Hi again,

I'm looking for the ancestors/siblings of a William Webber, who married a Margaret Oliver on 10 May 1832 in Radipole, Dorset.

They had about 7 childern from 1833 - 1847. Their fourth child, George Edward Webber, is my ancestor.

I hope everyone has a lovely christmas ;D.

James

Hi James,

my usual question: have you checked out the Dorset OPC site yet / already ??

www.dorset-opc.com

Entering "William webber oliver radipole" and "Find ALL words" I got six hits, one of which was

"Parish of Radipole,  BAPTISMS 1779 to 1840"

There are several chidren of Wiliam and Margaret Webber there:
Mary Ann child of William & Margaret WEBBER baptised 20 Jan 1833   [PR]
Elizabeth child of William & Margaret WEBBER baptised 10 May 1835   [PR]
Henry child of William & Margaret WEBBER baptised 30 Jul 1837   [PR]
George Edward child of William & Margaret WEBBER baptised 30 Jun 1839 

kapajoy51 doesn't say which census, but if the above baptism is yours, and the census G E Webber is yours, then it will be the 1881 census

Try some more combinations in the search engine, i.e. "william webber margaret radipole" gets 15 hits, one of which is the 1851 census !!

87;   Nottington;   Margaret;   WEBBER;   Head;   Widow;   48;   ;   In Park Devonshire
;   ;   Elizabeth;   WEBBER;   Dau.;   Unmarrd;   15;   ;   Dorchester
;   ;   Henery;   WEBBER;   Son;   Unmarrd;   13;   ;   Dorchester
;   ;   George;   WEBBER;   Son;   Unmarrd;   11;   ;   Dorchester
;   136/27;   Richard;   WEBBER;   Son;   Unmarrd;   9;   Scholar;   Dorchester
;   ;   John;   WEBBER;   Son;   Unmarrd;   5;   Scholar;   Dorchester
;   ;   Charles;   WEBBER;   Son;   Unmarrd;   3;   Scholar;   Dorchester

Mary Anne (18) is probably married in 1851 (or possibly working somewhere as a servant ?) but the other six children are all there !

there is probably more about the family on this site, but I'll leave that to you

Good luck !
