Good Morning Listers Can any-one really bright suggest any reason why an ancestor of mine was born in Bordeaux, France circa 1856? She was MARY ANN WEBB, sister to my Grandmother, EMMA CECIL WEBB. Her parents WILLIAM and ELIZABETH WEBB came from Worcester and Gloucestershire respectively and had some of their children in Ruardean, Gloc and some in Llanharry, Glamorgan. William Webb would have been an Ag Lab in 1856 and I can’t imagine why he and his wife would have gone to France unless it was to pick grapes. It seems a very adventurous thing to do especially if Elizabeth was pregnant at the time. Mary Ann seemed to have been their first child. If any-one can shed light on the conditions of the time and a possible reason for this I would love to hear about it. Best Wishes Eirwen
