In your post on the Travellers board you say "my grandad is John Webb, and my great grandfather is James Webb, And My great Great grandfather Was George Webb, Could These Be Any Relations, I Know There Are Connextions With Guilden Morden In Cambridgeshire.."
Have you got any possible dates for any of these people?
David

In 1901 living in Guilden Morden next door to John Merrill, my 2nd cousin four times removed, was a James Webb 55 ag lab born Steeple Morden, his wife Ellen 56 b Guilden Morden, and son David 19 ag lab b Leeds.
In 1891 the same family had a John Webb 11 born Leeds, but no other children other than David. Is this your grandfather? If so in 1881 they were living in Hunslet with the only child being John aged 1, which you can find yourself on www.familysearch.org
But there's no sign of these other siblings, so I wonder if it is the right family. I doubt it actually, as I think this Ellen was Ellen Matthews, who married James Webb in 1878 in Hunslet.
When was your father born, and what was his mother's name?
And what is it that you're looking for?
David

OK, when and where was your mother born? Unless I can get a handle on likely time scales I don't know where to look. You might be 21, your mother might have been born in 1960 and your grandfather born in 1940. You've got to give us something to go on, so that we can help you.
And again, what is it you're looking for?

I can confirm that the various names you mentioned as being your grandfather's siblings were born in Hitchin registration district between 1935 and 1950, and their mother's maiden name was Foster. I can't find your grandfather unless he was Terence J.
James G Webb married Ellen Foster in Hitchin registration district in the March quarter 1933
I'm still working on James G and where he might have been born. There's a James G born in the Sept quarter 1911 in Royston registration district which includes Guilden Morden, where the mother's maiden name is shown as Fatham, but I can't trace anyone of this name. Give me a day or two and I'll see what I can find. Patience is a virtue. *

* I've just found a Lucy H Webb born March quarter 1913 in Royston registration district, where her mother's maiden name is Tatham, so I think I'm on the right track - you said that James had a sister Lucy.
There's a marriage in the Sept quarter 1910 in Royston registration district between David Webb and Ethel M Tatham. This doesn't tie up with your information that James' parents were George and Ellen. How sure are you/your grandfather about this? There are quite a few George Webb/Ellen marriages but none of them in Cambs/Herts

Whoa!!! Slow down. Before you start researching someone else's ancestors you've first got to establish who James' father was. You have to go back one generation at a time, verifying each step as you go. You say you're 100% sure his father was George, but the marriage that I found was between Ethel (NOT Ellen) Tatham and David Webb, and these seem to have been the parents of James and Lucy. I can't see any other children.
You may need to spend £7 of your hard earned pocket money on a certificate:
- James Webb's marriage certificate to Ellen Foster will give his father's name. Was it George or was it David
David Webb may have been born in Leeds of parents who were born in the Mordens, and who were living in Guilden Morden in 1901. Is there any family gossip about a link to Leeds? Alternatively there's a David Webb age 36 living in Guilden Morden in 1901, who may have been the David Webb who died in Royston registration district in 1916 age 51. Might this be why there were no more children after Lucy?
What was the source of your information about George being James' father?
David
