  • Charles Edwin Webb brickwall

    Hello all

    Thanks to help from you guys on here I was able to locate the marriage for Winifred Webb and Cyril Hutfield.
    I didnt realise I would be this stuck this soon.

    Her father was Charles Edwin Webb, a Railway Guard in India.
    Winifred was Anglo Indian so Im guessing that either Charles married an Indian or he himself was Anglo Indian too.

    Can anybody suggest how I might get some info on his marriage or his job on the Railways?

    Many thanks

    Where was Winifred born and when? That would give you a starting place for finding the marriage.

    As for the railway job - India was a big place! Not sure if there were centralised railway records or where they would be kept.

      Hiya Nell

      Winifred was born either October 1906 or October 1907.
      I was told she was born in Bangalore but thats not 100%.

      There is a picture of Winifreds mother and she is definately Indian and Winifreds daughter tells me that he grandfather was English.

        I asked you this before but can't remember what you said, sorry!

        Have you found Charles Webb on any census?

          Do you know where and when Charles died, Danny? If so then maybe it will be possible to get his death certificate which may or may not help.

            Hey OC and Kite

            The first mention of Him was on the cert and im told by his granddaughter that she never met him and he more than likely stayed in India when Winifred left.

            I think the only way to find out more is to locate Winifreds birth and order the cert and see who her mother was.

              If Charles' death is listed on the GRO "overseas" indexes then you would be able to get his death certificate and see if it had his wife's name on it (plus hopefully it would give you his age at death and maybe more info about his occupation.

                With his name I would hope it included the Edwin otherwise I can imagine that costing me quite abit of money.
