Jabez Webb and Rosanna Smith

[Outlaws]

Thanks for replying. John Ernest was Jebez 1st son & he is my husbands grandfather. We thought he was in the guards but can find no record of his service. He married twice. His 2nd wife being Anne Hoskins. My husbands grandmother.  We cannot trace him from leaving Aston to marrying his first wife in the Guildford area.  He later lived in Croydon & worked as a doorman at Olympia. It would be lovely to hear any more information you have of any members of the family. Thanks.

Hello Trish
It was lovely and unexpected to hear from you via Rootchat
My name is Heather Wright,  Jabez is my Husband Stephen Wright 's great grandfather. We live in Sussex, but at present our down in our place in Spain.

I am trying to trace
John Ernest Webb. Born 1906 (West Brom) (my Mother in laws Father)
Parents Jabez Ernest Webb and Rosanna Webb ( nee Smith). I cannot find a marriage certificate for them, but have found that Rosanna was born in Oakengates Shropshire in 1871 and died in 1929

Siblings
Florence Edith. 1895
Gertrude      1899
Ethel.            1903
Arthur Henry  1910

1911 Census
Living at 3 Back, 13Union Road, Aston. Aged 5 with his parents.
As there are no further census available I cannot trace him from then until he married when he was 22 in 1928 to his first wife Amelia Bertha Corbett. Born 1892 (Marylebone)
He had a son John Webb born 1929/ died 1929 at 2 months
Daughter Muriel Daisy Webb born 1931. Both at Guildford Surrey

John Ernest Webb had another Daughter in 1931 also,  June Mary (my Mother in law) born to Anne Hoskins, also in Guildford  and a son Robert John 1934 ( now deceased)

He must have divorced Amelia as I have a marriage certificate for August 1939 for him marrying Anne Hoskins in Croydon (Surrey)
In the 1939 war census he was listed as being a doorman at Olympia and him and Anne were living at 2 Enmore Ave, Croydon, in a house owned by Adam Packham.  At this time he was listed only as Ernest Webb, but was known as Bob?

Both June & Robert were registered as Webb, and June who is now 84 has memories of her Father telling her he was in the Guards & injured in Turkey ( but I can find no military records for him). She tells me he was always very secretive of his young life and she new nothing of his siblings or her grandparents, only their names Jabez & Rosanna.

I have told her everything I have found regarding  Jabez's background, but I would love to be able to tell her more regarding her Father.  She has always felt there must be a Jewish connection to the family with so many  Hebrew names, however the census all records C of E. 

The family name of Jabez is being continued as one of Roberts son's is called Nathan Jabez. 

Thank you so much for the information, how strange that just by googling the name Jabez Ernest Webb that I found you.  I have also been contacted by Jean Charles who  we think is my Husband's 2nd Cousin, she also had some great information. What relation are you I wonder, and what side of the family is your link?

Many thanks, Heather Wright
