Hi,let me introduce myself,my friends call me Anne,I am forty- something and I am married to Noel. We have two grown children, a daughter of 24 and son of 29. Our first love, after the children of course, is cats. At the present time we are the proud carers of six persians of different colours, who are our bosses instead of the other way round.
I began researching the Websdale family from the Lowestoft area of Suffolk, England, as a surprise for my mother about six months ago, but what started out as a small foray into genealogy has, now, turned into a quest for more and more information. It seems the more I discover the more I want to know,and the more corners I turn there is always just another one to try. So the outcome of this small start is a family tree that includes my family history and that of my husband and all related branches which I hope may be of interest or help to others.
The earliest ancestor I have found so far is ROBERT WHEBESDELL who married MARGARET ROY circa 1621 in the DICKLEBOROUGH/DISS area (I THINK!) the tree is a little sketchy from here until we find ROBERT WEBSDALE who married REBECCa MOWLES b.Abt 1761 in Wortwell Norfolk. Her son SAMUEL WEBSDALE (a.k.a.Samuel MEADOW WEBSTER)was born 1802 in Wortwell his father was SAMUEL MEADOW b.Abt 1771.
SAMUEL WEBSDALE married ELIZABETH WRIGHT, b.Abt.1804 in Alburgh Norfolk, in 1825 under the name SAMUEL WEBSTER.
Samuel and Elizabeths son HENRY WEBSDALE b.1842 in Wortwell married HANNAH LOVETT, b.Abt.1845/6 in Horsford St. Faiths Norfolk, in 1867 at Oulton Suffolk.
Henry and Hannahs eldest son HARRY (christened Henry), b.1868 in Oulton Suffolk, married EMMA JANE JILLINGS, b.1872 in Kirkley Suffolk, in 1892 in Lowestoft Suffolk.Of Harry and Emmas many children JACK, b.1910/11 in Lowestoft, married GLADYS HEWITT, b.1913, in 1933 in Lowestoft who were my mothers parents.
There are still a few gaps in the tree, but if anyone has any information that might be of use I would be grateful to hear from you.
As I said at the beginning, my travels have taken me well off the Websdale trail onto others but it's been fun. Here is a list of other names contained in the tree.
BENNETT(Nfk) CHAPMAN(Nfk/Cambs)GRAVES(Lincs)HARRISON(Nfk)
HEWITT(Nfk/Sfk)JOHNS(T)ON(Nfk)LAMBERT(Nfk)LOVETT(Nfk
MEADOW(Nfk)MOWLES(Nfk)PEPPER(Nfk)SAVAGE(Lincs)
SEYMOUR(Nfk)THEOBALD(Nfk?)WRIGHT(Hunts)YOUNG(S)(Nfk)
I have recently started work on the paternal side of the tree but at the moment I have to report that I am failing miserably, but I shall keep trying. All I have so far is ERNEST CHRISTMAS YOUNG(S) b.abt.1879/80 W. Raynham Norfolk? married ELIZABETH WRIGHT b.abt.1879/80 Conington Fen Huntingdonshire. I believe they may have married abt.1900 in Wisbech Cambs but no luck so far, still I'll keep on.
UPDATE ON WRIGHTS
ELIZABETH'S parents were Thomas and Catharine Wright. Thomas b.1849, Sawtry, Hunts. Catharine b. 1851 Godmanchester,Hunts.
If any of the names seem familiar please use the link below to have a look at the full tree and if you are related please get in touch for a chat or just chat anyway!(They say I talk too much anyhow)

Family Photos

  • Harry and Emma Websdale nee Jillings (14 KB)
    Harry and Emma are my maternal G.Grandparents. Harry was born 1868 in Wortwell Norfolk, Emma was born in 1872 in Kirkley Lowestoft Suffolk.Between 1892 and 1918 they produced 17/18 children.
  • Ernest Christmas and Elizabeth Young(s) nee Wright (18 KB)
    This picture of Ernest and Elizabeth was taken about 1910 and shows them with three of their children. The eldest I believe to be my paternal Grandmother Pansy b.1904 in Wisbech Cambs, the two others I think may be Daisy and Rosie who both died young. I believe they went on to have at least four more children. Pansy died in 1996 aged 92.
