Are you going to get that marriage cert to see if she says single on that?

Hi Everyone xxxxxx

I would like to say a massive thank u to everyone whos helped me on this frustrating puzzle.

I think its almost solved!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i cant quite believe it yet lol.

My great nan appears to have remarried a man named George Green in 1913 (using her maiden name tho of Hooton !!!!!! )
They went on to have 1 son named Lloyd Green in 1914.

Only prob now is whether my great grandparents divorced or if my great grand dad died after they split up (seeing as great nan in 1911 was saying she was single lol)

Ive tried the national archives but to no avail at divorces so now off to re search my great grandads death (tho im again now thinking that the 1924 James Webb born Chertsey is the right one after all im going to buy the death cert just in case)

I am one happy bunny

Thank u all so very much again im eternally grateful xxxxxxxxxxxxx

If you look at 1861 census it says registration district Chertsey and 1851 says John born Portland which would be Weymouth district .
If you go to http://freebmd.rootsweb.com when you find an entry you can click on the district and it will open to show you what places are covered by that district.

OMG the Alice Webb and Harry Webb on the 1911 census is them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ive now got my certs down and reopened the 1911 census and bingo she is staying with her Aunt Uncle & cousin and theyre the same people that witnessed the marriage how bizarre is that!!!!!!!!!!

Even more confusing is wheres my great grandad and further more why is she saying she is single?

Im now going to buy the census for that James Webb you mentioned before to see if it is him (but not sure im going to be able to proove it unless he's also living with people I already know about)

Now I really do wish could pop up to heaven to ask them god relatives are so frustrating bet theyre having a right giggle at me now lol.

Hi Janice

ty so much xxxx

my grandads name was John herny Arthur Webb born 1907 nottingham
tho weirdly enough dad told me his dads name was Harry !!!!

also everyone thought my dads name was Harry all his friends call him that it was a sort of nickname even tho he was born as frederick henry so maybe
I did use credits for them above but it says she is single? so i didnt know whether it was my grandad and great nan.

I have also seen that Weymouth entry but as im really rubbish at geography wasnt sure if chertsey was the right place as it says on the census was born at Weybridge is this the same place?

thank u so very much for all your help im driving myself nuts wish i could pop up to heaven just for a hour n question them all lol

HOUSEHOLD WEBB HARRY M 1907 4 Nottingham Nottinghamshire

Also when you search
Name James
surname Webb
Residentual place Nottingham
Other person first name Alice
you get this ??
HOUSEHOLD WEBB JAMES M 1860 51 Sheffield Yorkshire West Riding

Hi Everyone xxxxxxxxxxx

Thank u all for your replies.

Thats another weird thing ive tracked all of them (my great grandfathers parents and siblings through out the census's) but he simply dissapeared!!!!!!!

cant find him on the 1911 census or the 1901 census neither can I find my grand dad on the 1911 census despite him being born in 1907 or his mother!!!!!!!!! (tho I do have my great nan on the 1901 census and she is living with her father in lodgings with people whom witnessed her marriage 5 years later tho at a different address that is on the marriage cert)

its just so weird and I can't understand why they would say they were british subjects when ive managed to track them before that!!!!!!!! very strange lol


I can't find his death either grrrrrrrrrr thought I had found it in 1924 but he turned out to be the wrong James Webb.

Thank u all for your help i really do appreciate it xxxxxxxxxx looks like ill have to shelve my Webb's again for a little while (boohoo lol for the 3rd time now tut lol)

I would say that he was working overseas maybe South Africa or India, need to search passenger lists.

When and where was your father born, does that give a clue??

Have you found any of the family (ie your grandfather's brothers and sisters) in 1901 or 1911 which may give more info as to where they were born?
