Found a marriage for Edward Pearce Webb in 1901 J/A/S in Devonport Devon brides:Jessie Lilian Hall or Jane Stacey.

Right this is also weird cant find John or Williams births !!!!!!!! think ive found James birth ap may jun 1860 brentford vol 3a page 45 but would he have likely have been christened at Weybridge? is it close? cus on the 1861 census it says he was born at Weybridge I also have his baptism off the LDS site (which is an extracted record) as being 21st Dec 1860 Weybridge Surrey parents William Webb & Susannah. So whats going on with em??? (now totally confused lol)

Angela As his brother joined the forces, there's always the chance he did too which could explain why he's missing in the later census's, although not the 1871, a bit too young then!!!! Myfanwy

So I havnt got a clue I did follow John & William (james brothers and found thier marriages and what children they had also thier parents right up untill death) but them 2 im stumped.

Hi it's me! Seeing that there is a Susannah Pearce widow with the family in 1861 do you have this marriage? Susannah Pearce William Webb Dec. 1848 Weymouth 8/281? could this be Eliza 1871?

Angela Do you have them in 1851? Myfanwy

Hi Angela, Looking at the 1861, the rest of the family are British subjects which suggests to me that they were born abroad. I think I have found Edward married and he is indexed as born in Surinam. Perhaps this engineering family travelled the world a lot and that is why they aren't showing up in the other census years. I've had a look for various members of the family in the different years but can't find them either. Not sure where you look next. Good luck, Janice

I am having great difficulty (have been searching since May!!!! ) to track down my Great Grandad James Webb b Weybridge Surrey in 1860. I have him on the 1861 census (hes 4 months old) but then he seems to dissapear off the face of the earth until 1906 when he marries in Nottingham. Can someone pls pls pls help me find him from 1871 through to 1901 or any of them years inbetween. This is him on the 1861 census thank u so very much I really appreciate it xxxx. On his marriage cert it says he's an Electrical Engineer (followed most of his family into engineering) Name: James Webb Age: 4 Mo Estimated Birth Year: abt 1860 Relation: Son Father's name: William Mother's name: Susanh Gender: Male Where born: Weybridge, Surrey, England Civil Parish: Weybridge County/Island: Surrey Country: England Street address: Occupation: Condition as to marriage: View Image Registration district: Chertsey Sub-registration district: Walton ED, institution, or vessel: 8 Neighbors: View others on page Household schedule number: 58 Household Members: Name Age Susanah Pearce 55 Edward Webb 4 Eliza Webb 2 James Webb 4 Mo John Webb 11 Susanh Webb 27 William Webb 35 William Webb 8
