Webb family
« on: Sunday 14 October 12 15:52 BST (UK) »
Hello everyone and after years of researching the totally wrong family I have just discovered that my Webb family came from Kidderminster or thereabouts. My Grandfather was Charles Webb  son of James Webb who was a Carpet Planer (I have this info from Charles marriage cert) I understand Charles' first wife was Leah and they had four children.

I believe Charles left Leah and came to Sheffield with Ellen Louisa Felton, the lady who was to become my grandmother. They eventually married in 1936. Ellen Louisa's husband had divorced her in 1920.

I have just started re-researching this family .....hopefully the correct one this time. If anyone has any info on this them I would be more than happy to receive it. I have found them in 1911 census under the name of Weble but have yet to look further back

Hello Alison, thanks for replying.

I have managed to find quite a few of the family now and I am now working hard on the tree.

I know there are still family still in the Kidderminster area and I would love to find them but that is probably for the future.

Thanks once again for your reply.

Regards
Anita.

Hi there - I have a piece of Webb family memorabilia - a present on the occasion of the sixtieth wedding anniversary of "Mrs. Maurice Webb, 4th Aug 1923". A set of 6 silver teaspoons , in presentation box. Our branch of the Webb family nname ended because my grandfather Martin Webb (m. Irene Dorrell, both born c. 1905, lived in Eckington, worked at FW Webb Furniture store in Worcester, extant to this day) had 3 daughters (Julia, Diana and Lucy b. c. 1938), and as far as I know his brothers and sisters (Dennis, Betty +1) were not married and so the surname ended.
