OVERSTALL family

[Dale]

Kia Ora
Just recording that I am interested in making contact with any member of the OVERSTALL family who may be able to help me with information about the life & family of Marguerite Fairy Webb born 19 July 1905 West Bromwich and who died in the Registration District of Newton Abbot April 1987.

Marguerite seems to have married Mr Overstall at some time and moved to Devon.

At this stage I have no further information as I only learned of this connection overnight!

Grateful for any information!

Regards

PS  I think obtaining Marguerite's birth cert would be a good idea , just so as we can confirm her parent's names.

hi again

I have been trying to figure out were the 'Fairy' part of the name comes from ...No luck as yet ...


Henry/Harry Webb b 1863, father of Marguerite ( we hope  )....this is his family;

1871:
birmingham
129 Soho(??) Rd
John Webb head mar 40 weigh machine maker b B'ham  (IGI b 15 jan 1831, chr; 15 feb 1831 s/o Edward webb & Maria)
Sarah wife mar 35 b B'ham
HARRY son 8 b Birmingham...he seems to have followed his dad's occupation!

1861:
John Webb head mar 30 weighing machine maker
Sarah Wife 25
Elizabeth Tuffley w. mother wid 65 , b Middlesex, London

marriage:
John Webb = Sarah Tuffley
june q 1856

so no connection to the Fairy name there

One to consider? maybe poss. red herring.....could have been illegit...or got fed up with name and put Henry/Harry Webb around it?  As suggested Birth cert needed to confirm

Births Mar 1863   FAIRY  Elisha     Birmingham  6d 82


Marriages Dec 1889   
 
Fairy  Elisha    Aston  6d 568   
FLETCHER  Jane     Aston  6d 568

hi Marlene ...

This is interesting ... and obviously needs to be verified that we have correct parents for Marguerite......

we have Marguerite Fairy Webb (1905) d/o Henry/Harry Elisha F Webb (b 1863, B'ham) s/o John Webb (1831 ) B'ham s/o Edward and Maria Webb.


It seems according to IGI that Edward and Maria had quite a few children born in B'ham.

but then I found this in 1841
Newton Abbot, Devon...Added this is where Marguerite ends up after marrying Mr . Overstall !!
Strand, Royal Hotel
Edward Webb 31 Hotel Keeper
Maria Webb 31 Y
Robert Webb 1 Y

I wonder if these are John's parents....ummm maybe I have the wrong people
