I have a brother of Louisa ,Philip b 1879 Poplar, Bow,London don`t know if there were any more children it would be a great help if you could also find that out for me.

So many with the name Philip.

Thank you
Sheila

Good morning Patchem /MarieCeleste.
Your information sounds very likely ,I had not thought of a Devon connection.
I found on Find My Past 1881 census a Frederick W Webb b 1877 Swansea which matches with father William b 1852 Talgarth Brecknockshire mother Elizabeth b 1859 Cymmer Glamorganshire.
Then looking on Free BMD I think the maiden name for Elizabeth was Price and they married Mar 1873 Crickhowell.
1881 living 20 Westbury St,Swansea(Town) it all matches so I hope I have the right people.
Thank you for all the help you have given me .

If the 1911 I posted is correct then it suggests that everyone may have met in Devon. Philip Puxley had Devonshire connections as he was there on the 1891 census, Frederick William Webb was living there and so was Helen.

There's nothing to suggest Helen ever lived in London. She may have started a relationship with FW Webb whilst in Devon and when their marriages broke up Philip went back to London and she and FW went to his native Swansea.

This is purely hypothesis so you really do need to order some certificates to get more detail.

Which censuses have you found your Frederick W Webb in?
(Parents' names?)
Thanks

Hello everyone
I have been looking on Free BMD and there are a lot of Frederick W Webb`s getting married in the London area.Some in Pancras and Hackney where Philip Puxley was.
I am wondering if my Frederick W Webb b 1877 Swansea went to live in London when he was younger and got married but then he met Helen Puxley nee Chown and they both separated from their other half and then went to Swansea to live.
Is there any way of checking if this could have happened please.
Thank you
Sheila

Hi patchem/MarieCeleste.
Sorry no marriage cert ,only knew her when in my teens and she was with Frederick Webb in Swansea and they came to stay with us at Stoke Canon in Devon.
Have only just found out she was married to Philip Puxley,
No children were spoken about or any other family.
Helen and my grandmother Susan were half sisters their father was Frederick Chown b 1849 Exminster
In 1911 census Helen was living with her parents Frederick and Jane at Middle Tousington Cotts Exminster.
AS there are no Aunts or Uncles alive I doubt if I shall ever find out how it came about that Philip was in London and Helen in Swansea.
Thank you
Sheila

Can't see Philip & Helen together on London ER
Couldn't see any children on FreeBMD, either.

As suggested, the marriage cert might help.

Have you got Philip and Helen's marriage certificate, and do you know of any children?
Helen was 31 at marriage, in wartime.
Which side of the family are you connected to?
Thanks

Thank you for the information.
Is there anywhere that would say if Helen ever went to London with Philip or how she landed up in Swansea or maybe she went to London and met Philip there before coming back to Devon to get married.
