my 4x great grandmother Ann PORTER married Thomas MORECRAFT at St Leonard's Shoreditch 31 July 1809 with the wedding witnessed by Mary PORTER

Ann appears to have been born in 1788/1789 based on her reported age of 61 when she died in March 1849.

The only Ann PORTER I can find baptised in Shoreditch (in 1792) was the daughter of William PORTER and Ann Faulkener who married at St Leonard's in 1786 and appear to have had 11 children baptised there (but no Mary born before 1809).

Can anyone offer any insights on either Ann or the family of William and Ann?

Eliza COOMBS baptised Walcot St Swithin 15/2/1801 dau of John & Elizabeth COOMBS, married by license 8/6/1818 Bath St James to William CAVE, witnessed by Richard & MAria TREHERN.

Richard was probably her uncle, marrying Sarah COOMBS 9/1/1797


Any info on the marriage of John, or any siblings of Eliza would be welcome

Elizabeth married George Frampton at All Saints Maidstone, 4 October 1835.

The 1851 census gives her as born Hollingbourn 1810. But she doesn't appear in any baptism index I can find.

Was she the daughter of Thomas Bridgeland (farmer of Ripple) and his wife Elizabeth Grant? (family shown on Geni)

John WEBB and his family, Mary Ann and 8 children left England sometime after 1856. He apparently died in Fitzroy in 1871 age 59

Any info on when,and on which ship, they arrived would be of interest. As would confirmation of his father's name - should be James.

The family of James WEBB and his wife Mary lived at 53 Brick Lane between (at least) 1823 and the late 1870s. His younger children (and grandchildren) were baptised at Christ Church but I'm struggling to locate where his older children were baptised.

The 1841 census shows
James  and Mary both born 1786 (not in London)
John (25) and Mary (25)
James and Sarah (both 20)
William 14, Mary 4 and Agnes 2

The 1851 census shows James born 1785, Mary 1787
their children Sarah 32, James 30 and William T 14 plus granddaughter Mary Ann age 13, all born Spitalfields

His presumed son John & his wife Mary were to be found at Clarence Grove, Saint Pancras with 6 children including Frederick & Agnes both born Spitalfields. John's birthplace was given as St Leonard's Shoreditch.
This family of John Webb & Mary Ann Amelia Belcher then emigrated to Victoria (see http://120.146.218.227/TNG/getperson.php?personID=I03397&tree=HillbrickTree1) but left their daughter Mary Ann behind! They married by license at 10/12/1834 at Greyfriars, Newgate

Could anyone locate where John, James and Sarah were born/baptised please.
And conformation that the elder James was John's father would be useful.
