I am having trouble finding any information about Elizabeth Websdale.
Elizabeth married my Great Grandfather Henry Wright on 31st Oct 1878 in Bedingham Parish Church.
My copy of the marriage certificate gives her age when married as 21 ( b 1857 ) and her fathers name as George.
1881 census has Henry and Elizabeth living in Olland rd , Bedingham aged 22 ( b 1859 ) and born in Denton.
I have checked 1837 online from 1854 to 1861 and found nothing regarding birth details although several
periods are unreadable.
Any help would be appreciated.
Ray.

Hi ray
I, too, am researching the Websdale name, and though I have not connected my branch yet to Bedingham Websdales, I, and a couple of other researchers of the name, have concluded that all the Websdales in the Norfolk area are descended from the one family.
I will check my database to see if I have any info of use to you, and if you pm your email address to me, I will email you seperately

Hello I have an ELIZABETH WEBSDALE born c 1760 married JOHN BALDWIN c 1780 possibly Saxlingham Norfolk.
Would appreciate any possible connection.
Many thanks

Hi Jacques.
Would like to help but sadly my only knowledge of Elizabeth Websdale is via their Marriage certificate and the 1881 census.
Neither Elizabeth or her father George seem to appear
on any other census.

Hello Onslow.
Thanks anyway, good luck with your search

There are many Websdales in the Tibenham parish registers dating back to 1694. Let me know if these might be of help as I have transcribed the entire registers.

Thank you for reply. I don't know whether Tibernam is in the same area as Saxlingham. My Gt Gt Grandparents ROBERT BALDWIN bc1794 at Saxlingham married Priscilla Baker c 1812 at Saxlingham.
Roberts parents I think were John Baldwin and ELIZABETH WEBSDALE possible other children John, Robert, William and George no other details known. Would appreciate anything you think appropriate. A big thank you.

Jacques - Saxlingham Nethergate is about 8 miles from Tibenham I think. If you want the Websdale file let me have your e-mail address and I will send the spreadsheet.
