WEBB in Colchester

[jommie]

I'm looking for any information on what I believe to be my gx4 grandparents.  I have only found them in 1841 and the childrens birth dates are too early to be on FreeBMD.   I fear the name is too common but would love to find them in 1851 or any marriage/birth records that may be out there.

Sincere thanks,
Jon



1841 census found John and Mary Webb, living in Colchester, St. Peter's Parish, Green Yard.

John - b. about 1801 - a shoemaker
Mary - b. about 1804
Eliza - b. about 1825
Mary Ann - b. about 1828
Thomas - b. about 1830
George - b. about 1833
Charles - b. about 1835 (Month of March) - I believe this is my gx3 grandfather, born about March 6 1835 or 1837.   He came to NY and was a shoemaker which helps me to believe this is his family (plus his death record listed John and Mary)
Walter - b. about 1837

There was an earlier marriage of a John Webb to a Mary Rowe in 1816, but thought this was a bit early.


You'll find them here in 1851 with more children.  HO107; Piece: 1781; Folio: 387; Page: 12

I am curious as to whose brother, Charles is?

Different family, a Charles and Sophia Webb with other parents, so can discount them.
