Ok so just looked on Geni and my fathers cousin Denise Matthews has posted some stuff on there so yes Reby is indeed my great grandfather wow.

[Sarah Wilson]

Yes I noticed that, my dads cousin has put on Geni that her name was Havers not Roberts

[Sarah Wilson]

Reby was named after Jane's brother Reby, Reby is a very different name wonder where it comes from.

A Susannah Havers married Dec 1/4 1848 Marylebone registration district but the choice of grooms had surnames Dady, Gay, Morris and Rushton. Your Father's cousin has it wrong. This is a good lesson in always checking other people's information.

Does anyone know where the first name Rivey and Reby comes from?

[Sarah Wilson]

Also can anyone go back even further than James and Susannah, many thanks in advance xxx

Hi Sarah
I can't find any suggestions as to the origin of the first name Rivey. The only suggestion I could find for Reby was Rebecca which is no use to you!

1851
James Garwood 42
Susan Garwood 44 Hawkedon, Suffolk
Jane Garwood 18
Ruth Garwood 16
James Garwood 8
Reva Frederick Garwood 3 months

There is this marriage which makes me backtrack and I think your relative has got it right and I got it wrong. I don't know who the 1848 marriage refers to but there is this marriage that fits far better with the children and James and Susan in the 1851 census above.
Name - Susanna Havers
Marriage Date 24 May 1831
Marriage Place Brockley, Suffolk, England
Spouse - James Garwood

There is a tree with all sources on ancestry. The tree is Bailey of Kent and the owner is dancyg. If you have access to it it will save a lot of time for us typing stuff out.
