He is notable for partnerships with Thomas Staniforth of Hackenthorpe, and for later being the sole owner of Thomas Staniforth & Co of Hackenthorpe.[2][3] Early LifeJohn Hibbard was born in 1845 to John and Hannah Hibbard. His parents were distant cousins and the family owned Lamb Hill Farm at Woodhouse.[4] He married Louisa Staniforth, the daughter of Thomas Staniforth IV and Mary Jane Hardy on July 27, 1871. His brother Rowland Hibbard married his wife's sister, Harriet Ann Staniforth. CareerIn the 1870s. John's father-in-law Thomas Staniforth made the decision to turn his Sickle & Scythe Manufacturing business, that had been in the family for four generations, into a company. He named his son William Staniforth, and his son-in-laws John Hibbard and Rowland Hibbard as partners. Rowland Hibbard passed away in 1874, and by the time of Thomas' death on September 24th, 1873, his son William Staniforth and John Hibbard were the only partners left to take over.[5] In March 1893, an announcement was made in the London Gazette announcing the dissolution of William Staniforth and John Hibbards partnership. The notice proclaims that all debts due and owed were to be paid by John Hibbard, and from that point forward all business would be carried on by him. By the end of March 1908, the company had an overdraft of £3000 and John Hibbard was forced to take out a bank mortgage. He incorporated the business into a Limited Company, making himself Chairman and Managing Director and his two sons John (Jack) and Rowland were named Directors. John Hibbard Jr. passed away two years later at the age of thirty seven. On December 19th, 1911 a meeting was held where a resolution was passed. It was deemed that the company could not continue to operate. Within months a new partnership was formed to run the business. In 1912, John's residence, Greenside House, was sold and John and Louisa relocated to Crookes. John passed away on May 25, 1923 of Tuberculosis. In his native village of Woodhouse, a residential neighbourhood with roads named John Hibbard Avenue, Crescent and Rise are named for him.
