Research Notes

Rebecca is currently linked as the daughter of Richard Webb and Sarah (Nutley) Webb - however, Rebecca was born before they married and in a different location than any of their other children.

It seems more likely that she is the daughter of the Richard Webb & Sarah (Palmer) Webb who were married in Lyminge, Kent in 1806, and whose children were born in Hawkinge between 1808 and 1829 (Rebecca = Eliza Rebecca, christened in 1829, their youngest child). This Richard and Sarah seem to have passed away before the 1841 census.
