    Hi Debbie,
    Thought I would tell you that I have a draft Will for Robert Tidbury 1798-1869 of Bucklebury that I have transcribed. If it is of use to you, email me.
    Yours

    Just to say Hello,
    My Tidfbury / Tedbury familes come from East Devon, Withycombe Raleigh area.
  • Debbie Kennett

    Hi Vicky, Yes I would like a copy of the will. By the way the photo I've used for the group is of my grandmother Winifred Mabel Tidbury (1902-1991).

    Hi, I am researching my husband's (Tidbury) family. We have got back to William Tidbury in Kintbury - anybody else have Tidbury ancestors from here?
  • Monique Amor

    My Tidburys are from Newbury, Greenham and Thatcham.  If anyone has had their DNA tested, my GEDmatch number is F392073.  :-)

  • Debbie Kennett

    Hi Monique, I'm also descended from the Tidburys of Newbury, Greenham and Thatcham. I've tested at FTDNA, 23andMe and AncestryDNA. I've checked our results on GedMatch but unfortunately we do not show up as a match.

    Hi Debbie, I thought I recognised your name, I think you helped my cousin Richard Giles out with some Tidbury research many years ago.  

    Tidbury's appear a couple of times in my tree - Helen Matilda Tidbury married my 2x Gt Grandfather (also called Richard Giles) but she isn't my ancestor as he married my 2x Gt Grandmother Lucy Bishop after Helen died.  I think that Helen Matilda's father William Tidbury b1833 Ashmore Green d1904 Durham may have been a bigamist.

    Also, Richard Giles mother (so my 3x Gt Grandmother) was Sarah Ann Alder daughter of Chalres Alder and Mary Ann Tidbury.  

    The Tidbury name has also popped up in my mum's late husband's tree - they seem to be entwined in lots of families in the area.

    I match someone on FTDNA from Australia who is descended from the Alders, but have not found any match with a Tidbury connection yet - maybe I didn't get their DNA passed down to me!  Hopefully I will get more matches when testing in the UK really takes off.  I have tested on FTDNA and Ancestry.
