Hello! My first post of the forum and I hope someone can offer me some advice!
I have been researching my step-dad's family tree and have been unable to find his grandfather or his family. All we knew is that his name is Edwin Webb (although Edward has also been used),he was from Kent and his brothers had very religious names.
I finally made some progress recently by finding Edwin's marriage certificate which arrived today. His date of birth is approx 1892, his father was Ernest Webb who was a farmer.
Despite this new information I can't Edwin or Ernest on any census! I have done every search I can think of and to no avail (e.g changing place of birth, name variations, ww1 records for Edwin).
Have I missed something? If anyone can help me get over this very high wall I would be very much appreciative.
