Thank you for sharing what you know.

Sometimes I see "farmer's wife" as an occupation, even  - a time or two - "farmer's son."

Having been a "farmer's son" myself, I know a little about that one.  LOL

Hi Ken,

Yes that one does crop up (generally in the later census - 1841 census is very basic) - Farmer's wife/son/dau is an occupation as it is assumed the person is actually labouring on the farm. (as a farmers son I am sure you will know all about that) Wife or Widow is not an occupation. It is a marital status. If there is was a status column it would be entered there but of course in 1841 there is no such column. There was no provision for a marital status to be entered in the 1841 census - this was entered in error - it should not have been entered in the occ column or anywhere on the census form and therefore was removed (but none the less a clue that she was already widowed by this time)..........Kris  :D

John WEBSTER was baptised 20 Mar 1757 Illogan parents John and Honour

Looks like you could be on quite a roll here.

John WEBSTER = Honour ARTHUR 2 Jun 1753 in Crowan

Now John Webster (possible father of your Francis) did leave a will  ;)

looking for someone doing research on websters from 1709 to present francis webster married ginifred blackwell 1737 had a son william in 1744 that married jane bennatts they had a son john that married elizabeth bray in 1804 and they had a son john that married mary mills in 1829 they in turn had a son named william that married grace mable hawkins from penzance,cornwall. some of the given names of the children are thomas,lavinia,leviah,caroline,grace, elizabeth,susannah,josiah,william,mary jane,mary,john. thank you for any reply :)

I am just curious how you linked John (married to Mary Mills) to the John married to Elizabeth Bray.  I saw that line before and figured they were connected but I couldn't find documentation to make it work, --though I admit, since this is a hobby I didn't go all out looking at the time.

William and Grace Mable (look for her as Hocking (early census spelling) or Hockin (a later census spelling of her mom's last name, Jane Hockin).

Which of their kids are you decending from?  William and Grace's son Henry married Elizabeth Mary Philips ( or perhaps Phillips), They had a son named fredrick (1902), who had a son Charles, who had a son.......who had me!

I swear if our ancestors would have been a little more original with their names this wouldn't seem so impossible.
--trying to keep all the John, William, and Henry's straight makes your eyes go crossed.  I think a lot of the websters that have been posted here and cousins to the William (M. Grace) and John (M. Mary) that we are looking at, though I do want to figure where they all fit in too.

I have some free time over the next few weeks so I will be all over this for a while!
