3	Sean Kisby Cardiff, UK e:mail kisby[at]mail.com 9 July 2000 (updated 6 April 2009)	The less said the better. You can find enough information about me on the remainder of this site! I have embarked on a Kisby one-name-study and currently have a database of more than 1800 KISBY's, particularly from the 18th and 19th century and the counties of Cambridgeshire, Northamptonshire and Huntingdonshire. My KISBY's came from the Whittlesey and Peterborough area of Cambridgeshire, England (see http://www.kisbee.co.uk/whit.htm ) I would love to discover any notable or even famous KISBY/KISBEY/KISBEE's (see http://www.kisbee.co.uk/note.htm ) but will be delighted to hear from anybody with KISBY relatives living or deceased.

4	Judith Kisbee e:mail robert.judith[at]btinternet.com 28 October 2000 (updated 6 March 2004)	Interested in KISBEE's. I have researched the Kisbee family in great depth but one or two have caused me problems - mainly: Michael Kisbee who emigrated to Australia prior to 1857. George Kisbee who deserted from the army in Ireland in 1848 I have a great deal of information on Thomas Kisbee RN 1808-1847 but would welcome any further items if possible.
5	Lance Kisby Massachusetts, USA e:mail c/o boomalaka93[at]hotmail.com 5 January 2001	Interested in KISBY's especially in Leicestershire, England.

7	Peter Julian Kisby e:mail P.Kiz[at]BTinternet.com 7 February 2001	Interested in KISBY's. My grandmother, Edith, sadly died last year.  She was married to William Kisby and they had two sons, Geoffrey & John Raymond Kisby.
8	Tom Fortescue e:mail trf[at]ndirect.co.uk 22 June 2001	I am researching Fortescue/Foscues, and have an entry from IGI for the marriage of JOSIAH FOSCUE to MARY KISBY in 1692, at St John, Stamford, Lincs. I am suspect from the dates that these are the Josiah and Mary who then start baptising large numbers of children in Barnwell St Andrews, Northants, between 1692 and 1700 odd, with names changing erratically from Foscu towards Fortescue. Do any of you know anything of this Mary, or her family?
9	Mark Kisby e:mail mark[at]kisby.net 29 June 2001	My new grandmother in law has sent me an article from her latest edition of the British legion newsletter.  In it there is a person looking for an Eve Kisby who served in the British Army and whom he knew in 1944.  The person looking for Eve is called Fernand Wauathier Does the name Eve Kisby ring any bells with anyone?

10	Brenda Wheatcroft e:mail hwheatcroft[at]supanet.com 4 August 2001	I am trying to find my Grandfather John Kisby, he married Ada Kirby from Wigston in Leicestershire. They lived at Catherine Street in Leicester and had four children, Horace, Reginald,Leslie and Evelyn. John supposedly died in 1919 but i have no confirmation of it, there seems to be a mystery about him and i would love to know what.  Can anyone help me?
11	Denis Threadgill Lancashire, England contact c/o kisby[at]mail.com 20 August 2001 (updated 31 August 2008)	One of my ancestors, Ann Threadgill, married a Henry Kisby at Wisbech Independent Chapel, on 10 November 1847. Henry's father was William Kisby, farmer, of Outwell, Norfolk.   I would appreciate any information anyone has on Henry, Ann, or their surviving child Sarah Anne Kisby (bap 26 Oct 1849, Outwell).  I believe Henry, Ann and Sarah emigrated to the USA in 1852 and settled near Albany in New York State.
12	Andrew Titman Cambridge, England e:mail act41[at]cam.ac.uk 28 October 2001	My fourth-great grandmother was Elizabeth Kisby who married Edward Titman in Molesworth in 1796. I have established that Elizabeth was born in Winwick and was the daughter of Samuel Kisby and Sarah Bucknell. Samuel was described as being of Polebrook when he married Sarah. He was probably born about 1740. However I have been unable to find his baptism. In Winwick there do seem to be Kisbys back to the late 17th century but no Samuel that fits. I've also tried looking in Polebrook but without success. Interestingly I also have a second Kisby link in that a James Kisby married an Elizabeth Titman in Brington in 1824, and this happened to be where Edward and Elizabeth lived after they married. I haven't been able to find Elizabeth's baptism (though I suspect she may have been Edward's daughter) or any more information on James to determine how closely related they were.

13	Paul Holloway e:mail christine.holloway[at]ntlworld.com 16 November 2001	I am interested in both Kisby and Kisbey as my ones swop between the two! The oldest I have is Edward Kisby born circa 1792 of Minster, Kent married to Elizabeth Jane (maiden name unknown) of Tilbury, Essex. They had the following children Sarah Christiana 1814, Maria Louisa 1815, Henry Richard 1822, John Fredrick 1823, Thomas 1827, George 1828. I would like to think that their first born was also called Edward Kisby, born circa 1815 Gravesend, Kent(occ. fisherman), but the records are poor at this point. This second Edward Kisby married Caroline Jane SHORE b.circa1820 Gt Clacton, Essex. Their children included Caroline b.circa1840 (all at Queenborough , Sheppey. Also Eizabeth M 1842,Edward S 1844, Sarah A 1846, Maria M 1850, Theresa (Thyrsa)Mehalia(Mehala) and her twin Mehalia Teresa Kisby born 22 Feb 1853. The latter married my great grandfather Henry Holloway at Chelmsford in 1886 after her first husband (surname FRYETT died).

20	Tony Kremer UK e:mail tony[at]ajkremer.freeserve.co.uk 19 September 2006	My wife's paternal grandfather was a George Kisbee, but I cannot find anything about him on census records, so have drawn a blank on that part of our family tree. George was born in 1884 and died in Yalding, Kent, England in 1961, aged 77. Apparently had at least two brothers William and Albert Kisbee. He married a Florence Honess and had children Vera, George and Violet. I would very much like to learn more about the family. Thanks if anyone can help.
21	Penny Ryan London, UK e:mail pennykisbee[at]hotmail.com 06 March 2009	My Kisbee's originate from Northamptonshire and I have collected extensive records going back to the seventeenth century. Unfortunately in 2005 I lost all my possessions in a serious house fire. This included my family history research, my contact list and over 300 certificates. Anyone who has previously contacted me I would love to hear from them again. Bob Twyford very kindly sent me a gedcom right after the fire so I was able to start again with a fair database. But it is the certificates, passports, letters and original documents that will be difficult to replace. If anyone is willing to email me electronic copies that I have shared in the past I would be eternally grateful.
