Dibble - Bakers

Good evening. I believe my Dibble ancestors were bakers and/or confectioners in Birmingham in the 1800s and wonder whether anyone is aware of any historical records that might relate to them.

Many thanks if you are able to help.

Hi Sandy, there are numerous references to Dibble bakers between 1868 and 1905 (could be later than this), predominantly at 104 Broad Street (William Henry) but also
1884, 42 Church Road (William) & 118 Duddeston Mill Road
1884, 98 Coleshill Street (Edwin).
1872, 87 Digbeth Street ((William) & 55 Broad Street, Islington

There are also 'Dibbles' and 'Dipples' which could well be a misspelling.

Looks like William Henry ceased trading in 1905.

Will have a look what else there is tomorrow.
