Just to correct a small detail, I think, if it is the same one, the Marine William Webb at Chatham Barracks in 1861 was born at Whiston, Lancashire, in it says 1843. It is probable that this William Webb was my GGrandFather and not the William Webb from Haverhill,Suffolk that you are researching.

best regards - David Webb
