BelbinMania Guestbook and Noticeboard

Wow. Just ... wow. Would love to get in touch with you ASAP! My father's name is Terry Allen Belbin. I know very little of our family's heritage. We are in Canada.

I have a recent pic of James Belbin headstone to Baie des Roches, QC. Where can I send it?

I know it's not Belbin family related but my mother Gloria Jean Rolfe when she was very young, used to live in the Belbins house with her parents Dennis and Kathleen Rolfe, Dennis was the owner of Rolfe garage in Romsey.

Hello from the Antipodes. I am a descendant of Benjamin Belbin and Mary Rideout. Their grandson, Thomas Rose, came to Australia with his family in 1792 and was one of the first free settlers to arrive in the new colony. We've been here ever since . I'm 7th generation Australian, and my grandchildren 9th generation. Valuable website, so I hope it keeps going. Kind regards. Tony Fallon

Hi Terry, Been investigating the Belbin who originated from Christchurch, Hampshire, England, UK, (William Belbin) born 1812. Was a convict, transported to Tasmania, Aust. Do you think there could be a connection with your "mob"? (Family). Regards, Bob, Melbourne, Aust. 😄

Hi. Just wondering if I have the right family tree. If so.... Can't believe we have our own website... This is amazing :D

What a wonderful and informative website, well done. I am a descendant of James Fordham and Lucinda Susan Spencer, their daughter Elizabeth Fordham married Charles Belben in 1853. I have information on the Fordham side of the family if anyone is interested. Does anyone know what happened to Elizabeth and Charles Belben and does anyone have any photos?

Good Afternoon, There are not too many Belbins in Canada but I think I am related to most of them. We have family in Kamloops, Quesnel, Edmonton and Moose Jaw. We tried to do a family tree but had some difficulty connecting back to UK. Glad to see someone take the bull by the horns.

GREAT website. I'm currently writing my husband's family history, and in doing research came across this website. Thanks so much for the opportunity to post a message. My husband's ancestors came from Hant's Harbour, Newfoundland. One of the persons in the Husson family tree was Emma "Amy" Pitts Husson, who married Henry Marshall Dicen Belbin in 1886. They immigrated to Lynn, MA in 1892. They had at least 8 children: Mildred, Alexander, Hulda, Cecile, William, Florence, Harold, and George. I have some info on each, but would like to learn more. By the way, took a trip to Hant's Harbour in June, 2010, and learned much about the Husson families. Cheers to your website!

Hello glad to be with you.

My grandfather was Walter Belbin, grandmother was Mary Anne Belbin They had 3 daughters: Molly, Gwen and Lola.

Hi, I came across your website when searching Facebook for Marie Belbin. She was a childhood best friend from England who lived in Chester, Virginia for a couple of years. She had a sister (Madeleine) and brother (whose name I no longer remember). I don't suppose we will ever reconnect, but I every once in awhile I find another possible lead! The Marie I am looking for would have been born in late 1962 or 1963 (in case she happens to see this post!) Thank you!

Hi Terry, Thanks for letting me view your great web site. I was so entertained with "Bits and Pieces" that I have run out of time. I'll be back soon. Jeannine.

Thanks for such a wonderful page that tells me so much about my family, I am directly related to Belbin from my dad's side of the family. Most family is still in Tasmania. Strangely enough I am also related to Captain Bligh on my mothers side too. Keep up the wonderful work as it's of great value to us whom are related. I am on Facebook if you wish to add Sue England.

Hi Terry, I am interested in the Philo link, do you have any gaps you wish to fill? Tony

The Belbin ancestors are on my mother's side, as they are connected with the Cann family of Baltimore, MD. A Cann descendant and I found William Belbin buried in Baltimore Cemetery in Baltimore, MD USA a few weeks ago. You may want to check [www.findagrave.com] in about a month for an entry for him and his wife. There are a few more Belbins in Baltimore Cemetery, we found two but three seemed to be in an unmarked plot. I'm glad to see there are other descendants out there! Bob Pool

Great site. Cannot wait till you have the Australian site up & running. Wow, a great site, Thank you.

Hi Terry....congratulations on your new set up. Hope all is well with you.

Hi Terry, I am Erin who has been researching Belbins, who come into my Carter line. I have been researching since 1988. You have a great site. Very interesting and keep up the good work!!! Cheers from Down Under.

Hi Terry, The new site looks great! Best, Maggie

Great website. Just had a quick look and was amazed at the amount of James Belbins through the years. Will have a more detailed look soon. Thanks.

Hello, Like the website but a tad disapointed that there doesn't appear to be any Tasmanian BELBIN/BELBEN's listed. William BELBEN was transported to Van Diemans Land in 1843.
