Can anyone give me any ideas: I have BC for Charles Webb Born 1873 in which states that his father was Solomon Webb and mother Mary Ann Jolly. I have found a Solomon Webb in the 1871 census (age 18) living with his brother Thomas Mills? Could this be his Thomas's wife's brother? and if so how can I check? Also next door there are some other Webbs living with Gregory family - I am a bit confused - also I might have put this on wrong board - but I am trying to make sense of the census!!!

Is this Solomon in 1871?

Is it possible that Thomas Mills is Keziah's second husband and the Webb children are from her first marriage? Or she married after having the children and was previously Keziah Webb?

Marriage for Thomas Mills and Keziah Webb...

I see what you mean about next door as well...

I would bet that Walter Gregory's wife was previously a Webb. I have found a marriage for him but unfortunately the second wife's nam4e has not been transcrived yet...

Have you seen Keziah's family in 1861? It confirm's that she is Soloman's sister... She also has a sister called Pamelia who is probably the wife of Walter Gregory in 1871.
