  • Could someone help mewith my brick wall?

    I am looking for George Webb born abt 1851 in Beckrow, Suffolk. I can't find him until the 1881 & 1891 census, in London. I also can't find his marriage to Sarah Wilson. If someone could help me I would be so grateful.

          Have I got the correct George in 1881?...he says he's born Middlesex.

          How do you know his wife's name is Sarah Wilson? Do you have one of the children's birth certs?

            In the 1891 census, he says Beckrow, Suffolk. I've been very confused with this man. I was told by others his wife was Sarah Wilson

              In the 1861 there are only 2 Webbs in Beck Row a Samuel and his wife Ann both aged 71. RG9/1143/135/6.

              No obvious births on FreeBMD between 1849 and 1852 in Mildenhall district.

                why would someone say he was born in Beckrow and then in Middlesex? Oh well a brick wall he'll remain for right now. Thanks for looking.

                  There were a number of Webb families in the 1851 census for Beck Row but no George. Quite possibly he was born after the census and the family then left the village.

                    Sarah Brown

                    Risbridge, Cambridgeshire, Essex and Suffolk

                    Are you positive that you have the right surname for Sarah

                      I was pretty sure, but now I don't know. It's funny though that I haven't been able to find him until the 1881 census. Where could he have been for 30 years?

                          It does appear that his wife was Sarah WILSON. The results are fairly consistent if you put in Sarah 1857 +/- 2 Thorpe Suffolk.

                          I think you need to buy a child's birth cert. especially as there is no obvious marriage. Perhaps Sarah was married briefly already & never married George or did so much later when her name would not have been WILSON. A birth cert. should show this.

                          Do you want me to look up her baptism or are you only interested in George? Suffolk RO Lookup.

                              Hi there,

                              It may help to contact the Mildenhall Group of the Suffolk family history society I understand that they have a full set of parish records.

                              Historically Beck Row was included in the Mildenhall parish as it was only a hamlet (now somewhat larger!)

                              The Mildenhall parish also included the hamlets of West Row, Hollywell Row and Kenny Hill.

                              The church at Beck Row is St. Johns a brief history can be found at Beckrow

                              I hope this can in some way help you with your brick wall.
                              Life's a journey not a destination.

                              Currently researching: Makey (Kent), Heath & Neil (London & Devon), Pegg (Norfolk & Suffolk), Gulliford (Cornwall).... Still busy busy!
