Hi I have no idea how you are doing with your Webb tree. I do know that the Webbs of the Stroud area were originally Clothiers, I am working on this now but its difficult. I do know that the Webb line ended up bankrupt after the nepoleonic wars. When returning men returning from the war could not find work due to factories being built for the weaving of cloth. Causing widespread rioting. If you know about this or more I would like to hear from you. My line is From Thomas Webb 1597 Derek

Hello Derek, thanks for replying, after five years of chasing the Stroud Webbs I have discovered that I am looking at the WRONG family, to say I am devastated is an understatement and it was down to the fact that my Charles from Kidderminster married a Stroud woman ....he was born in the same year as the Stroud Charles and both had a James as a father born in the same year!!!!!!! Disaster. I am now in pursuit of the Kidderminster Webbs.

Hi Its always a blow when that happens Ive been working on my tree for 20 years. Over the last two years I have also been following two lines that were incorrect. A lot of work wasted. Derek

Had a look for Charles Found one for 1870. kidderminster. Father James a carpet planner. On one site a christening has his mother as Elizabeth. The census says her name is Martha. Is this your line as I could look further.

Yes this is my lot Derek and I have them back to the 1841 census with James as a 4yr old..parents Thomas and Mary.

I have James married to Martha Hall Nov 25th 1861.

Charles is my grandfather and he married Leah Whitehouse 21st Feb 1897. We believe they had four children and then he left Leah and came to Sheffield with my grandmother Ellen Louisa Felton nee Eldridge...she was also married with  four children and she left them with her husband He divorced her in 1921. My grandparents couldn't marry until Leah died in 1935...my dad was 18yrs old then. We never knew anything about it at all until I started FH research.

Hi Derek, I wonder which Thomas this is as James' father was at least 37 in the 1851 census and their son Thomas was eight years old
