Roxanne, on Ancestry there is someone with a public tree who has photos and census scans of Alma. If you are not a member of Ancestry, you can register for a free trial.

The tree also has scans of letters from Alma.

hi ethel yes they all do match Thankyou, lm just slightly confused about the different benjamin webbs.
And also the alms information about her being a widow is what l have also collected however l dont know anymore than that.

Hi again. I have just checked, and yes, Benjamin was a clothiers assistant in 1901 so this would appear to be the right one. do you agree.

I will check on the 1911 census now and work backwards for alma, but I am not registered on the Scotland Peoples records. Ethel.

This could be Alma Webb in 1911, she is a widow

Hi Roxanne. Glad you have come back. If you know that Benjamin had three children do the names I gave you for the 1901 census match them. If so we can then try and find out more. Let me know. Ethel.

Hi, the benjamin webb that l have was a clothier assistant. He was 31 in 1901 married to alma christie and had 3 children. However above there are two different benjamin webb's? Any chance of getting some help, l am a tad confused.

hi sorry to you guys, lm new to all the family history stuff, it was my mum that got me into this.
Thankyou so much for your help, ive been trying hard to find information about her.
Im sorry if it seemed rude that l havent replied before.

Thankyou again

Roxi
