    1. [WAR] HART WEBB revisited
    2. Peter Smith
    3. From a car boot sale,I picked up(for 10p) a copy of "The Northamptonshire Year Book".ISBN 1-85306-055-0.compiled by the Northamptonshire Federation of Womens Institutes.It is one of a series covering about 40 counties,with accounts written by members of the individual institutes....well worth a read,especially for those of this list who are overseas...should be able to get a copy from your local library! I have HARTs and WEBBs in my tree and found the following extract interesting.... ...."a Mrs WEBB died 1851 at Barby and left everything to her nephew,Mr HART.He let her cottage to a family whose daughter was terrified,several nights in a row,by an old woman,who came and stood by her bed,pointing to a trapdoor into the roof.On being told of this ,the nephew decided to investigate and discovered a bag of gold coins and papers relating to debts owed by his aunt.After the debts were settled,the apparition was seen no more." Are Mrs WEBB and her nephew Mr HART in your tree?.if so, maybe they link up with my John WEBB(1824) of Barby his wife Martha NORRIS(1826) and their daughter(my gt grandma) Sarah Ann Harriet WEBB.(1848) of Crick..she possibly worked in the treacle mines there.
