A sweet smelling Fortean.
Too much? Perhaps. But I know so little.
There were actually two Forteans with the surname Hibbert mentioned in Doubt over the years—but I think I can separate them. E. M. G. Hibbert appeared only once. He was from New Zealand, and may have been associated with another Kiwi Fortean, Guy Powell. At least, they sent in aspects of the same story, about a bull’s brain cavity housing some kind of small animal. The other Hibbert lived in London and seems to have accounted for the vast bulk of the material attributed to that name. I know nothing more about E. M. G. Hibbert; I only know a little more about W. P. Hibbert.
W. P. Hibbert was almost certainly Wallace P(atrick?) Hibbert, born July 1912 in Barnet, a borough in Middlesex, part of northern London. He married Marjorie L. Coles. After World War II, the Hibberts were involved in the perfume business. Around April 1947, they joined with Raoul Pellegrin to form Cie de Dandon en Provence, which was engaged in buying and selling perfumes and related cosmetics. The company, addressed at Aldwych House, in London, had 100 pounds as starting capital.
