What a very interesting site! I have just joined the forum section and really enjoyed having a look around at everything else on offer. I was particularly intrigued to find my family surname interest mentioned in the Hearth Tax for 1666. Thomas IBBS. He was exempted from payment along with quite a few others and I wondered why that was. Perhaps it was a perk of the job he did or he lived in a very lowly abode. Perhaps one of his descendents was among the group that travelled by barge in 1796 down the Trent/Mersey ca*** to be founder members of the Herculanian Pottery on the banks of the river Mersey, Liverpool Lancashire. My Great Great Grandfather was H.I. Thomas IBBS a potter. His Father was Isaac IBBS one of the ca*** travellers. I'm hoping to make contact with any other IBBS who may have a connection.
