John,
Thankyou for the information,the internet is such a wonderful tool.
In answer to your question, yes our family is descended from Richard who apparently farmed at Nether Kellet, then his son Roger who also farmed at Nether Kellet. He had a son Richard who emigrated to Pahiatua New Zealand and was married to a Mary Ellen Walker they had 8 children,Margaret,John,Lucy,Frank,Richard,Amy,Albert and Robert.My Grandfather was his son Richard who was married to Edith Hunt.
Unfortunately I have no dates to offer and am getting my infomation from a hand sketched family tree.A note on the bottom mentions 2 children rescued from the great plague of London in 1665 and brought to Littledale by a Janet Craig,the children were Bibby's and apparently she noted information in an autobiography.Also mention of some tombstones in the Littledale church yard bearing Bibby names.Hope this is helpful, I also have information without dates on John Bibby's son Edward(b.1789) if you would like.
