A bit of a mystery for me here so hope some one can help clear this for me.
I have Ethel Ellen born Sept. Q of 1881 in Stanstead . She was baptised 25 Sept. 1881 Christchurch Ware, her parents were James W Webb and Annie (mdn Tillcock) who were married 23 Jan 1881 Grt. Amwell. Now Annie died and was buried 3 Sept. 1881 and several trees have Ethel also dying 1881 but I cannot find a death/burial for her.
Have tried finding her father in 1891 to see if Ethel was with him but no luck thus far.
James W Webb b. c.1858 Herringfleet Suffolk, remarried 1890 to Mary had a new family and died 1918 Derbyshire.

I am totally in awe of all you beautiful, clever people. Oddly I thought I had seen and saved the 1901 census record but couldn't find it again, I think I got caught up in trying to find her in 1891 presumably with her father. This certainly appears to be our missing Ethel and I am so gratefull to you all for taking the time and to help. :)

Thank you.

When Ethel married James Farmer Potter he was a widower. His first marriage to Ellen Simons in 1905. He appears as a widower in 1911. On the 1939 appears a son Frank born 1905 from first marriage
Added, also on 1939 appears a daughter Doris born 1908 in towester, looks as though Ellen died in or through childbirth, died aged 30 towester

:-* You are amazing , thanks again.

I have to go out but it looks as though James married at least once more possibly twice after the death of Ellen and prior to marrying Ethel

Believe now he only married once more between Ellen and Ethel.
