Ebbs

So next came William Mark Prewett Ebbs but cant find his birth date.

'came' from where? Where have you found him?

Where did you get this info from- there is no William Ebb in Herts with those middle names- nor is there a William Mark Prewett either.

Cant find christening of Charles, but birth reg;
Charles Henry EBBS, June 1851, Hertford, 6 573

Agree that a William EBBS was born and died that was the son of a William and Caroline. But seem unrelated to the Caroline we have 1841/1851 Census.

No indication of a William Mark Prewett EBBS existing that I can see

Oh yeah- supposedly born in Wales   

Miles and miles away from Hertfordshire though?

Thanks Trish......I wouldn't have found that as I tend to limit my searches to the UK only.

Thnaks Trish for your input - clarifies that Caroline was nee Watson , then marries Thomas Ebbs, and it seems later married Henry Mead.

and as for the Prewett chappie ...

Velcro? why did you think he was a child of this Caroline?
