My Webb Ancestors

I have 2 Webb ancestral lines. The most recent link was from Berkshire with a 2x Great Grandmother Mary Elizabeth Webb who was born in Beenham in 1836. My second connection was from Sussex and with a 7x Great Grandmother Mary Webb who married in 1712 in Hollington.

Berkshire Webbs

I must give my very grateful thanks to Geoff Webb, who has provided very nearly all the information in this site about the family and descendants of Elisha Webb. Geoff descends from Elisha's youngest son, Joseph Webb, whilst I descend from his second eldest son Richard Webb.

Richard's daughter Mary Elizabeth Webb was my 2x Great Grandmother. She was born in Beenham, Berkshire, but baptised in Mortimer, Berkshire in 1836. She died of Scarlet Fever in 1874 when the youngest of her three children was just 22 months old. She married John Warman in 1866 in Reading. Both were from Primititve Methodist families.

Mary Elizabeth's mother was Elizabeth Ann Tyler and she was about 23 years old when she married Richard Webb who was then about 46. The couple had 9 children.

Richard's mother Judith Ham married Elisha Webb in Bramley, Hampshire in 1783 and they had 10 children.

Elisha may have been baptised in Nuneaton, Warkwickshire, the son of Richard Webb. Elisha was the heir of Robert Webb (1715-1780), and I am wondering if Robert was the Grandfather of Elisha, or maybe an Uncle.

Sussex Webbs

My 7x Great Grandmother, Mary Webb, married in Hollington, Sussex in 1712 to Thomas Stoneham. At the time of their marriage they were both of Hollington, but neither would seem to have been baptised there. Mary was most probably baptised in Bexhill in 1691, the daughter of John Webb and Elizabeth Jenner.
