Research Notes

There is a baptism for a child of Peter and Sarah Webb in Fulbourn on the 23 May 1830, the record does not have a name or sex of the child, there is a line through the entry, but it could have been the baptism of John. ^[8]

His marriage to Agnes Clayton confirms he is the son of Peter, occupation shoemaker (as in the 1841 census) and his age from the 1841 census (11), emigration to South Australia (22), marriage to Elizabeth Shuttleworth (30) and his death in 1901 (71) all place his birth c1830-31.
