Herefordshire / Re: Elizabeth Webb - which set of parents?
« on: Thursday 15 May 25 14:42 BST (UK)  »

Thank you!  I also see that Richard and Elizabeth's youngest child was working in the same household in 1861.
 
I've been looking for any connection between Elizabeth and that family - witness at a wedding or at the same address on a census - but no luck. I'm not really sure how I can prove it - none of that family moved to London, most stayed in the Midlands.

Herefordshire / Elizabeth Webb - which set of parents?
« on: Thursday 15 May 25 10:54 BST (UK)  »

I've been chewing this bit of gristle over for ages and will continue to look for defining details but would appreciate some thoughts from folks here:

Elizabeth Webb marries in London in 1845.  She is of full age and father is Richard, no occupation.  Witnesses aren't family and her husband is from London. 

In 1851 the census shows she is 33yrs and born in Cheltenham.  The 1861 census is missing.  In 1871 she is 53 and born in Hereford.  She dies in 1873 and burial record says she is 53.  I found an Elizabeth Webb in the right part of London in 1841, aged 22 and 'not born in county', employed as a servant who might be my girl. 

So, her birth is 1818-1820, born Cheltenham, Glos or Herefordshire, father Richard Webb. 

I've got two sets of parents and have favoured each at different times but neither set ticks all the boxes so doubt creeps in:

Richard Webb married Elizabeth Yarnold in Lindridge, Worcs in 1814, baptised Elizabeth in Eastham, Hereford in 1818, or

Richard Webb marries Anne Nyend in 1803 in Cheltenham, baptises a second daughter Elizabeth in 1813 in Cheltenham

I don't know the areas concerned at all but the map shows they're relatively close.  I know ages and places of birth aren't always accurate but in the current absence of other defining facts which would you favour? 

Thank you.

Australia / Father of Clarence Alfred Taylor

Hi

Clarence Alfred Taylor was born in 1889 in Newcastle, NSW and later married Ruby Hyde.  I'm interested in his father - I believe he was English so any bit of information would be very helpful to pinpoint him here in the UK records.

Thank you.

London and Middlesex / Re: LGOC and 1891 census

Yes, that's the chap.  The couple married in 1899 and yes, he took on a ready made family.  In 1891 his future wife was with her husband, had a John and Ellen Lee as neighbours and these are my chaps parents.  But he is missing.  He was an omnibus driver except for his marriage cert says farrier (horse drawn buses) so he could be doing anything relevant in 1891.

I have posted this before so didn't want to start a search but if anyone has a spare ten minutes - John Lee, born c1864 in Isleworth.  He's a single man so could be lodging.
