thanks meg, i think you are on the right track, Jemima Webb( nee Docura)born in 1818, was my GGG grandmother, All i know of her is that she married Thomas Webb in 1838,and had a daughter Deborah in 1843, so looking at what you have written, this would certainly match you findings with Deborah being 8 in the 1851 census. I was unaware of any other siblings

This Deborah Webb went on to marry a WILLIAM HODGE (born in 1872-1917). I believe they had 6 sons , William, Walter, Edwin,Webb(my interest), Steven and Ralph.

Webb Hodge is my GG grandfather, he was born in 1874 and died in 1969. He married Clara Clark in 1914, last night i was helped to find some information about her including her maiden name and her parents names and her parnets names   so im over the moon.

MY grandmother(nana) was Nancy Deborah Hodge born in 1921, i believe she was the only child of Webb and Clara.
Nancy then went on to have my dad at the age of 16( illigitimate) to somoneone that was apparently already married. ( all i have is a name and a road he used to live on) so that will be like trying to find  a needle in a haystack. I wont give up though, as my dad never knew his father or any of this family history. Unfortunalty my dad passed away in 2003.

I am now trying to research the HODGE side( my maiden name) I am not in a position to be able to afford to buy the certificates  i need, so will have to rely on the generosity of those who can help me without those at this present time ..
So... i am looking for the parents of William Hodge born in 1842 and dying in 1917,( who was married to Deborah Webb.) I believe his fathers name was also William Hodge, but thats all i have to go on.

Thanks for your information in regards to their occupations, I never knew any of that information Meg, thanks ever so much
