We know you do, it's just easier for people to help if we have a picture of the family.
I see his mother did not re-marry. It's something of a puzzle isn't it! I wonder what has been put onn his siblings' marriage certs = possibly it was just an error\?

Thanks for your reply but I already have the 1881 census with these details. It's the marriage cert that's thrown me with the name, John Webster as Alberts father?!

Hi everyone,
I'm looking into my maternal great grandfather- Albert Wagstaff of Hepworth, Yorkshire. b.1870 m.02/06/1894 aged 24 to Hannah Battye of Shepley, Yorkshire aged 24. I have a lot of info on the Wagstaff's BUT my dilema is that when I got a copy of Alberts marriage cert I was surprised to read it has "John Webster" cattle dealer as his father and not "John Wagstaff" Inn keeper as I was expecting. He has 6 other siblings and is next to the youngest so i don't think it's possible he's from a previous relationship. In the Index i think I've found the right Albert Wagstaffe reg. 1870 2nd quarter in Huddersfield obviously no parents are mentioned. Could anyone shed any light as I'm wondering if I have the wrong family altogether & whether the family bloodline should be webster? Many thanks in advance all you helpful people.
