How long have we been in Rutland?
Illumination in The Rutland Psalter produced c. 1260 in England
I've found some interesting names in the Rutland Lay Subsidy Roll of 1296/7. I'll never be able to prove my connection back this far but this may offer circumstantial evidence for perhaps some of my family having been in the area for a long time.
Place, Name
Empingham, Richard Hobburd
Teigh, William Hubert
Teigh, Richard Hubert
Seaton, William Tubbe
Glaston, William Tubbe
Teigh, Henry de Neubold
Teigh, Richard de Neubold
Oakham, William de Neubold
Oakham, Richard de Neubold
Clipsham, John Le Neubrid
Tickencote, Richard Neubrid
Ketton, William de Neubotle x 2
Ketton, Juliana Neubotle
Ketton, Henry de Neubotle
Ketton, Marg' de Neubotle
Could Hobburd and Hubert be a variant of Hibbitt? Maybe stretching it a little, who knows?
My 6 x great-grandmother was Ann Tubbs who married John Hybit in Exton in 1732. Could either of the Tubbe men be my ancestor?
Mahala Newbold was my 3 x great-grandmother. She married Amos Hibbitt in 1830. Her grandfather, John Newbold, was located in Exton in the late 18th century. I have seen the spelling written as Neubold and Newbolt too. Could any of these people be my forbear?
