LOOKING FOR MAWBY'S
MY GREAT GRANDPARENTS JOHN AND ANNIE HERBERT HAD A SON BEFORE THEY WERE MARRIED CALLED ARTHUR MAWBY. ANNIES MAIDEN NAME WAS MAWBY. JOHN AND ANNIE WENT ON TO HAVE 4 MORE CHILDREN AFTER THEY WERE MARRIED - ALBERT, BLAND,JOHN CHARLES AND LILIAN - ALL WITH THE SURNAME HERBERT. ARE THERE ANY MAWBYS OUT THERE? THEY LIVED IN WIGSTON,LUTTERWORTH AND LEICESTER IN THE EARY 1900'S. ARTHUR AND ALBERT HAD A KNIFE MANUFACTURING BUSINESS.

There were Mawbys in Leicestershire from the 1500's.
A member of the de Mautby family of Mautby Hall in Norfolk moved to South Kilworth Leicestershire and most Leics and Northants Mawbys in and around the area can be traced back to this line.
Who were Annie's parents and Mawby grandparents?
My Father emigrated to Australia in the early 1950's
Antony Gurney-Mawby he was from Leicester
I was born in Box Hill Vic (Australia)
and now live north of Sydney NSW
Hope that helps
Ps the was a batch of Mawby's in Dubbo NSW murdered in 1900
