Somerset Lookup Requests / WEBBER/STRONG marriage. Help on this one please.
« on: Tuesday 05 August 08 00:58 BST (UK)  »
Hi Peeps,
I guess I have been lucky up till now,all certs that I have sent off for have been the correct ones .phew!!!!!! how lucky is that. ::)
This has completely baffled me, :'(
I have asked for help on this family some time ago,
and it seems as if I have followed the wrong path. :-[
How often we hear this,silly me.

To get to the story.

I have a William Webber b.1850.who married Louisa Strong b1854
in c1874.Married in St Decumans.
Saw this info on IGI.All the children listed match my family
 who come from
Watchet /Williton,Somerset,.

I was led to believe that William's
 parents were
William and Mary Ann Hobbs.
Having obtained the marriage cert
of William and Louisa Strong,
the only one stated on Freebmd,
sent off for the cert,
It came back as the right occupation for her father
Robert Strong (sailor),
but for him his father is listed as a
James Webber,carpenter,and not William,
Their address on the cert,is
Melody Buildings, Taunton.
Haven't heard of this place before. ???

Sorry this is so long winded,but where would I go from here?
The names of the witnesses have been no help either.
James Sharman,and Elizabeth Jones.
I guess there is always a first time for a mystery,
and this is mine.
Hope some kind soul can put me out of my misery. :D
Or a trip to Taunton Record Office, will be on the cards. :'(

The Lighter Side / Is it just me????
« on: Thursday 24 April 08 23:37 BST (UK)  »
When looking at old photographs,or restores to old ones,
not on any particular site,
does anyone else feel a bit spooky?

It's not the time scale,knowing that they are all deceased , :'(
some look like corpses anyway, :(
so deadpan,no expressions whatsoever.

It really gives me the creeps.
Must send a note to myself,
not to look at them just before bedtime. :)
