Hello Listers, I am compiling family histories of men who fought in our local villages, of Kingston Bagpuize, Southmoor [Draycott Moor], and Hinton Waldrist. This is for an exhibition we [Local history Society] http://www.longworth-district-history-society.org.uk/programme.htm are holding on the 21st April. Currently researching the WEBB family. All the children of George William and Mary Ann Webb who lived at Little London, Southmoor, with the excepting of Frederick were baptised locally. I have hunted the above parishes and also Drayton, Abingdon where his father tells us he was born. Maybe I missed him? Anyhow, a Canadian newspaper report of his war record tells me that he was born 04 May 1887. Can anyone help by finding the baptism of Frederick, his father George William Webb b, ca 1860 and George William's marriage to Mary Ann Waller please? Very many thanks.

Forgot to add that Frederick's mother was born Abingdon, according to the census and the newspaper account says he to was born Abingdon, but that may well mean Southmoor. -----Original Message----- From: Jill Muir [mailto:jill.muir@shottle.plus.com] Sent: Tuesday, April 12, 2011 11:04 AM To: 'oxfordshire@rootsweb.com' Subject: WEBB Frederick of Southmoor born 1887 Hello Listers, I am compiling family histories of men who fought in our local villages, of Kingston Bagpuize, Southmoor [Draycott Moor], and Hinton Waldrist.
