Can anyone sort this family out please?
« on: Tuesday 17 July 07 14:09 BST (UK) »
I've got these names in my tree.  Can anyone help with details please?  Dates, parents etc..

The 1861 census states Dorothy Overton, aged 60,  was living at 18, Great Holme Street, Leicester with her gransdons William Webb aged 18 and Thomas Webb aged 16.
Who were William and Thomas's parents ? I thought they were John Webb and Phoebe Brown, both born Hinckley ?  William is in my line but I'm having a terrible job to find any details.
Did Dorothy Overton marry a Webb ?   I can't work this lot out at all !!   HELP  PLEASE!!!

She probably had a daughter who married a Webb ?

Looked for Overton/Webb marriages just prior to the oldest lads birth ?

  Just wondering if she may have been married before as age of Sarah would make her around 36 when she was born.
 On IGI the only births for a Dorothy Webb in LEICS are in Castle Donnington bit of a way from Hinckley.

I think your parents are correct in the 1851 .... so prolly Mrs O is Johns Mum ?

Greeting’s Folks ……..

Based on the below :~

Baptisms :~

John & Mary WEBB.
19th. July. 1817.
St. Mary’s Parish Church. Hinckley.
Father :~ William Webb.
Mother :~ DOROTHY. ( Which would make Dorothy 23.  at this time ? )

Seems Dorothy.... could have indeed  been married before ?

MIKE.
