Looking for my Grandmother, Mabel Webb born c1896.
She married my Grandfather Wilfred Albert Bristow 18 May 1918 at Dursley Tabernacle Church in Gloucester. Mabel's occupation was a munitions worker. Her father (on the wedding cert) was Henry Webb a Carter
My Grandfather was born in High Wycombe but was sent to Dursley during WW1 to help guard PoW's in a prison there.
Soon after the war they both returned to High Wycombe where they had 3 daughters, my mother being the youngest born 1922.
Mabel died 26 May 1923 at Henley Sanatorium.
No other information is known. I have contacted Listers (the firm in which she was probably employed in 1918) to see if they hold records going that far back. Still waiting for an answer.
There are a few Mabel Webb's on the 1901 census of about the right age but none with a father by the name of Henry
Will be going to Glos RO this weekend - where else would be a good start to look for her? I don't even know for certain if she was born in Glos.
