[i]Hello, :)
I have been trying to trace my grandfathers family line, but now seem to have hit a brick wall. :'(
So far I have traced back to my 3x g grandfather.....
He was....William Webber born 1818 at Kingsland London, He married in 1834 and had a family with Mary King from Stepney.
I am struggling at this point as I cannot find any details about his Mother or Father, their birth or marriage !
I would so appreciate any help that anybody give me.
Many Many Thanks
Maggie.

Hi Maggie
Where did you get his birth year and place from?

The 1851 image is unclear but I think he is meant to be 38 giving a birthyear of 1813
This is supported by the 1861 entry which shows him as 48 and b Shoreditch

This is all I could find

Many Thanks to all who replied to my post... :)
I am new to this site so please bear with me, sorry.
I should have given background info I had found on William Webber.
I have traced back from my grandfather, through all census's. William was born and married in middlesex, I have found a marriage to Mary King, at St Leonard's Church Shoreditch, ( not sure if its the right one though.) he then moved to Northhamptonshire where he had his family. He then moved to monks coppenall in cheshire where he died in 1881.
I have found various info through a few sites, LDS, FREEREG, and church records on-line. But now at a complete dead end, ??? and not sure what to do next, in order to find his father/mother, born approx 1793. Any help would be so so appreciated.
Many Thanks again
Maggie. :)

No indication he moved to Northants.

Hello,
There are only 16 miles between Wolverton (Bucks) and Northampton (Northamptonshire) itself, it seems there may have been confusion over which county Wolverton is in definitely Bucks.

Thanks so much to GOSSIP 64 and CAROLEW for the info. :-*
I am glad you clarified the wolverton/Northampton situation, was beginning to think I had got something wrong along the way, so thanks again Gossip64.
And Carolew, all that info, you are a godsend.
I am back on the search once again.......wish me luck eh .... :)
Big Thanks
Maggie.
