Hi - I am trying to explore a few avenues for you. Am still looking but I found this website you might want to look at: http://www.froyle.com/1841.htm There are Websters there. I'll keep looking for you.

Very small point - what you read as drepmaker is in fact dressmaker. OC

If anyone asks a question and I don't answer, i will be back on here after 8.30pm. Ann Glos

My Gt Gt Grandmother Ann(e) Webster was baptised in 1830 at Highgate chapel, parish of Hornsey county of Middlesex (I have a copy of the certificate taken in 1859) in April 1830. In 1832 the family - Father William, Mother Elizabeth (who seems to have been known as Ann) were living in Highgate and working as (I think live in) servants (he was a coachman) for a Mrs Langford of Highgate, who also had a house in Regency Square Brighton. (I have a letter from Mrs Langford to Ann Webster (The Mother) telling her William is ill and she should come to him from Highgate to Brighton dated 1832).the letter also mentions 'all your children', so Ann was not their only child. William Webster (c1794/96) originated from Froyle in Hampshire. I can't find a marriage for him to either an Elizabeth or an Ann. In the 1851 census Ann Webster a drep maker aged 21 is living with her Aunt and Uncle Harriet (nee Webster) and William Trodd in Botley Hampshire. By the 1861 she is married to William Duffin. I have searched the 1841 and cannot find her anywhere. There are loads of Ann Websters and I have looked at all those in the possible areas. I have a suspicion that William died before 1841, he may even have died in 1832. However, Sarah on here searched the NBI for William Webster's burial in Brighton Sussex and Middlesex and drew a blank and I have searched the Hampshire burial register also with no success. Gwyn (Kent) has searched the PRs for me and found William Webster aged 82 buried in 1856 (I think that is my William's Father) so, where is Ann in 1841? and, if it comes to that where was her mother Elizabeth (or Ann) Webster. And when did William die and where was he buried. And who did he marry and where. I have been working on this branch for many years now and always come up against a full stop. Gwynne has helped a lot and given me food for thought but I still can't solve the above. has anyone any bright ideas as to my way forward. Ann Glos
