Back to the Quibell Family of Newark, Nottinghamshire

During my research into the Sneath family, I found that John Wesley SNEATH, brother of Edwin Cartwright SNEATH married Lucy Maria QUIBELL, daughter of William QUIBELL & Ann Oliver. The marriage took place on 30 September 1879 • at the Wesleyan Chapel, Newark, Nottinghamshire, England
Stamford Mercury - Friday 03 October 1879 MARRIED: At the Wesleyan Chapel, Newark, on the 30th ult., John W. SNEATH, Stamford, to Lucy Maria, youngest daughter of Mr. W. Quibell of the above place.

So I started a Family tree of the Quibell Family in Newark, and soon discovered that they owned Chemical Business. In fact John Wesley Sneath & his wife Lucy Maria emigrated to Australia, where John became the Quibell company's representative there. He visited agricultural shows in Australia to see the products of the Quibell company.
Lucy QUIBELL was born on a farm in Walkeringham, Nottinghamshire- she is in the 1861 census, with a father called William, a farmer and a mother called Ann, whose maiden name was OLIVER, so all the sons have her surname as their second forename.

1861 census for Lucy Maria QUIBELL
Nottinghamshire, Walkeringham, District 4
Entry 4: Carfield Farm
William QUIBELL, Head, Married, 55, Farmer of 325 acres, employing 3 labourers, born East Markham, Notts
Ann QUIBELL, wife, Married, 49, born Stapleford, Lincs.
 John O QUIBELL, son, single, 19, Farmer’s Son, born Gateford, Notts.
James O QUIBELL, son, single, 12, Scholar, born Barnby le Willows, Notts.
Hannah QUIBELL, daughter, single, 7, Scholar, born Walkeringham, Notts.
Lucy QUIBELL daughter, 6, born Walkeringham, Notts.
Lewis WATSON, servant, single, 25, Carter, born Long Bennington, Lincs.
Joseph ATKINSON, servant, single, 18, Carter, born Kirkstead, Lincs.
Robert HORTON, servant, single, 18, Carter, born Swinderby, Lincs.
John ROBINSON, servant, single, 15, Carter, born Torksay, Lincs.
Sarah TURNER, servant, single, 21, House Servant, born Sutton on Trent Notts.



William QUIBELL, Lucy's father was born in East Markham, Nottinghamshire on 14 October 1805, so  around the time of  Battle of Trafalgar as the son of William QUIBELL and his wife Hannah Blagg. His father was also a farmer.  He married Ann OLIVER on the 11th September 1831 in Newark, Nottinghamshire. Then they move to Gateford, just outside Worksop, as we can see from the 1841 Census below.

Above is a fairly modern map showing the proximity of Gateford to Worksop in the 20th Century. However now is a map showing the same area in 1884 & 1885, still quite a long time after the family had left the area. This map is from NLS maps-which shows that Gateford Cottages where the Quibell family were living in 1841 with William as the farmer was part of the Gateford Hall estate. 

 So in the 1841 Census their family looked like this, with very little information and a rounding up of the ages of the people in the census. It seems that although William starts off in East Markham, in Nottinghamshire,  I have found this article about Gateford Hill & Gateford Hall-http://www.bassetlaw.gov.uk/media/624871/UPG14-Gateford-Hall-Gateford-Hill.pdf

When you look at the census of 1841,

 1841 Census for William QUIBELL: Nottinghamshire: Worksop: District 10
Gateford Cottages:
1. William QUIBELL, 30, Farmer, born in Notts.
Ann QUIBELL, 25, Born in Notts.
William QUIBELL, 7, Born in Notts.
Ann QUIBELL, 5, born in Notts.
Joseph QUIBELL, 3, born in Notts.
James QUIBELL, 11months, born in Notts.
William Coe, 20, Mans Servant, born Notts.
Sarah Cook, 15, Female Servant, born Notts.
Now when you look at the previous page of that census you can see the Machin family living in Gateford Hill, and there is also Gateford Hall and the Toll Bar Keeper as well.

So in 1841, 10 years after William & Ann married the QUIBELL family are living in Gateford Cottages, Gateford, Notts., with 4 children and 2 servants. William the father is the farmer with 2 servants.

So let me finish William Quibell, father before going onto the the children. I know they are interlinked, so where the children go when young that's where the parents are, but as it is such a large family, the first born is married and living away from the family whilst the youngest is still at home.
Actually when William is living in Gateford in 1841, his parents, William & Hannah Quibell are living as farmer & farmer's wife in Carlton in Lindrick

I know that is his parents because of these articles in the newspapers after 1841.

Lincolnshire Chronicle - Friday 29 December 1854

At Waddington, on the 15th inst., aged 71, Hannah, wife of Mr. Wm. QUIBELL, late of Carlton, near Worksop

Obituary: We notice in our obituary of this day the death of Mrs. QUIBELL, of Waddington, who, for upwards of forty years was a constant member of the Wesleyan Society, a class leader, and a missionary collector. The deceased, who took great delight in visiting the sick, was of philanthropic and Christian disposition, and much respected by a large circle of friends by whom her death is deeply regretted.

Lincolnshire Chronicle - Friday 31 May 1867

DEATHS

On the 23^rd inst., in Newport, Lincoln, Mr. W. QUIBELL, formerly a farmer at Carlton-in-Lindrick, aged 94.

Anyway getting back to William, their son, who in 1841 was in Gateford, in 1851, 10 years later was in Barnby  the Willows, not far away and visible on that modern map above. The census of 1851, shows that they must have moved around 1843, because their son Thomas was born there on 23 December 1843. 

Actually the census of 1861, gives the clue as to which Barnby William & his family moved to, not Barnby Moor, but Barnby  the Willows

Actually the place name is Barnby in the Willows. 

So the census of 1851, shows William & his family in Barnby the Willows:

1851 census for William QUIBEL(L)

Nottinghamshire, Barnby, district 8

William QUIBELL, Head, Married, 45, Farmer of 115 acres, with 2 labourers,born East Markham, NOTTS

Ann QUIBELL, wife, married, 34, born Stapleford, Lincs.

Ann QUIBELL, daughter, single, 15, born Gateford, Notts.

Joseph O QUIBELL, son, single, 13, scholar, born Gateford, Notts.

John O QUIBELL, son, single, 9, scholar, born Gateford, Notts.

Thomas O QUIBELL, son, single, 7, born Barnby, Notts.

Mary H QUIBELL, daughter, single, 4, born Barnby, Notts.

James O QUIBELL, son, 2, born Barnby, Notts.

Mary OLIVER, Mother-in-law, widow, 74, Annuitant, born Edwalton, Notts.

William DICKINSON, servant, single, 23, Agricultural Servant, borm Bennington, Lincs.

George Hasterley, servant, single, 19, Agricultural Servant, born Barlaston, Notts.

Elizabeth Anteliff, servant, 18, General Servant, born Bennington, Lincs.

So children, Thomas Oliver,  Mary Holmes & James Oliver Quibell, were all born in Barnby the Willows, prior to 1851. 

There is a Georgian Farmhouse on the map called Barnby Hall. Anyway, William & his family then move onto Walkeringham further north-they go there about 1852, because their daughter Hannah Elizabeth was born there on 5 November 1852 at Carfield Farm. This is the village of Walkeringham in Nottinghamshire.

William was a Wesleyan local preacher, and I have found a couple of articles about him preaching in his village of Walkeringham. Stamford Mercury - Friday 06 June 1851

On the 29th ult., the children of the Wesleyan Sunday School at Norwell had their annual feast. After going in procession around the village they returned to the chapel where they were regaled with plum cake and tea. In the evening the congregation were addressed in a very appropriate manner by Mr. Randerson and Mr. Knight from Newark. And on Sunday last, two sermons were preached in the same place, in the aid of the above institution by Mr. QUIBELL of Barnby, when the chapel was crowded to excess.

Stamford Mercury - Friday 18 June 1852

GRINGLEY:-

Sermons in behalf of the Sabbath Schools at Sturton le Steeple were preached on Sunday last by Mr. QUIBELL of Walkeringham in the Wesleyan Chapel there. The collections were liberal.

In the below picture of Walkeringham centre you can see they had a Wesleyan Methodist Church in the village.

The area of the village near St Mary Magdalene Church was called Church End, and Carfield Farm was close to that area of the village.

A description of the land farmed by William QUIBELL at Walkeringham, land he didn't own, but farmed.
Lincolnshire Chronicle - Friday 02 January 1857

Nottinghamshire Guardian - Thursday 13 August 1857
BINGHAM: On Sunday last, two sermons were preached in the Wesleyan Chapel by Mr. QUIBELL of Walkeringham for the benefit of the Sunday School. Collections were made after each sermon, amounting to the liberal sum of £7.
Then a more sad article showing that William & his family were in Walkeringham in 1859:
Then this article in a local newspaper:
Stamford Mercury - Friday 15 April 1859
DIED: At Walkeringham, on the 8th inst., Miss Ann QUIBELL, daughter of Mr. Wm. QUIBELL, farmer, aged 23.

We know he didn't move out from this property because of the entry above in the 1861 Census for Lucy Maria QUIBELL, wife of John Wesley SNEATH. Also this article clearly about the committal of a prisoner for murder.

Nottingham Journal - Saturday 31 March 1860
William QUIBELL, farmer of Walkeringham, said “I remember the morning of Tuesday the 6th inst., the morning before the murder was committed. I was going to Gainsborough market that day, and on the road overtook the prisoner, who was going in the direction of Gainsborough, in company with John Graves Jnr., and James Fenton. I observed how the prisoner was dressed; he had on a very dark coat (I believe it was black); it was very much cut off at the tails. I couldn’t see his trousers, because he had overalls on, which looked as if they had never been had on before since they came from the wash. Neither of the coats produced is the one the prisoner had on. The cloth coat produced is not so good as that he had on. He also wore a hat with a mourning band on it”

Nottinghamshire Guardian - Thursday 05 April 1860
The Murder at Walkeringham
On Friday morning last, John Fenton, was brought up before the magistrates at Retford Charged with the wilful murder of Charles Spencer. The following justices were present: Rev. W. B. Simpson, C. Thorold and Benjamin Huntsman Esqs.
John Collingwood, blacksmith and Mr. Raynes, surgeon, Mr. Wm. Henry Raynes and Mr. William QUIBELL deposed that they were aware the prisoner was in possession of a pair of pistols, like these found beside the murdered man but could not swear positively  these produced were the same  they had seen in the prisoner’s possession.

It looks like his home in 1861 was going to be enlarged:Stamford Mercury - Friday 30 August 1861
CONTRACT-TO BUILDERS
Persons desirous of CONTRACTING for various works required in the ENLARGEMENT of a HOUSE and OUTBUILDINGS at WALKERINGHAM in the occupation of Mr. W. QUIBELL, may see Plans, Specifications &c., at the said Mr. Quibell’s farm, from Thursday the 29th inst., until Monday, September 2nd inclusive. Tenders to be delivered at the office of Messrs. Heaton and Oldman solicitors, Gainsboro’, not later than 4 O’ clock p.m., September 3rd. The proprietors do not bind themselves to accept the lowest or any Tender, and no allowance for Tenders. John WINTER, Thorner near Leeds, August 16th, 1861

So the census of 1861 shows where William & his family were living in that year
1861 census for Lucy Maria QUIBELL
Nottinghamshire, Walkeringham, District 4
Entry 4: Carfield Farm
William QUIBELL, Head, Married, 55, Farmer of 325 acres, employing 3 labourers, born East Markham, Notts
Ann QUIBELL, wife, Married, 49, born Stapleford, Lincs.
 John O QUIBELL, son, single, 19, Farmer’s Son, born Gateford, Notts.
James O QUIBELL, son, single, 12, Scholar, born Barnby le Willows, Notts.
Hannah QUIBELL, daughter, single, 7, Scholar, born Walkeringham, Notts.
Lucy QUIBELL daughter, 6, born Walkeringham, Notts.
Lewis WATSON, servant, single, 25, Carter, born Long Bennington, Lincs.
Joseph ATKINSON, servant, single, 18, Carter, born Kirkstead, Lincs.
Robert HORTON, servant, single, 18, Carter, born Swinderby, Lincs.
John ROBINSON, servant, single, 15, Carter, born Torksay, Lincs.
Sarah TURNER, servant, single, 21, House Servant, born Sutton on Trent Notts.
 Certainly between 1861 & 1871, William & his family remain in Walkeringham, because the census of 1871, finds them in that village still. However, sometime after 1871, William & Ann move to Balderton, near Newark, because, William retires from farming
Stamford Mercury - Friday 04 April 1879
BALDERTON, Notts:
To be let, with possession at Old Lady-Day, A Commodious House, now occupied by Mr. Wm. QUIBELL, containing kitchen, two parlours, five rooms, W.C., Gig-house and stable, with Garden, and an acre of grassland: Rent £25 

Certainly in 1881 Census, all the family have left home, so it's no wonder that William move to Newark and retire there. So William died on 27 October 1883 as this articles states:
Stamford Mercury - Friday 02 November 1883
DEATHS:
Newark, 27th October, in New Sleaford Road, William QUIBELL, 78.
This left his wife Ann, a widow-she remained in Newark throughout the the 1880's and 1890', so that in the census of 1901, she was still a widow living at 15, Wellington Road, Newark aged 89.
In the end she died in Newark on 26th November 1901.

So their first born child was William OLIVER Quibell, born 5 October 1833, in Gateford, Nottinghamshire.& then christened at Worksop on 1 November 1833, as son of William & Ann Quibell. Ten years later, in 1851,in the census of that year, when he was 17 years of age, he was an apprentice chemist in a shop in Stodman Street, Newark-upon-Trent.This was the same place that my great grandfather Thomas Dixon SNEATH served his apprenticeship.

Then I found this record for William: Marriages:(Nottingham Journal - Saturday 29 December 1860

QUIBELL-BERRIE: On the 20th inst., at Hurst Church, by the Rev. A. A. Cameron, William Oliver QUIBELL, of Newark-on-Trent, chemist & druggist, to Eleanor Boyd Berrie, of the Hermitage, Twyford, Berks, eldest daughter of the late Mr. Charles James Berrie, of Tamworth, Warwickshire.

So although Eleanor Boyd Berrie was born in Tamworth, Warwickshire, she was staying with her cousin William Foot Mount of "The Hermitage",  65, London Rd, Twyford, Berkshire before she married William Oliver QUIBELL. The Hermitage, located in Twyford, Berkshire dates back to the Queen Anne period with later Victorian extensions. This grand and prominent home situated within the conservation area of Twyford is a house listed as local historic interest.

Berkshire Chronicle - Saturday 29 December 1860 Married

In fact her father had died in 1852. Anyway after their marriage they travel back to Newark on Trent to their home and business in Stodman Street.

In the census of 1861:
1861 Census for William O. QUIBELL: Nottinghamshire: Newark: District 15:
4, Stodman Street, Newark:
William O. QUIBELL, Head, Married, 27, Chemist & Druggist, born Gateford, Nottinghamshire.

William in 1861 is becoming established as a chemist, working from his shop in Stodman Street, Newark-he has 3 apprentices in his business, from a variety of towns in England.

Then in the following year, William was elected to a jury for the Quarter Sessions at Newark. He was one of a number of local men who as you can see were tradespeople in the town of Newark.

DEATH OF MR. W. O. QUIBELL, J.P.:- On Monday at his residence, Highfield, Newark, the death occurred of Mr. William Oliver QUIBELL, head partner in the well-known firm of sheep-dip manufacturers and agricultural merchants, Messrs. Quibell Bros. Newark. Mr. Quibell was 65 years of age, and spent a useful and active life in commercial pursuits. He was at one time a member of the Newark Board of Guardians; and of the School Board; of the Town Council, and for many years an Alderman of the Borough Bench. Mr. Quibell was a prominent member of the Wesleyan Church, a representative to the Conference and thrice selected of one of the eighteen laymen who take part in the Legislation of the Wesleyan Connection. He was a trustee of most of the chapels in the Newark circuit and for many years a local preacher and class leader and his services have been in great request as Chairman of District Meetings and Church anniversaries. Some time ago he had a paralytic seizure and although for a time he rallied he was taken worse a few days since and passed away on Monday afternoon. The funeral took place on Thursday in Newark cemetery in the presence of a large and representative gathering. The chief mourners were Mrs. QUIBELL (widow), Mr. Oliver QUIBELL, Mr. & Mrs. W. B. B. QUIBELL, Mr. and Mrs. Bainbridge(Newcastle), Mr. & Mrs Holmes (Hull), Mr. Arthur Bainbridge, Mr. T. O. Quibell, Mrs. Oliver QUIBELL, Mr. John QUIBELL, and Mr. James QUIBELL. There was a large attendance of friends. A special form of service was used participating ministers being Revs. Joseph Bush, G.C.M. FISH, J. Stringer, J.E. Pater, and S. Mort. The coffin was of panelled oak with brass fittings, and the inscription was “William Oliver QUIBELL, born October 5th, 1833, died August 30th, 1897”. The bearers were all old servants, employee, amongst those attending the funeral also being travellers and clerks of the firm. A large number of choice wreaths were sent from all parts of the country, bearing inscriptions to the widespread esteem in which the deceased was held.

 told the story in an obituary in 1897 -

 'William Oliver Quibell (1833-1897) was born at Gateford, near Worksop, in 1833 and was therefore nearing his 64th year. His family had been farmers for generations in the Newark area, but he was articled to Mr Harvey. Eight years later he became a partner in the firm, which was thenceforth known as Harvey & Quibell. The business was originally founded by the late Mr James Snow in 1814. On the death of Mr John Harvey the style was changed to Quibell Brothers, Mr Thomas O Quibell having joined some years previously. Two sons of Alderman Quibell have since entered the business. The deceased was a Wesleyan Methodist and had filled most of the offices open to a layman in that Church. For a number of years he was a lay reader and a class leader. He had been Circuit Steward and at the time of his death was district Treasurer of the Foreign Missionary Society. He was elected a representative to the conference held at Bradford in 1878, the first to which laymen were admitted. Three times since, he was one of the 18 laymen chosen by the Conference itself to be members of the Representative Session. To the last, he took the deepest interest in the work of the Church. The new Sunday Schools which the Wesleyans are going to build were constantly in his mind during the last part of his life, and he gladly contributed towards the cost. He was for years a prominent member of the School Board of the Board of Guardians, a member of the Town Council and an Alderman. In 1884 he was chosen Mayor. Appointed a JP for the Borough some years ago, he frequently attended the Bench, always administering Justice with impartiality and tempering it with mercy. Since his death, the Town Hall flag has been at half-mast, also those at the Ram Hotel and on other buildings in the town. Under a memorial window in Barnby Gate Methodist Church is the inscription - 'To the glory of God and in loving memory of William Oliver Quibell, Mayor of Newark 1884-5, this window is dedicated by his daughter Eleanor Mary Bainbridge.' He was a devout Christian and an earnest Wesleyan Methodist, who served his Church faithfully in every lay office'.

So now we can get back to the other children of William QUIBELL and his wife Ann OLIVER.
Their second child was a daughter whom they named Ann, after the forename of William's wife Ann.
She was born on 6 September 1835 at Gateford, Nottinghamshire & christened at Worksop, on 17 September 1835. In the census of 1841 she was at home with her parents and family at Gateford Cottages. Ten years later in 1851 census, she is at Barnby, Notts with her family. Her grandmother, Mary Oliver is with the family too, living on her husband's will.

Then this article in a local newspaper:
Stamford Mercury - Friday 15 April 1859
DIED: At Walkeringham, on the 8th inst., Miss Ann QUIBELL, daughter of Mr. Wm. QUIBELL, farmer, aged 23.

Now for their third child, a son named Joseph Oliver QUIBELL.

First a brief history that Ancestry puts together from my information about him:

When Joseph Oliver Quibell was born on 28 June 1837 in Gateford, Nottinghamshire, his father, William, was 31 and his mother, Ann, was 25. He married Mary Ellen Layne and they had three children together. He then married Sarah Morrison Sackett and they had two children together. He died on 1 June 1906 in Salem, New Jersey, USA, at the age of 68.

He was born on 28th June 1837 at Gateford Cottages, Gateford, Nottinghamshire-that's a place near Worksop. He was christened in Worksop on 24 November 1837 as son of William & Ann Oliver of Gateford a farmer.In point of fact Gateford is a part of Worksop, not far away is Carlton in Lindrick & Barnby Moor.

His sister Martha Holmes Quibell was born on 26 March 1839 in Gateford, Nottinghamshire, when Joseph  when Oliver was 1 year old.
His sister Martha Holmes died on 28 December 1839 when Joseph Oliver was 2 years old. 
His brother James Oliver was born on 21 June 1840 in Worksop, Nottinghamshire, when Joseph Oliver was 2 years old.

In the 1841 Census he was of course living with his family:-

In the census of 1851, Joseph Oliver is with his family In Barnby, Nottinghamshire

Much more information in the 1851 census, second forenames of sons, with William's mother-in-law & his wife's mother living with them as well. You can see that the family were in Gateford for a while then moved to Barnby, Notts.
 Then 10 years later, Joseph is still with his family but now in Barnby, with his father still a farmer. Now there are 4 other siblings in the household.

His sister Lucy Maria was born on 9 February 1854 in Walkeringham, Nottinghamshire, when Joseph Oliver was 16 years old.
His sister Hannah was born in 1854 in Walkeringham, Nottinghamshire, when Joseph Oliver was 17 years old.

 Meanwhile, sometime between 1854 and 1858, Joseph went to London where he married.
Joseph Oliver Quibell married Mary Ellen Layne in St Marylebone, Middlesex, on 26 September 1858 when he was 21 years old.

1858 Marriage Solemnized at St Mary's Church in the Parish of St Marylebone, Middlesex.
176: September 26, 1858, Joseph Oliver QUIBELL, of full age, Bachelor, Draper, 25,  Montague Street, son of William QUIBELL, farmer & Mary Ellen LAYNE, of full age, spinster, of 25, Montague St, daughter of Thomas LAYNE, an Inn Keeper were married by licence in presence of John Snowdon & Helen Wharton. Her father, Thomas Layne in the 1851 census was the Inn keeper of White Swan in Silver Street, Gainsborough born 1789 he died in 1866.

His son Joseph Layne Quibell was born in March 1859 in Woolwich, Kent. Then his sister Ann died on 8 April 1859 when Joseph Oliver was 21 years old.Then his son Thomas Oliver QUIBELL was born in April 1861.
Joseph Oliver Quibell lived in Newark-on-Trent, Nottinghamshire, in 1861.

Joseph Oliver QUIBELL in 1861 census: Nottinghamshire, Newark on Trent, District 05
Entry 110: Whitfield Street,
Joseph O QUIBELL, Head, Married, 23, Linen Drapers Assistant, born Gateford, Notts.
Mary E. QUIBELL, wife, Married, 28, born Gainsborough, Lincs.
Thomas O. QUIBELL, son, 5 months,  born Newark, Notts.

Then his daughter Annie Susannah QUIBELL, was born on 22 September 1862 in Waddington, Lincolnshire.

Then comes Joseph's departure from his wife and family when he emigrates to New York, USA.

The next record we have of him is this:Joseph Oliver Quibell married Sarah Morrison Sackett in Brooklyn, New York, USA, on 21 May 1865 when he was 27 years old.

Married: QUIBELL-SACKETT-On May 21st, by the Rev. J. D. Phillips, J. O. Quibell, of England to Miss Sarah Morrison Sackett, youngest daughter of the late James H. Sackett, of New York. The source for this marriage is the Brooklyn Eagle The Brooklyn Daily Eagle: 25 June 1865, https://bklyn.newspapers.com/title_1890/the_brooklyn_daily_eagle/

Meanwhile, back in England, his wife Mary Ellen was left with 3 children to care for.
John Oliver QUIBELL in 1871 Census: Lincolnshire, Gainsborough, District 10:
Entry 40: Bridge Street, Gainsborough:
John Oliver QUIBELL, Head, Married, 33, Draper Master, born Gateford, Notts.
Mary Ellen QUIBELL, wife, Married, 39, born Gainsboro, Lincs.
Joseph Layne QUIBELL, Son, Unmarried, 12, scholar, born Woolwich, Middlesex
Thomas Oliver QUIBELL, son, Unmarried, 10, Scholar, born Newark, Nottingham.
Annie Susannah QUIBELL, daughter, Un, 8, Scholar, born Waddington, Lincolnshire
Sarah Ann Winterburn, Servant, Unmarried, 20, born Stow, Lincs.

In that census of 1871, she is living with her brother-in-law, John Oliver QUIBELL, who in this census is shown to be a Draper Master. The census says that they are married,, with children of Joseph Layne, Thomas Oliver & Annie Susannah QUIBELL, but so far I can't find their marriage record, so he may just have agreed to live with his brother's wife and look after her children. Certainly the census identifies John Oliver as being the brother of Joseph Oliver, because it says he was born in Gateford, Notts. It might have happened that Joseph Oliver asked his brother to look after his wife and children as he felt the marriage was over but did not or could not get a divorce. He came from a strict Wesleyan Family.  The odd thing is that John Oliver QUIBELL in 1861, is a farmer's son, whereas in the 1871 census he is shown as a Master Draper, so has taken over the occupation of Joseph QUIBELL who also was a draper. Then, in 1872, another Quibell son is born to John Oliver Quibell & Mary Ellen QUIBELL nee LAYNE. This child was named William Rannard QUIBELL, so no Oliver this time. (in 1891 census it shows him as aged 19, an imbecile since birth)

Just found this article in a local newspaper:

Sheffield Daily Telegraph - Wednesday 07 October 1874
GAINSBOROUGH PETTY SESSIONS: TUESDAY Before G A Luard, Esq., and Lieut. Col HUTTON.
Protection Order-Mrs. QUIBELL, haberdasher, Gainsborough, applied for and obtained an order to protect her property from her husband J O QUIBELL, who had deserted her. Just wonder who J O Quibell was -must be Joseph Oliver I would think, not John Oliver QUIBELL, whom I don't think was her husband anyway. It appears that Mary Ellen QUIBELL has sensed somehow that her husband, Joseph Oliver, who deserted her well before 1874 and went to USA leaving her to cope with her family & his business, set  out to make sure that if her husband came back to England he could not take over her quite thriving business. In point of fact Joseph had left her at least 10 years previous to this order as this article in the New York Herald shows.;
 Saturday, February 27, 1864   Paper: New York Herald (New York, New York)   Page: 12 : List of Letters remaining in the New York Post Office:  addressees J. O. Quibell. So Joseph Oliver had left UK prior to February 1864, and persons in UK, knowing he was in New York had sent him letters, which were kept in New York Post Office. Most likely they knew he was in New York, but of course probably moved around that area, renting places as he went, so not able to say exactly where he was all the time.
Certainly his son, Joseph Layne knew his father was still a draper & not deceased when he married Clara Morgan in 1885.

1885 Marriage solemnized at Trinity Church, in the Parish of Marylebone, in the County of Middlesex
495: 24th June 1885, Joseph Layne QUIBELL, 26, Bachelor, Chemist & Druggist, of Gainsborough, Lincolnshire son of Joseph Oliver QUIBELL, draper & Clara MORGAN, 20, spinster, of 142, Portland St, daughter of James MORGAN, Engineer were married by Banns, in presence of James MORGAN & Ellen MORGAN. Note that Joseph knows his father as a draper and he is not deceased.

Here's an odd census.

In the 1891  Census

1891 Census for Mary Ellen QUIBELL: Lincolnshire, Gainsborough, District 7

Entry 316: 76, Trinity Street, Gainsborough

Mary E. QUIBELL, Head, Widow, 57, Draper, born Gainsborough, Lincs.

William R. QUIBELL, son, Single, 19, born Gainsborough, Lincs, Imbecile since birth.

Joseph L QUIBELL, son, unmarried, 26, Born Woolwich, Kent

Clara QUIBELL, daughter-in-law, Unmarried, 49, born Hammersmith, London.

 Note that despite being married to Clara Morgan in 1885, the census of 1891 shows them to be unmarried-so that must be a clerical error! 

Then in 1876, John Oliver QUIBELL marries an Ann Elizabeth HALL-
Pall Mall Gazette - Tuesday 07 March 1876 Marriages: QUIBELL-HALL At Granby, Mr. John O. Quibell, Stapleford House, near Newark to Annie E. daughter of Mr. Matthew HALL, Granby, Nottinghamshire, March 2. 

He then starts a family of his own-he is living at a farm on  Stapleford Hall, near Newark.
Cecil Leavers QUIBELL born October 1878 & Blanche Rosaline Quibell born 1880.

Some articles in the local newspaper add information about him.

Nottinghamshire Guardian - Friday 11 February 1876
2 horses belonging to Mr. John Quibell of Stapleford were found to have been poisoned with arsenic administered by a servant to make their coats look bright. John Quibell the owner was given compensation of £50 when the horses worth together £150 died.
Stamford Mercury - Friday 02 February 1877
The surveyor reported that the banks of the River Witham in fields in the occupation of Messrs. R. Hornsby & Son had burst. It was ordered that they be requested to repair the same at once. The surveyor reported that John QUIBELL, of Stapleford, had cut the banks of the River Witham in a meadow of his occupation at Beckingham, and had thereby caused certain land in the occupation of Mr. Gibson to be flooded. It was ordered that the said John Quibell be summoned to appear at the next court to show cause why he should not be fined. The court was then adjourned until May 7th

John Oliver QUIBELL in 1881 census: Lincolnshire, Stapleford, District 6
John Oliver QUIBELL, Head, Married, 39, Farmer of 500 acres employing 12 labourers and 5 boys, born Gateford, Notts.
Annie Elizabeth QUIBELL, wife, Married, 38, Farmer’s Wife, born Granby, Notts.
Cecil Leavers QUIBELL, son, single, 2, Born Stapleford, Lincs.
Blanche Rosaline QUIBELL, daughter, 4 months, born Stapleford, Lincs.

4 servants

So you see that by 1881, John's responsibility for his brother's wife and family has ended, so that would have had to cope with life themselves. 

Grantham Journal - Saturday 13 November 1897

The bank of the River Witham at Stapleford, which had been reported some months ago, on lands in occupation of Mr. John QUIBELL, had not yet been repaired. The court ordered a notice be sent to Mr. Quibell to carry out the repairs.

Grantham Journal Saturday 18 February 1899
NEWARK: Death of Mr. John Oliver QUIBELL.
We regret to announce the death of Mr. John Oliver QUIBELL, brother of the late Mr. W. O. QUIBELL, J. P. Mr. QUIBELL, who was fifty-eight years of age, had been in failing health for some time, but the news of his demise came as a great shock to his many friends. He represented Stapleford on the Newark Board of Guardians for a considerable period, and was a very capable and well-known agriculturalist, much respected by all who had the pleasure of his acquaintance. Like the other members of his family, he was a valued supporter of the Wesleyan Cause.

Meanwhile in USA, Joseph Oliver QUIBELL and his new wife Sarah Morrison QUIBELL nee Sackett, have two children, both sons, firstly Joseph QUIBELL born 1867 in Brooklyn, then Seaborn Quebell born 1870. I don't have an Ancestry account to trace US records but I do use Family Search instead. I have also been using the Brooklyn Eagle for records about them.

Joseph Quibell, was born 10 June 1867, in Brooklyn, Kings, New York, United States. (Source New York, New York City Births, 1846-1909," database, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:2W35-WLY )

The 1870 US Census has this record for this young family:

Source: United States Census, 1870," database with images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:M8NH-1ZC in the household of Johana Bergen)
Note that even in the 1870 census, Sarah Morrison Quibell & her young 3 year old son, Joseph do not have their father Joseph Oliver Quibell with them in this census. 
Then in the New York Census, five years later in 1875, another son is with the same family of 2, now making 3:
Joseph W Quiball, Census 1875 in Brooklyn, Kings, New York, United States

Jurush Goodall Self F 60
Sarah M Quiball Sister F 27
Joseph W Quiball Son M 7
Seaborn Quiball Son M 4
So in this census, the family are in the household of Jerusha Goodall, who I think I found was Sarah Morrison’s mother.  (Source: United States Census, 1870," database with images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:M8NH-1ZC :)
Again though, Joseph Oliver, father and husband is not present with this family in this census.
So the next son was named Seaborn, quite an unusual forename, not used I am sure in Britain.

Then in 1875, the year following this census an event occurs in Brooklyn that has a marked effect of the lives of this young family.
“On the evening of December 5, 1876, a catastrophic fire broke out at The Brooklyn Theatre in the city of Brooklyn, (now a borough of New York City). The conflagration killed at least 278 individuals, with some accounts reporting more than 300 dead. One hundred and three unidentified victims were interred in a common grave at Green-Wood Cemetery. An obelisk near the main entrance at Fifth Avenue and 25th Street marks the burial site. More than two dozen identified victims were interred individually in separate sections at the Cemetery of the Evergreens in Brooklyn.
Fatalities mainly arose in the family circle, typically the highest tier of seats in a theatre and offering the least expensive seating. Only one stairway served this gallery, which sustained extreme temperatures and dense, suffocating smoke early in the conflagration. The stairway jammed with people, cutting off the escape of more than half of the gallery's occupants, who quickly succumbed to smoke inhalation”
Many years after this event, Joseph’s family are badly affected by it as reported in the Brooklyn Eagle on several occasions.
Brooklyn Eagle 5 April 1893:
"S. G. QUIBELL, of 472, Madison Avenue, a brother of the unfortunate man says that both his brother and mother are insane and he will take immediate steps to have them placed under proper surveillance. Joseph W. QUIBELL is a member of the firm of CONRON & QUIBELL, who are manufacturing chemists at 18 Platt-street, New York. His mind has been disordered for the last seven or eight months and early last fall he became violent. His father was Joseph Walter QUIBELL, a commercial traveller, who was burned to death in the Brooklyn theatre disaster of 1876. This shock unsettled his wife's mind to such an extent that she has never since been considered entirely responsible for her conduct.

Five years later in the 1880 Census, again the family are with Sarah's mother and note Joseph Oliver is still not with them.

Brooklyn Eagle 5 April 1893
TWO WANDERING LUNATICS
Who tried to obtain Summer Lodgings at Patchogue
Mother and Son are both Unbalanced
ON THEIR FAILURE TO TAKE POSSESSION OF THE QUARTERS THEY HAD SECURED BY LETTER, THEY RETURNED TO BROOKLYN AND MOVED INTO A FLAT THEY HAD NOT HIRED. THE SON SPENDS PART OF HIS TIME IN A TRANCE AND THE REST FIGHTING WITH HIS MOTHER-THE HUSBAND AND FATHER OF THE PAIR-JOSEPH W. QUIBELL, WHO WAS BURNED TO DEATH IN THE BROOKLYN THEATER FIRE-THEY WILL BE TAKEN CARE OF.
Investigation in the case of Joseph Walter QUIBELL and his mother still further confirms belief that both are insane and on this hypothesis only are the strange actions of the pair satisfactorily accounted for. Early Saturday morning Mrs QUIBELL and her son are said to have made their appearance in a coach at the door of Mrs. Deborah Bell’s summer lodging house on Railroad Avenue, in the village of Patchogue. Quibell was lying on the floor of the vehicle, seemingly in a trance, and his mother’s explanations of his condition were so incoherent that the landlady refused them accommodation, although they had previously written and secured quarters there. After being also turned away from Roo’s hotel, the coachman drove off with his strange load. Where he went no one knows, but at 4:30pm, on Monday a coach drove up in front of William H. Friday’s real estate office at 243 Reid Avenue and an elderly woman alighted and asked Mr. Friday’s clerk for the key of the adjoining flat at 243 Reid Avenue. She said she was Mrs. J. W. Quiibell, and that Mr. Friday had given her permission to occupy the flat. As Mr. Friday was absent, the clerk, accepting her story as true, told her to take possession of the premises. The neighbors were not a little surprised when they saw the occupants of the coach, a slender young man of medium height, lifted in the arms of a policeman and one or two bystanders and carried upstairs. The flat they occupied was the second one in a brick structure, the lower floor of which is used for a Chinese laundry. They brought no furniture with them beyond a few bundles, and a cot was purchased from a neighbouring furniture store for the accommodation of the sick man. About 8’ o’clock in the evening, the other tenants in the house and some men lounging on the street, near the doorway, heard a woman’s scream and the noise of a scuffle in the hallway above. They found Mrs. QUIBELL struggling with her son in the hall. He was grasping her by the throat and arm and his hold was only loosed with difficulty: his actions were those of an insane man and his mother’s explanation of the affair was almost unintelligible.
An EAGLE reporter called at the flat this morning. The door was opened by a small, nervous woman, whose iron gray hair was twisted on curl papers. She said she was Mrs. Quibell. Her conversation was disconnected and incoherent. “It’s all a lie, It’s all a lie” she began excitedly, without being interrogated and slammed the door of the flat behind her as though she feared intrusion. “This story about my son and I driving around Patchogue on Sunday night and Saturday morning is a lie. We were at a hotel, but I will not say where it was and we stayed there until we came back to Brooklyn. My son is still in a trance and you can’t see him; he sleeps all the time. I don’t know what caused his illness, but I think it was produced by some nervous affliction that followed extraction of a tooth. I would like to get hold of that tooth because it had been filled with gold and I think the dentist used brass instead of gold. I won’t give the dentist’s name. “Is any physician attending your son”? Yes, but I won’t tell who it is”
Mrs. Quibell said she intended to stay in the flat as long as she choose, but through the crack of the door, as she closed it behind her, the bare floors and walls of the apartment gave small signs of permanent occupancy. When Mr. Friday, the agent of the flat was seen he said that the Quibell’s had taken the premises without his permission and that he had notified them to quit this afternoon, threatening in case they refused to communicate with the charities commissioners. Mr. Friday said that Quibell had an income of $50 per week from business interests in New York. On March 10 Mrs Quibell rented five rooms on the second floor of an apartment house on 635 Halsey-street. Her landlord was a Mr. Lupton, who occupied the flat below. Mrs. Lupton was seen at her house this morning and gave a detailed account of the strange conduct of her tenant and the latter’s son. She thinks that both are insane. The young man had a penchant for blowing out lamps and gas jets. The first night after they took possession there was a scuffle between mother and son and Mrs. Lupton went upstairs in response to Mrs. Quibell’s calls to help she found young Quibell, who had been brought into the house in a trancelike condition, sitting bolt upright on the side of the bed. He rushed at her and attempted to drive her from the room. Peace was temporarily restored but in the morning Mrs Quibell had a black eye and an ugly mark on her throat. After that Mrs. Mary Callahan, Mrs. Lupton’s mother, was engaged to stay for a night or two with the Quibells. During the first twenty-four hours which she spent in their company Quibell drank a bottle of milk and ate some jelly. He then relapsed into a trance and for the next two weeks scarcely a mouthful of nourishment passed between his lips. When he left the place on the last of March he was nothing but a skeleton. Mrs Quibell gave up the flat at the request of Mrs. Lupton, and sought quarters in the country with a result that led to the Pachogue visit. During her stay with the Luptons, Dr. Cardoza, of the homoepathic dispensary, on Patchen-avenue, made one visit to the sick man, but was not asked yo repeat his call. He said the case was one of the queerest he had ever seen, but ventured no opinion as to its origin or nature.
"S. G. QUIBELL, of 472, Madison Avenue, a brother of the unfortunate man says that both his brother and mother are insane and he will take immediate steps to have them placed under proper surveillance. Joseph W. QUIBELL is a member of the firm of CONRON & QUIBELL, who are manufacturing chemists at 18 Platt-street, New York. His mind has been disordered for the last seven or eight months and early last fall he became violent. His father was Joseph Walter QUIBELL, a commercial traveller, who was burned to death in the Brooklyn theatre disaster of 1876. This shock unsettled his wife's mind to such an extent that she has never since been considered entirely responsible for her conduct.

Patchogue is a village on the south shore of Long Island in Suffolk County, New York, United States.
Now this article was written in April 1893, but as you can see, Seaborn Quibell, who by this time married, was of the opinion his father was called Joseph Walter QUIBELL, not Joseph Oliver QUIBELL and that he had died in the Brooklyn Theater Fire. Now subsequent article in that same newspaper in April 1893, showed a  lot more of what was happening to that Quibell family in New York.
Brooklyn Eagle Thursday April 6 1893
The Mother and her Son sill occupy their unfurnished flat.
Mrs. Quibell and her crazy son are still occupying the flat at 237 Reid Avenue, of which they unwarrantably took possession on Monday afternoon, but there is a prospect that the premises will be vacated tomorrow morning. Last night William H. Friday, of 243, Reid Avenue, the agent of the flat, sent a letter to the charities commissioners, notifying them that unless they intervened in the case he would reluctantly undertake forcible proceedings in the interest of the owner of the flat. With this end in view he also notified Constable Lewis that his assistance might be required. Soon after he had sent these communications Mr. Friday waited upon by Mrs. Quibell who told him that she was only postponing her departure until a remittance arrived from some source which she neglected to designate.
Yesterday afternoon a well-dressed man, who wore a diamond stud and other external evidences of material prosperity, called at Mr. Friday’s office. He is connected with a well know firm of diamond merchants in New York and gave his name to Mr. Friday in confidence. He said that he had been intimate with Quibell, whom he described as a young man of fascinating presence and attractive manners, whose insanity was due to worry over business troubles and to the anxiety caused by his mother’s unfortunate mental condition. Quibell’s age was 26 and he had for some time represented trade of Conron & Quibell, the New York drug firm, as a travelling salesman. He belonged to Kings County wheelmen and was recognized as one of the best riders and most popular members on the roll book of that organization. S. G. QUIBELL, the brother of the insane man did not call at the flat yesterday, as far as can be learned, and no relative of the family has taken any steps in the matter.

Brooklyn Eagle 7 April, 1893
THE QUIBELLS ARRESTED
Mother and Son taken to Raymond Street Jail
The young man was still in a trance and could not be roused-Both will be examined as to their Mental condition by the County Physician.
There was legal interference this morning in the case of Mrs. Sarah M. QUIBELL and her insane son Joseph W. QUIBELL. Both are at present in Raymond-street jail awaiting examination by the county physician. S. G. QUIBELL of 472 Madison Avenue, the woman’s other son, who has hitherto kept modestly in the background, materialized this morning. He is a young man of small physique, who relates harrowing stories of personal violence at the hands of his crazy brother. He appeared at the office of the charities commissioners and told Clerk Short that something ought to be done toward caring for his mother and brother, but declined to personally mix up himself in the case, on the grounds that he dreaded a repetition of his former experience. Mr. Short sent him back to William H. Friday of 243 Reid Avenue, the agent of the flat at 237, Reid Avenue, which the Quibells have unoccupied ever since Monday afternoon. Young Quibell took a letter from Mr. Short suggesting that as the charities department had not been given the power to interfere, Mr. Friday had better take out a warrant and have the Quibells dispossessed. Mr. Friday immediately called upon Justice Connelly at the gates-avenue police court and on legal advice warrants were issued by the magistrate for the arrest of the Quibells on charges of vagrancy. Charles McClean, a member of Kings County wheelmen and a former acquaintance of Quibell who once belonged to the organization, ordered a coach at his own expense and avoided the disagreeable necessity of serving the warrants with the aid of a patrol wagon. Justice Connelly detailed Court officers Tracy and McElroy to serve the papers. When they reached the place Mrs. QUIBELL opened the door in response to Tracy’s knock, and, after some irrelevant conversation flatly refused to accompany the officer downstairs. Tracy picker her up and carried screaming and struggling to the coach. She was carefully guarded there, while the officers returned to the flat, accompanied by a squad of reporters and half a dozen interested spectators. The apartments were almost entirely destitute of furniture and carpets. In the kitchen a fire was burning in a dirty range, and on the floor nearby lay a heap of scattered coals; on the table were three or four oranges, some few dishes in which was a little oatmeal and milk and some scarps of bread. The only sign of furniture in the apartment was a cane bottomed chair whereon lay a sheet of note paper on which was scrawled presumably in Mrs. Quibell’s handwriting for the ink was not dry, a nearly unintelligible and almost illegible appeal for someone for money. In a dark room just off the kitchen lay the semblance of a man, reclining in a profound stupor on a cot. He was covered with ragged bed-clothes which were stained with ink and otherwise soiled. He was worn and emaciated, his brown hair was long and matted and he had a beard of more than that of a week’s growth. He was half-dressed in a pair of doe skin trousers, while his feet were covered with shoes and coarse woollen stockings. All efforts to rouse him from his comatose condition failed, and he had to be carried to the coach wrapped in a blanket. Although a man of medium height and good build it is probable that Quibell, by reason of his long fasts now weighs not more than a hundred pounds. When the coach returned to Court Justice Connelly went down to the door, and gave the necessary authority to remove Mrs Quibell and her son to the jail.

THE CASE OF THE QUIBELLS
The medical examination as to the sanity of Mrs. Quibell and her son at the Flatbush hospital has not yet been made. Young Quibell is so weak that his death is expected. The doctors will examine his mother today.

WANTS HIS SANITY DETERMINED

Justice Cullen of the Supreme court today appointed Dr. Henry C. M. Graham, a commission to take testimony as to the sanity of Joseph W. QUIBELL. The petitioner is Sarah M. QUIBELL, the man’s mother, who lives at 444 Gates Avenue, and says her son is subject to trances and melancholies. The son is 28 years old and a partner of Quibell and Conron, in the manufacture of Flavorings at 18, Platt Street, New York.

Two years followed with Joseph locked up in an asylum on Patchogue, Long Island. Then this event happened.

DEMENTED BICYCLIST QUEBELL
Patchogue: L. I. June 7- Joseph Quibell of 257, Chauncey Street, Brooklyn, who for many years was a summer resident of Patchogue and who about two years ago suddenly went insane, appeared in the town yesterday afternoon clad in a long linen duster and a large straw hat. He wore a green patch over his eye and his queer antics and rambling talk attracted attention. It was thought he had escaped from some asylum. Overseer Chichester, Deputy Sherriff Mericle and Policeman Davis found him about 1 o’ clock this morning in the door-yard of Amos Quackenboss on Ocean-avenue. Officer Davis placed him in the lock-up and Mr. Chichester wired the Long Island- home and the Flatbush asylum, where Quibell had been for some time. The keepers wired back that Quibell did not belong there, but gave his mother’s address at Chauncey Street, Brooklyn. Mrs Quibell was telegraphed and she ordered her son home immediately. He was taken to Brooklyn this afternoon. Quibell is 32 years old and is a member of the firm Quibell & Colin. He used to be a crack cyclist and for years was a leading member of the Kings County wheelmen. When he was taken insane two years ago a sensation was created by his being brought to Patchogue in a closed carriage. He was a popular fellow among his associates and much sympathy is expressed for him. He was recently released from the asylum since which time his mother has been caring for him at home. 
An Eagle reporter found the mother of Joseph Quibell at her home, 175, Chauncey-street. She stated that her son had not escaped, but merely taken the trip. He has been taking short trips, but at no time before had he gone so far from home. He returned home yesterday afternoon. He is at present under the doctor’s care. For the past two months his condition has improved, and it was expected in the near future he would be fully restored.

Okay I  will get back to Joseph and his family in a little while, but meanwhile let me take a break from this US family and revert to Quibell families in Nottinghamshire & Lincolnshire, England.

All the above main names are children of William Quibell and his wife Ann Oliver.William's parents as I have written above were William Quibell & Hannah Blagg-they married on 7 May 1801 in East Markham, Nottinghamshire. These two people had a son called William, who married Hannah Blagg, but they also had a daughter called Emma in 1828-I found her when I looked at the census of 1841 for this family. 

Emma was christened on 25 September 1828, at East Markham, Nottinghamshire as daughter of William & Hannah, a farmer. So in the 1841 Census, she is living with her parents in North Carlton, now aged around 10, well in fact she was 13. I then found her marriage is a Sheffield newspaper.
Sheffield Independent - Saturday 16 October 1847 Marriages: On the 12th inst., at Carlton, near Worksop, Mr. Matthew PRIDMORE, joiner & cabinet maker, to Emma, the youngest daughter of Mr. Wm. QUIBELL, farmer, all of Carlton
That article does makes me wonder if she had other siblings as well as her elder brother William, born 23 years earlier than her.  There certainly were many more children that were born to this couple and sadly a death too. All the children were born in East Markham, Nottinghamshire. Their first child was Mary  christened on 11 April, 1802, then came William in 1805, then Ann in 1809, James in 1813, Joseph in 1815, George in 1817,Job in 1819, he died in 1826, Lucy in 1823, Maria in 1825, and Emma in 1828, so she was the youngest.

Joseph Oliver's next brother was James Oliver QUIBELL who was born in the year of 1841-before he was born, his would be sister Martha Holmes QUIBELL was born on 26 March 1839, but she died before 28 December 1839.
