Webb / Rowling Family Help Request Please
« on: Thursday 15 August 13 16:38 BST (UK) »
Hi,

I have been trying for months to find any further information on my 4x Great Grandfather but have got totally stuck

Thomas Webb Born est 1794 in Wickhambrook Believe his wife was Susan Rowling b est 1806 they married in 1824.

I have found Thomas on 1841 Census with 7 Children he is then on the 1851 Census with 4 Children and no Susan although I have so far been unable to find any record of her death. 1861 Census I cannot find Thomas again ?? and then he appears on 1871 - living with his son. I have so far found no record of his death and no info at all on either his parents or parents of my 4x gt grandmother Susan  :-\ :-\ I have got a lot further on other sides of my tree and cannot seem to get past these missing bits so its driving me insane !!

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Becky. :)
