I have on the 1862 census this group:
RG9; Piece: 1017; Folio: 120; Page: 13
Thomas Webb head 73 born Teversham Cambridgeshire
Mary A Webb, wife, 69 born Madingley Cambridgeshire
Mary A Lemon, visitor, 43 born Comberton Camridgeshire, Coal Merchants Wife
George Lemon, visitor, 10 born Fordwich Kent
Now normally I'd put the visitors to one side when I'm just starting to look into a family but these two stand out because Thomas' brother Robert Walker Webb married Martha Lemmon from Shoreditch
So my first thought is that she's a rellie of Martha's somehow, maybe a sister in law, so worth looking into.
I've not really had any luck finding her as Mary Lemmon in the census so started searching for plain Mary born Comberton and found this in 1881
RG11; Piece: 90; Folio: 34; Page: 29
William Clapp, head, 22
Annie P. Clapp, wife, 23 born Fordwich Kent
with ....
Mary A. Webb, mother in law, 63 born Comberton Cambridgeshire
Am I chasing my tail on something thats just coincidences or can anyone see something that I can't?
For reference siblings I have for Martha Lemmon are:
Emma c1820, Issac john 1822, William c1823, Ann Clerassa 1825, Harriet 1827, Sarah 1829, John George 1830, Ellen 1833 and Eliza 1835.
all either baptised or on census as being born in Shoreditch
