There's a moral here, anita...
If you have a Webb in the Family Tree and haven't got a sense of humour...hit the ground running...

Here is a photo from the dearly beloved's side of the family.
Harry Paget...Patchett...Padgett...(oh use your imagination I give up) on the left, with one of his chums.
HIS life was hard enough for the sister in law to trace...his father's, and grandfather's.....we don't want to talk about it......groan!

Paula, how I agree about the Webb family. Charles' father James is giving me even more of a problem, he's the one who has a wife called three different names in consecutive census, Leticia, Cecelia and Selina.

I love the photo, They look like two naughty boys planning some prank and finding it very funny

This is my great grandparents Frank Baker and Annie Langridge, in the garden at their house in Croydon, during the 1920s. 

They have been the most problematic of my great grandparents, with doubts as to which Frank Baker, Carpenter from Nottingham, my great grandfather was, and Annie having been born illegitimate.  Unhelpfully they didn't appear to marry.  But they did produce 6 children who survived into adlthood and who all made good lives for themselves. 

The family still has two substantial dressers made by Frank.  Allegedly, he made the original door in the clock tower in Thornton Heath, Surrey.
