Hi,

Could this be Ellen, Eli and George in 1891?


35 Newhall Street, Glasgow Barony, Bridgeton, Lanarkshire


James  BARRETT             Head    Mar    32    Sawmill labourer    Ireland
Ellen    BARRETT               Wife    Mar    36                                   Ireland
Eli Welb  BARRETT            Son               16    Barber                    Channel Islands
George Welb  BARRETT    Son               14    Brushworker           England
Mary    FINDALY              Boarder            19    Reeler                    Ireland
Maria  FINDALY              Boarder             17    Reeler                    Ireland

I can't see the image to see if the transcription is correct but it looks interesting.

Ooooh, Daisy!, that does look very good.
Needs further investigation.

Transcription on Scotlands People has Eli Webb Barrett, George Webb Barrett, etc.
Ages, places of birth, and occupation for Eli all fit.

In the 1901 census 68 Main St, Calton, Lanarkshire
Ellen and James are still living together as a "married couple", with Ellen’s father.

•   James Burratt 42 Head, Born Ireland , labourer
•   Ellen Burratt 46 wife, Born Ireland, Sewing machinist
•   Geo McWhinnay 64 Father-in-law, Born Ireland
•   Liza Brown 29 visitor, Born Ireland, cotton drawer


By 1911 census, Ellen is back to using her WEBB surname, so James must have moved on.
No evidence that James and Ellen ever married, and no children born to them.

[Neale1961]

Possibly death cert for Ellen’s father, George McWhinney (age 68)
1907 Bridgeton   
ref 644 / 1 / 968
Mother - Johnston

(The age is wrong, as we have his marriage in 1848, but that is not unusual for death certs.)

Hi all, very interesting and perhaps fills in the blanks between them all living in Dover, then suddenly appearing in Glasgow/Bridgeton. Likley we will never know the finer details. Thanks for all the help. I have passed the information to some of my Webb cousins who were equally as fascinated.

Hello,

I was reading your thread and my family are the Webbs from Bridgeton. My Dad is Eli Webb and so is my Grandfather. The Eli Webb you are speaking of who was from the Channel Islands is also my dads great grandfather. May I ask who your father is?

Many Thanks,

Lucy Webb.

Hi,

I found this newspaper clipping which seeem to confirm all the information that has been found.

William WEBB's half-sister Eliza LANGLEY married Eli WHADON in 1862, this makes Eli WHADON Eli WEBB's uncle.


Regards, Daisy

I also found a newspaper picture of Eli WEBB after he went missing, how hard it must have been.
