Ann, Just to correct your posting. You capitalised Webb which is the normal procedure for surnames. This child was John Webb EDGE. One presumes that his mother originally came from this area and she went "home" to give birth. And just to point out to Mike Fry, these transcriptions were not American, but by a Leicester man, who presumably transcribed them as written - with Co. Nottingham as per the registers. The EDGE family of course lived in Strelley Hall and owned most of Strelley and beyond. They had to sell land to Nottingham City for the building of Broxtowe and Strelley estates, and possibly parts of Bilborough too. They owned The Broad Oak inn at Strelley and being religious wouldn't permit it to open on Sundays, much to my father's annoyance!!

It is an excellent site, the best I've seen yet. John WEBB, son of Thomas Webb EDGE and Elizabeth of Strelley, Co Nottingham bapt. Nov 24 1790 at St Michael & All Angels (Church Register, 1572 - 1906). I lived in Strelley till we married and moved to Linby. And on a tangent, just to let Bob and Janet in Gisborne, and anyone else here in NZ, know that we are going to watch the Nottm Forest v Watford match LIVE on Freeview TV Channel 14 tomorrow morning from 8.40 a.m. It's a wonderful Sports channel and we have watched Forest live a few times this season.

Nottingham as per the registers. Apologies to him, but in my experience, registers are generally written with Co. of Nottingham, which is more acceptable to most UK-researchers. -- Regards, Mike Fry Johannesburg
