251 Both are remembered on the gravestone of their daughter, Norah-Marion Elain Fisher (28/8/1909-12/12/1933) at St Mary Parish Church, Cemetery, Chart Lane, Reigate Family: Henry Percy FISHER / Ethel Maud Mary LING (F302)
 
252 Both George and Emma were living at 5, Flint St when they married

He served in the Army Post Office Corps. He served from 24/8/1894 for 1 day(?). There is evidence that he had a court martial but the details are unclear. He then served on the reserve list. He was recalled to Army service under a special Army order dated 7/10/1899 and rejoined on 9/10/99. He served in South Africa in the Boer War and was made Corporal 1/3/1900 and Sargeant 1/11/00. He was discharged 23/8/01 with a war gratuity.

The personal information on him includes the following
fair compexion
brown hair and eyes
scar above the left eyebrow
Height 6' 5 3/4" (or 5' 5 3/8"). Weight 119 lbs.

At discharge, he described his next of kin as Elizabeth WEBB, 5, Flint St (ie his mother, not his wife Emma), but he did say his intended home was 24, Flint St presumably (based on 1901 Census), with Emma etc. He states his marriage as 3/6/95 (rather than 2/6/95).

Cannot find any evidence in the divorce records up to 1911, but appears to be living away from Emma at both 1911 and 1921 Censuses

There is a George Benjamin WEBB at 46,Paulin St, Southwark in 1897 (also with William Edwin BARBER at the same address)

Cannot find him in Kent in the 1938 phone directory

At the 1939 Register, he is No 3 in the list, living with Fanny MILES (nee EDWARDS) and her son Dennis. Fanny is a "housekeeper", and married Ernest Edward MILES in 1921, with a son (Ernest) born later that year.

One of the family stories is that all his money went to his daughter Annie, and none to the other 2 surviving children. There does not seem to be any record of a will for George (anything) Webb in 1942, 3, 4, nor a Benjamin Webb in 1942. If there was no will, then the intestacy rules from the act that was current (1925) say that for an intestacy death, with no surviving spouse, there should be a statutory trust, with (broadly) the estate shared amongst the surviving children. The executors would nomally be the beneficiaries. Is it possible that in a time of war, the oldest sister took more than a third? Or maybe George gave her, for instance, the house before he died. Or even, perhaps George did not own the house (if he is No 3 in the 1939 Register), and so there was not actually very much money.

Even the location of the house is unclear. The 1939 Register says it is "Jocelyn" in Yorkletts Road, Whitstable. The death notice says Jocelyn in Yorkletts. I can find no record of Yorkletts Road in Whitstable at that time, so it seems more likely it is a house in Yorkletts, and the 1939 Register information has been adjusted to match this. 
WEBB, George Benjamin (I12)
 
253 Both William and Judith came from West Lulworth Family: William VEY / Judith COLLINS (F373)
 
254 Boxley Abbey is just north of Maidstone. His parents were Joshua and Elizabeth BAKER, and the names suggest a Jewish connection but there is no evidence for this. Most likely that they married 8/6/1829 at St Mary the Virgin at Boxley (and so Elizabeth was already pregnant)

His army discharge records confusingly quote his age to imply a birth in 1931. Not clear why. Other information is more useful...
Joined up 7/10/1859
Left 7/5/1872.
He was 5ft 8.75in, fresh complexion, hazel eyes, brown hair, no distinguishing marks. His intended address on discharge 6, Fox Terrace, New Brompton, Kent. This is near Gillingham. It also says he was a sapper, but obviously for the censusses he thought his muscian skills more important,

I can find no convincing evidence for the 1841 and 1851 Censusses. The most likely would seem to be that Joshua died (buried 15/4/1840 at St Mary, Chatham, aged 35). Elizabeth and the family are at Upchurch, on the southern coast in 1841, and then Abraham is in Deal in 1851 (aged 24, occ Tailor, but born in Deal). 
DENNIS, Abraham Ambrose (I1172)
 
255 Burial details actually say "death" on the transcript but assumed to be a mistake - the burial would record just that, not the death HULL, George (I1201)
 
256 Burial details actually say "death" on the transcript but assumed to be a mistake - the burial would record just that, not the death HULL, George (I1202)
 
257 Burial details are not definite, but seem most likely. If this is correct, it is likely he married Jane LOCK in 1797 in Winfrith Newburgh. GUY, William (I1224)
 
258 Burial not definite, but considered to be right on balance - Peter died in Woolpit too.

If she was right about her age, this means birth 1739 roughly, but Tanner is an unusual name, so the baptism from IGI of 1731 is accepted. 
TANNER, Mary (I312)
 
259 Burial records based on the most likely scenario, given the other Miriam Jackmans around. JACKMAN, Miriam (I722)
 
260 Burial records based on the most likely scenario, given the other Miriam Jackmans around. Note that the marriage of a Miriam to William Saunders is unlikely as based on the witnesses, this is probably a Miriam bapt in 1765 JACKMAN, Miriam (I721)
 
261 Burial says she was known as "Jeanie" VEY, Jane Susan (I991)
 
262 Cannot find a clear appearance in 1881 Census (but some possible references), nor in marriages. TAYLOR, Mary Sarah (I67)
 
263 Cannot find any census data after 1861. He joined the Merchant Navy 14/4/1870, aged 16 (ship "Italy") but deserted when at New York 19/4/1871.

He appears in the following US Censuses:-
1880, 405, Wilson St., Erie, Penns. aged 26, occ "Laborer", married to Mary from Germany, and Charles aged 1
1900, 635, Six St., Erie, Pens, aged 46, marrried 23 years, arrived 1872, occ "Foreman", with Mary, Charles, Mary (20), John (17), Lillie (16), Ethel (1)
1910, same address, occ "Superintendent", at a Rubberworks
1920, as for 1910.

He appears to be in the UK for visits.

Most internet evidence seems to say Mary died in Penns. 1924 
VEY, John Alfred (I993)
 
264 cannot find any death record from 1891 to 1899.

There is a family note to say he died after Aug 1893 
BENNETT, William (I859)
 
265 Cannot find any later census record of George, though it seems highly likely they had a daughter, Maud Emily (1878), and possibly Frederick Thomas (1891) HOLLINGSWORTH, George James Arthur (I290)
 
266 Cannot find any obvious records in 1861 Census nor an obvious death between 1851 and 1861 but there are possible records, including Charles William, Bethnal Green Q4, 1860.... TAYLOR, William Charles (I69)
 
267 Cannot find him, his wife or son in 1891 Census.
Free marriage indices indicate a marriage to Mary DOODY Q3, 1879
There is a Walter DESBOROUGH at 25 Beckett St., Camberwell in 1890. However at the 1891 Census there is only Sarah PARSONS, a widow aged 59 (or maybe 39). Walter William DESBOROUGH is at this address in the 1891 Electoral Roll.
There is a Walter DESBOROUGH and James RICE living at 9, Hollington St in 1897, but neither are present there at the 1891 Census. 
DISBOROUGH, Walter (I526)
 
268 Cannot find in 1921 Census GARNER, Ellen Elsie (I81)
 
269 cause of death is "Chronic ?Endo....? and neck frature following a fall VEY, John Alfred (I993)
 
270 Cemetery records say she was living in Montgomerie Road in Southsea when she died. HULL, Amy Edith (I1128)
 
271 Census info after 1881 is unclear. The most probable is at the Camberwell Workhouse; in 1891 there is a John James Desborough, occ given as "General Dealer", birthplace Croydon, but aged 65. Then in 1901, same location, John Desborough, aged 69, but born in Rochester. There is no better match in the census indexes, and it is consistent with somebody who might have had failing memory etc... and clearly matches the possible death details. Another vague possibility for 1891 Census in St Mary Newington, John Desborough is a 63 year old rope maker, birth given as Ramsgate, but this might have been a mishearing/misrepresentation for Rochester. The family he is with do not match any obvious details in our family. Of course this might be the same John Desborough who appears at the workhouse in 1901.

There is no obvious death details other than 1902.
 
DESBOROUGH, James (I536)
 
272 Charles appears to have been known as Henry Charles for most of his life. However he was baptised Charles Henry, so this is used.

He marries Ellen Jane A CROUCH Oct qtr 1896, Gravesend.

His occupation is given as a steward on a ship. Somewhat frustratingly it has been logged in a report in the Gravesend and Northfleet Standard of 3/1/1913, but the search engine cannot locate the article. The summary on BNA says that he was fatally injured while fulfilling his duties as a steward on Atlantis Transport Liner ?Ifinneepolis?. I have found nothing more on this, but his probate mentions 3, Royal Pier, Gravesend as his place of abode when he died. This is the same address as given by his (married) wife when she filled in the 1911 Census. So he was away for some while.
 
TOMS, Charles Henry (I1088)
 
273 Charles is son of James and Mary.

He married Mary BLAKE 19 Jul 1857.

One site on the internet has his death as 22 Apr 1861, but there is no obvious data to support this. 
CLISBY, Charles Henry (I308)
 
274 Charles left his money to his son Joshua and daughter Lily (and her husband John). Curiously (and probably coincidentally) there is another Charles New with probate same year in Norwood who left the money to wife Mary Jane. NEW, Charles Henry (I1100)
 
275 Charles was a widower (with children from his first marriage) when he married Mary

The 1911 Census confirmed there are no children born to this marriage 
Family: Charles Henry NEW / Mary Jane JUNIPER (F386)
 
276 Check if birth cert gives his middle name, but the baptismal records do, so this is included here.

He was living at 89, Faraday Road, Wimbledon when he went into hospital. He left his estate to Dorothy Maud TAYLOR, (birth name not obvious as no marriage details obvious). The electoral roll for 1945 has somebody of his name in South Ruislip. 
TAYLOR, Leonard Walter (I54)
 
277 Children, based on Censusses are Lydia, Sophia, Emer (Emma).

At the 1871 Census, there is a HOWARD family next door, no 6 
IMPEY, Elizabeth (I255)
 
278 Clara marries Hexekiah John BLADON Q4 1907, Hemel Hempstead

Child who died is almost certainly Kathleen Daisy BLADON (born Jul qtr 1908 Hemel Hempstead vol 3a, p891; died Oct qtr 1908, vol 3a, p434). Children Edith and Edward were born subsequently and are there in 1921 
GARNER, Clara (I63)
 
279 Confusingly there is a marriage between Benjamin HOUGHTON and Elizabeth EVERITT in 1761 in Graveley.

Some of the children may not be theirs, but this marriage and the children are the most likely situation 
Family: Benjamin HOUGHTON / Sarah EVERITT (F250)
 
280 Confusingly there is another Abraham RAMBOTHAM (or RAMSBOTTOM) born in Bury St Edmonds, 1824 to Abraham and Elizabeth. I have followed the information for the one who moved, married and lived in Norfolk, rather than the one who joined the Army and lived, married, maybe died in India, as the dates for the Norfolk line are slightly more likely.

There is a likely 1851 Census with him at the same address as George SELF, who is there as "father in law" at the 1861 Census. At 1851 he is described as step son, but I note that Mary A Ramsbotham is there as daughter. Maryann is Abraham's wife in 1861. They appear to marry on 25/12/1850. So this does seem consistent. 
RAMSBOTHAM, Abraham (I333)
 
281 cremated WEBB, Ellen (I163)
 
282 cremated STAPLETON, Margaret Ethel Dorothy (I314)
 
283 Curiously there is also a marriage between Rosa Emma Cheeseman and John Sorjeant WANDBY or John Serjeant WAUDEY or George DAGWELL Q3 1879, ie after William Hull died. I am unclear whether this relates to our Rosa, or somebody else.

In the Rate books of 2/4/1896, she is at 28, Talbot Road, as owner and occupier
On 9/4/1901, 10/4/1906 and on 11/4/1911, she is at 160, Talbot Road, again as owner and occupier

When she died it was at "the home of her son", but it does not say which.
 
CHEESEMAN, Rose Emma (I1176)
 
284 Daisy possibly marries George ANDREWS Q4 1939, but there is no obvious death that matches her birth date. CLARK, Daisy E (I1238)
 
285 Data for William is best guess and the most consistent with other information but certainly may not be completely correct

Best options on baptism are Sourton (11 miles by road), bapt 2/6/1765, to William and Mary, or South Tawton (6 miles by road), bapt 8/3/1767 to William and Jane. 
COOMBE, William (I839)
 
286 Data on birth and parentage is best match found in IGI and Suffolk indices but it is only a best match and may not be correct!!!
Some family trees have a 1851 Census at Eye, but this seems unlikely given the distance and the name Emily next to her. There is no record of any children after Anne Maria on IGI so death in 1839 seems most likely 
MOTHERSOLE, Ann (I357)
 
287 Data on Francis Freeman based on somebody of about the right age in the same village. Reasonable but not definite by any means.....

My reading of the handwriting looks like "Frances", ie the female version, though it does clearly say "son of". However I have used "Francis" as it is not clear, and simplifies things in this tree.

Note - 2 different docs on baptism, but the one chosen appears to be the contemporaneous one..... 
FREEMAN, Francis (I154)
 
288 Daughter of Walter and Jane MARSHALL, Jane (I218)
 
289 Death date from IGI records is almost certainly incorrect and should have been recorded as burial date IMPEY, Thomas (I414)
 
290 Death date is not consistent with BMD info which indicates her dying Oct qtr 1922, Portsmouth aged 88, vol 2b, p641. Possibly a typo and the death should be 13/12/1922???. Note that her husband left his money to his son, which would imply that he died after her.

I assume that Joseph went to Muswell Hill after her death to be nearer his son FW HULL. 
GUY, Harriet (I1149)
 
291 Death details are difficult to confirm but the following provides something consistent for both Albert and Edith.

Albert appears to have died Q1, 1955, Hackney, vol 5c, p893, aged 79. Buried at Abney Park Cemetry, Stoke Newington, plot section B01, Index 8S12.
Edith appears to have died Q4, 1961, Tonbridge, vol 5b, p1034, aged 88. Probate details indicate she died 26/11/1961, 105 St Johns Road, Tonbridge Wells, with the money going to Barclays Bank. But there is a record at Abney Park Cemetery of Edith Mary Webb died 1961 aged 88 in plot section B01, Index 8S15. Edith being in Tunbridge Wells is consistent with where her son Alfred died too. This is therefore assumed to be correct.
 
FOWLER, Edith Mary (I107)
 
292 Death etc based on the most likely death/burial entry. There is no certainty that this is correct thought. possible entry is a burial at St Mary Newington on 15/5/1847 of Henry Hall aged 7yrs and 4 months (should be 5 months if it is our Henry). He was living at Nelsons Court, North St., Newington. HALL, Henry (I511)
 
293 Difficult to find out much about this person. His christian name is presumed from the best match BMD record for marriage, and Jessie is married and head, but there appear to be a lot of soldiers around.

The most promising is the 1871 Army list which also names him as a Sargeant in the Royal Engineers (ie a match to the marriage record), in the 32nd company, based in Portsmouth, Reg no 7143. The 1871 Census (and hence birth info) follows this.

The death info matches the date of his last child, the remarriage of Jessie and the fact that she is married but without her husband at the 1881 Census. The 1881 Census is consistent with this as he is in hospital, and the genealogical info is right though he is described as a clerk and timekeeper. 
ANDERSON, John (I883)
 
294 DOB is not clear; it could be 14th or even 10th July. JUNIPER, John (I963)
 
295 DOB might be 8/2/1868 - this is what the baptism records say. However, the BMD index and the school registration details, and even Census imply 1869. So 1869 is presumed, and also it is assumed that there was a mistake by the parents or even the vicar.

Assuming the 1911 census info is correct, and it seems very likely, then there is no obvious marriage and so the most likely thing is she died 1914 in Chesterfield - with no parents or spouse, she might have moved a long way from London....? 
BIRD, Augusta Lucy (I135)
 
296 Dora marries William FRANKLIN 25/12/1912 SMITH, Dora Henrietta (I231)
 
297 during WW1 HOPKINS, Arthur Harold Cecil (I482)
 
298 Edward married Susan KING on 26/8/1819 at Great Yarmouth, witnessed by Edward (his father presumably) and Elizabeth Juniper (presumably his sister), amongst others. WOOLMER, Edward (I972)
 
299 Edwin (or Edward as he was known in most of the records), went to Quebec in 1894 (aged 23), and clearly married there, had one son, and then returned to the UK. BIRD, Edwin William Garribaldi (I134)
 
300 Elizabeth Ann Jackman has 13, Monoson Road but the death announcement is clear, along with the burial register. Neither gives a house number, but I am taking it that it is No 13, albeit a different road. HULL, Flora Ann (I1126)
