Member Since: April 2007 Posts: 18 Send Message	I am trying to find out information about James Webb b abt 1869 who married Annie Brackstone b abt 1868 and they lived in 189 Shelbourne Rd, Bournemouth England. I know they had at least one child called Annie Victoria Webb b1887 who went to Australia during WW1. Any information about this family would be greatly appreciated. James and Annie are my ggrandparents and Annie Victoria Webb is my grandmother, she married Hugh H Thorburn in 1917 in England. Helen Burgess (nee Shea)

	I bet this is their marriage registration Marriages Mar 1884 (>99%) >>>>BRACKSTONE Annie Southampton 2c 19 Hart Lot Southampton 2c 19 Moody Mary Jane Southampton 2c 19 >>>>>Webb James Southampton 2c 19 - - - - This also looks like Annie's birth certificate ........ maybe she was given Victoria when she was christened Births Dec 1887 (>99%) WEBB Annie Southampton 2c 31 - - - Lilian Grace's birth registration (Christchurch is the registration centre that include Bournemouth). Births Dec 1889 (>99%) Webb Lilian Grace Christchurch 2b 646 If you order one or more of these certificates from www.gro.gov.uk, you will find out the mother's maiden name. They will ask for the GRO reference number ... that's the set of 2 numbers at the right, after the place name. sylvia

Member Since: July 2004 Posts: 8,234 Send Message	Yes, Sylvia, I saw that too. Too much of a punt, I'm afraid. Helen is going to have to buy one of the children's birth certificates for confirmation. I would suggest that she gets this one: England & Wales, FreeBMD Birth Index: 1837-1983 about Lilian Grace Webb Name: Lilian Grace Webb Year of Registration: 1889 Quarter of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec District: Christchurch (1837-1925) County: Hampshire Volume: 2b Page: 646

Member Since: July 2004 Posts: 8,234 Send Message	Perhaps she told a little fib about her age when she married!
Member Since: April 2004 Posts: 46,113 Send Message	SylviaInCanada	Report	25 Jan 2008 03:36
	That does seem to be the one to get, especially as I couldn't find Annie VICTORIA for certain. That seems to be about it doesn't it?? sylvia How's Mudgee?? It's about -4C at the moment here, getting up to about +3 in the daytime, but lovely and sunny!

	well, her age on 1881 agrees with after she's married, if indeed it is the right person. I just can't find an AnnIE of the right age born in Southampton sylvia
