In July 1889, William Bibby (1837-1900) was hired by the Brisbane-based Raub Syndicate, to develop its concession as a gold mine in Raub, Pahang.
Retired Australian army aeronautical engineer, Victor Bibby, 73, is a grandfather who loves telling great grandfather stories. Not many people can show off quite as well. He has been to Malaysia twice to trace his family roots and has successfully found the link back to his great grandfather, William Bibby, a famous gold miner from Raub, Pahang.
He went the extra mile and wrote a book, Golden Raub: William’s Story, published on Jan 1, 2015, to honour his ancestor, and provide information for William’s descendants who are eager to find out more about their great grandfather.
