So the line does not originate in Liverpool

I gave you your uncle's death reg'n.................buy the cert for informant's details

Use freebmd to identify your father's siblings......and their registered names.

http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl

The soap company name was Bibby........without the 'e' which is in your grandfather's line.

Your best bet is to research Maria.............to prove (or disprove) the story

thank you for that. I am most grateful for all your help.

thank you all, for your help. My father is Alfred Thompson born in 1932. I know he had at least 2 sisters, Barbara and Freda, and some brothers, Bert, Fred and John. There may have been others.
There was a story going round the family at one time that a relative of John Bibbey Thompson was either Mayor or Lord Mayor of Liverpool but I haven't been able to find any information about this. I believe the Bibbey family were in the soap business in the Liverpool area.
