Title: Ethel Ellen Webb 1881
Post by: Chooch on Saturday 22 June 24 10:52 BST (UK)
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. :)

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

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
