Surnames: WEBBER NICKERSON CRAWFORD Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/AFB.2ACE/1808.2 Message Board Post: Using the information Katherine found in the census, I looked up the marriage record for these two. You'll be happy to read: 1889 Marriages Vol: 399 ; Page: 153 Registered in the City of Boston No. 2738 August 8 (recorded Aug 12) James W. Webber - res. Boston - age 22 - occ. Brass Finisher - born in Charletown - parents James W. and Isabella - first marriage Agnes S. Nickerson - res. Boston - age 21 - occ. Dressmaker - born in Nova Scotia - parents Vincent and Arletta - first marriage Marriage performed by Rev. R. B. Moody, Boston There is also a marriage record for Seretha Nickerson: 1891 Marriages Vol: 416 ; Page: 129 Marriages registered in the City of Cambridge No. 696 11 November (recorded 12 Nov) John A. Crawford - res. Cambridge - age 24 - occ. Milk dealer - born in Boston - parents Thomas and Mary - first marriage Seretha Nickerson - res. Cambridge - age 21 - occ. Domestic - born in N. S. - parents Vincent and Arletta Marriage performed by Jesse Wagner, Clergyman Cambridge In the 1900 census for Agnes Webber, it says she emigrated in 1882. Seretha Crawford's 1900 census image states she emigrated in 1885. (She is listed as Ritha, in Cambridge with husband, two children, and brother-in-law.) I looked up death records for any James Webbers in Lynn, but there were none between 1841 and 1910, so he probably died after 1910. Birth records (images aren't available) show spelling of their children's names as: Webber Velma May Lynn 1891 412 418 Birth Webber Waldo William Lynn 1893 430 446 Birth (Note the difference from the census in the son's birth year.) Waldo W. Webber's WWI (whew!) draft card states his birthdate was 27 June 1893 and he was born in Lynn. He was working as a Draughtsman for (?) N. H. N. H. & Hartford in Boston. His residence was 13(?) New Park in Lynn, Mass. He was single. No one was dependent on him. He was medium height and slender build, and had brown eyes and brown hair. The draft board was in Lynn. On 5 Sep 1896, it looks like the Webbers traveled back from Yarmouth, Nova Scotia on the ship "Yarmouth" (arrived Boston 6 Sep 1896): J. A. Webber, age 28, F, Am. (nationality, as opposed to U.S.), last res. Am., destination Boston, tourist Bilma, age 4, F, m. Waldo, age 3, F (!), Am. Emma Nickerson (or is it Nickmon?), age 18, U.S. (nationality) And then again - but this time with her sister, sailing from Yarmouth, Nova Scotia on 29 Aug and arriving on 30 Aug 1903 in Boston on the ship "Prince Arthur": Mrs. J. A. Crawford, 30, Female, Married, Tourist, able to read and write, nationality "A", last residence N.S., Helen " , 9, F, S, Tourist, cannot read or write, A, NS Luhan " , 5, F, S, Tourist, cannot read or write, A, NS Mrs. Jas. W. Weber, 35, F, M, Tourist, able to read and write, A, NS Velma " , 11, F, S, Tourist, able to read and write, A, NS Waldo " , 6, F (!), S, Tourist, cannot read or write, A, NS Waldo W. Webber later lived in Everett, according to the 1922-23 city directory, at 21 Andrew. Oh - and I found James W. and Agnes Webber in the 1920 Lynn census, but they are indexed under Weber. Their children are not living with them. And they are in the 1910 census in Lynn, but they are indexed under Wabber. Daughter Delma A. and son Waldo W. are living with them. James is a Pattern Maker for General Electric. No of children born and living remains at 2 each. Address is 73 New Park Street. Hope this information will be helpful.
