James Webb Cambridgeshire

[Andruchappelle]

So would you suggest that I order the marriage certificate for James and Ellen to see the fathers name?  NO


His marriage to Ellen Matthews in 1878 is available on Ancestry to view. His father is James (believe his mother is Kezia Wade )

WEBB, JAMES       WADE

Thank you for providing me with that information.
Unfortunately I don't have a subscription with ancestry so I can't see full records.

I do have one doubt though, maybe it's possible that the other James and Sarah had a son called David too?

Although they are not found on any census in the area, so I assume the details of the James you have provided is the correct James.

Thanks again for the help!

The full details of the marriage are:-

16th November 1878 at Hunslet Moor, St Peter

James Webb, 33, Bachelor, Labourer, of Silsbury Street, Hunslet, (as 1881 census), son of James Webb, Labourer

Ellen Matthews, 27, Spinster, of Silsbury Street, Hunsley, daughter of Robert Matthews, Labourer

Both made marks

Witnesses: Look like William Gray and the mark of Mary Ann Bird

One tree has son, David (1882-1924), marrying Ethel Tatham (1886-1953) Q3 1910 in Royston.

Which Webb child is your direct descendant - name - birthyear - birthplace?

Which census do you you have them on & who are the parents?

Yes David Webb is the correct ancestor of mine, born in Yorkshire and he married Ethel tatham.

My dilemma was which James Webb was his father. Because there are two both born on the same year in the same village.

Thank you!

Hi Carole, I am decendant of David Webb born in hunslet Leeds, he is on the census with brother and mother Ellen and father James.

I was just a bit confused because of the two James that exist. But it seems that the one married an Ellen Matthews is the correct James!

Thanks all for the help in solving this
