James Webb aged 60
Joanna Webb aged 37
Albert Webb aged 2
1871 census Hawkedon,Suffolk
James Webb aged 71
Joanna Webb aged 48
Albert aged 12,Frederick aged 8,Caroline aged 8,Ernest aged 5
Then 1881 they are in Benfieldside,Co.Durham.
James had died earlier in the year,Caroline had married,Joanna was 58,Frederick was 19 and Ernest was 15.
Then in 1886 Caroline dies in Tow Law,Co.Durham at Carolines home with her husband Joseph Robson.I have searched for Albert after 1871 no luck,Frederick and Ernest elude me aswell (they were not mentioned on Carolines death cert)
Has anyone got anything else i can try.

I think Isabella Pattinson married that Frederick Webb - though of course we don't know if he's the right one.

This seems to be Sarah Isabella Postle:

Thanks Argyllgran
Benfieldside and Blackhill are in my part of the country the are about 2 miles apart it is more than likely this is wife i have checked Webb's births in Lanchester area fom 1881 till1891 usually children are named after family members but nothing shows up,same on Durham Records on line not many more avenues to explore i thought if i could find older brother Albert b1859 it might lead somewhere same as Ernest .
There are no deaths of Ernest Webb or Frederick in bdm site.
another mystery goes on
