    3. While researching my ancestor George Webb. the following information was relayed to me: from Leicestershire Banking Company AGM 8th February 1854 "Resolved that a marble tablet to the memory of the late George Webb Esq (the first and twenty two years the faithful Manager of the Bank) be placed in a niche of the cloisters of the Leicester Cemetary." Thanks to George and Jack of this list, I now know that it is likely the Leicester Cemetery is the Welford Rd. Cemetery. There is no record of any George Webb being interred there in the 1850s. George has been very difficult to trace as he (and probably his father also) was in the military. I know that he died May 30 1852 at Dover, so perhaps that is where his grave is located. I'm in the process of trying to obtain an obituary for him. However, I'm not holding my breath on that! If there is SKS on this list who is going to the Leicestershire Record Office for their own research and they would not mind checking the Leicester papers for George's obit. I would be very grateful and will cover any costs.Thank you very much. Pat (Whitby, Ontario
