George Webb

[jettejjane]

William Leavy married Mary Redman  1860 Westhampnett  2b 385. So George Webb in 1871 was his step grandson.       

This is probably George's birh

Births Mar 1868   
Webb    George        Westhampnett    2b   349

This is likely to be the birth of George Webb who was baptised 19 Jan 1868 in Yapton, parents William & Catherine.

Definitely not my George wrong parents.

Which makes the George Edward Webb born Birmingham look even more likely as he is the only one on Freebmd with an E as a second name. Unfortunately his baptism record doesn't give his mother's maiden name, only the certificate would do this.

If you look at the actual census image it isn't a case of it being transcribed incorrectly, Birmingham is very clear.

I cant leave this although I said I would. 

Where is the E coming from?  On the 1871 in Arundel with Mary and William we have George W.  There is a George W b. 1868  on 1881 census with a mother Mary Ann b 1845 a widow born Northampton registration district Birmingham, not correct.

I think there are too many George Webbs with mother's called Mary Ann.  We are in danger of making anything fit.


This is what I know, apart from Georges birth place, I strongly believe it would be London or Kent as there is a family connection with Kent, it is also possible she went home to parents to have baby but I don't think so.

On 1861 she was a servant in London.  Married 1866 in London.  Son George born 1868.  Husband John died 1870 Kensington.  On 1871 census Mary Ann Webb widow born Arundel working as a housemaid in Tonbridge.  At some stage before 1871 she left baby George with her parents.

The E comes from the actual image of the 1871 census, it is the W that is a transcription error.

I think that you are probably correct!

Best thing to do is to start with the one piece of information that you know is correct. What information would that be?

[lizdb]

.......But only one George E Webb bn  1868, Birmingham with parents John and Mary Ann!


(Yes, the E comes from the 1871 image)

(Yes, the E comes from the 1871 image)

Sorry which 1871 census please?  Obviously not the Arundel one.

[lizdb]

Yes, the Arundel one.
The one quoted by groom at reply #2
Where George is with grandparents and birthplace is given as Birmingham

 I  agree   groom,       Jane ,  if  you   look  at the  actual  image   at  the    name Edwin ( 7  names  below  George )  the  E  is  written  the  same as the  E   in Georges   middle   name,
