotherham, Yorshire Twibills undertook, as a retired forensic scientist, a DNA survey of all he can find and proved that they all were the same origin. US Australian, Irish English, etc.

So yes I did some study on your Twibles. The Castleblaney (and Dundalk) Twibles are somewhat confused, because of the prevelance of the name George, soem being contempory with each other. There was even a Joseph Twible born in Castleblayney who as a sea captain became an American citizen but came back and married Elizabeth Twible form Castleblayney. (However he was transported to Australia in 1835 for 7 years, for bigamy!!)

The distinguishing pattern that may be helpful is the religious matter. There are a few Roman Catholic Twibills but some ma be old english settlers of the Pale. However your Twibles distinguish from the Church of Ireland (Episcopal) by being presbyterian. Earlier Twibles for the 1760's moved from Monaghan eventually to Indiana and make up the majority of the mid states Twibills, later Castleblayney Twibills moved to New York and they still are identifiable. Our Twibles are still focussed in the New England area. However there is a distinct move of presbyterian Twibles to Victorian Canada, which was the preferred destination for loyalist Ulstermen who brought much of their culture with them. Particularly to Mono County Ontario.

I have done a little work on this group because an Elizabeth Twible married Hans Hamilton at Broomfield Presbyterian Church and emigrated to New Zealand, and a descendant visited about 10 years ago.And we visited the original cottage in Knockagolis

So I will attach a 5 images of the family tree print out of the family tree which will print across a4 pages and then you can tape together. And also the ged file which you could open in geneaological software.
So I hope that this is helpful, but is is sketchy and fallible It has been about 10 years since I did this work. I believe that your Robert is on the left hand side. I had come across a reference to him as witness to Hannah's wedding.

I have attached 3 pictures. 1. The names of Hannah's uncles on the communion roll of Broomfield Presbyterian Church, 2. John Collins and his son Michael from New Zealand in front of the Twible cottage. and 3. A picture they had of Elizabeth and her husband Hans Hamilton who went to NZ. She was Hannah's Aunt.

I hope this is helpful.

Thank you so much for the information you have provided. The Robert that you pointed out in the family chart is indeed my great-great uncle and his sister Hannah is indeed my great-grandmother. Your chart has actually helped to clear up another long standing question re Hannah's parents. Her marriage information had said John and Mary were her parents:
10048-80 (Simcoe Co): William LITTLE, 36, widower, farmer, Canada, Mono, s/o George & Alice, married Hannah TWIBLE, 18, Ireland, Mono, d/o John & Mary, witn: Robert TWIBLE & Elizabeth Alice JACKSON, both of Mono, 30 Dec 1879 at Mono
But her obituary indicated George and Elizabeth as her parents
Born in Monaghan, Ireland, Mrs. Little was a daughter of George Twible and Elizabeth Robinson. Her maiden name was Hannah Twible and she came to Canada when fourteen years of age with other members of the family. In fact, I grew up on the farm one down and on the opposite side of the road to where Hannah raised her family.

The chart you provided confirms John and Mary as the parents.

The three children, Robert, Hannah and Jane all had good sized families. Hannah's was the smallest family of the three with five children. Both Robert and Jane had ten children each with many of Robert's sons serving in WW1. (And I should add each returning safely). Many of Hannah's and Robert's descendants continue to reside in the Southern Ontario area in Canada today. Jane's descendants are mostly in Western Canada (Saskatchewan) were she and her husband moved while raising their family.

Thank you so much for this additional information and I now need to make some updates in the family tree. If there is information that you would like on this family line, do let me know.

Philip

I have recently married and am now no longer twible. But, I live in Florida and I was born in Connecticut. My family is all up north in the Connecticut region. I know that my family is predominantly irish and I have been trying to find other relatives for a long time. The Twible name comes from my father's family, all up north. I remember growing up and my family being very specific on how my last name was pronounced and getting very upset if someone said my last name wrong.
