I am looking for any information on my great grandfather Elias Webb. He married Hariette Atwell in Dec 1848 and my Granfather Samuel Webb was born/christened 28th Dec 1849. I would very much like to know where Elias came from and if he was born in Barbados.

Hi and welcome to Rootschat
This is a submitted IGI entry which means somebody else is researching the same family. As you can see from the spelling and the date of marriage - submitted entries are not to be relied on
Elizas Webb Birth: 1816 Barbados, Caribbean
Death: 1877 Barbados, Caribbean
Spouse: Harriette Atwell
Marriage: 1839 Barbados, Caribbean
You possibly already have this info from the IGI - siblings of your g/grandfather. In all cases - parents were Elias & Harriet
MARY REBECCA WEBB Christening: 18 MAR 1852 Saint Michael, Barbados
ALICE WEBB Christening: 05 NOV 1854 Christ Church, Barbados
ELIAS ALLAN WEBB Christening: 27 FEB 1857 Saint Michael, Barbados
A possible entry for Harriet
HARRIET ATWELL Christening: 04 FEB 1821 Christ Church, Barbados Father: ATWELL Mother: MARY
A possible marriage
AMBROSE ATWELL Spouse: MARY CRONEY
Marriage: 27 JAN 1819 Saint Michael, Barbados

Thanks for the reply. Yes I had got this information except for the death of Elias. I am suspicious of the Atwell/Croney info from IGI as it has both Lancaster Va USA and Barbados on it!! ::) but it may be based on truth.
I am really after some way of finding where Elias came from.

The Webbs had at least 3 plantations in the SE of Barbados when Richard Ligon visited their c.1650.

That should have read "SW of Barbados". typo...
