Newby to the site and wondering how to proceed once your name supply is exhausted. There appears to be no links to previous generations. Many thanks for any help. Dave Baker.

Hi David

Perhaps you can give us some indication of exactly who you are researching?

Not many Dibdens in Manchester in the earlier census but plenty in Lancashire.

David, do you mean how to trace back from known relatives I. E. Grandparents or great grandparent so please?

It may be that the last two or three generations hailed from Manchester but previous generations came from elsewhere.

As PricklyHolly says, give us some names and dates and we may be able to point you in the right direction.

A search on Freebmd for Dibden births, marriages or deaths in Manchester shows this as the earliest

Marriages Jun 1909 (>99%)
DIBDEN John Standen Manchester 8d 313

The number of entries increase from 1909 and that would suggest that those Manchester Dibdens came from elsewhere in the country.


The above man, although married in Manchester was born in Preston

Dec 1876 (>99%)
DIBDEN John Standing Preston 8e 541


He was lodging in Manchester in 1901 with his future wife's family
