Title: Nellie Webb
Post by: Bodley_Fludes on Thursday 30 June 22 21:06 BST (UK)
Anyone have this individual on their tree. Nellie WEBB may have lived in Haddenham or Long Crendon.
Dates unknown but certainly during the previous century. Notable (or notorious?) for having children by different fathers (ones she wasn't wedded to). Anyone come across Nellie?

Have you found her on any census?  If so - can you please post details.

Are you descended from one of her children?  Please give details of the child - name & birthyear

No, nothing. Do you have a name for the child to which you refer. I understand there were several. I only know what I posted. There's a chance someone will know of her and have more info - dates, place, names of children, and some downstream.

My question was "are you descended from one of her children"  In other words - is one of her children related to you?

If not - what is your interest in her?

Have you looked for her on any census?  You say "certainly during the last century"  so there are the 1901/1911 censuses & the 1939 register

Where did you get her details from?

Have you looked for newspaper reports using her name?  If she was notorious she is likely to be mentioned in print.

Who was she wedded to?  Is Webb her birth name?

That is all I know about her.

Pease see replies 1 & 3.  As you know so little about her - what is the reason for your interest in her? 

Is one of her children your ancestor?
