George Webb

[jettejjane]

I am seeking further information on George Webb.

Here is what I know.
Born 1868 possibly in Arundel maybe Kent.  Mother Mary Redman father  John Webb they married 1866 London. John died 1870.  George was on 1871 census with grandparents William and Caroline Redman in Arundel, although it says born Birmingham that is incorrect and led me up many wrong roads!
On 1881 census with mother at the home of Henry Thorpe Speldhurst, Kent.

Mother Mary re-married is  back in Arundel 1891 no George.  I have it in my head that he died perhaps something was mentioned somewhere. But he could have married or moved to the Moon.   I no longer have ancestry subs

George was on 1871 census with grandparents William and Caroline Redman in Arundel, although it says born Birmingham that is incorrect and led me up many wrong roads!

I can only see one George Webb in Arundel in 1871. He is living with his grandparents William and Mary Leavy, not with William and Caroline Redman. He is aged 3, birthplace is Birmingham.

Where did you find him living with the Redmans?

Hi Jane

I agree with Jen, the George Webb in Arundel is living with his grandparents William and Mary Leavy. William is a tailor born Derbyshire and Mary born Slindon Sussex.

I'm afraid I'm struggling to find a William and Caroline Redman in Arundel in 1871. Can you give us the full census reference for the entry you've got please, so we can look at it?

William and Caroline Readman aren't old enough to be his grandparents, are they.

From an earlier thread on the Redman family.

Great Grandfather William Charles Redman lived in Arundel all his life.

1845 born in Arundel son of George and Mary
1851 and 1861 census Arundel
1879 married in  Caroline Tickner from Petworth, Sussex
1881, 1891, 1901, 1911 census Arundel. Caroline died 1917. At some time after Caroline's death lived with son Archibald Charles in Arundel.
1930 died at home of daughter in Fontwell, Sussex.

I can not find him on any 1871 census.

In your posting on your Redman thread you say you haven't found William in 1871
