G;day dear listers, warm greetings from Down Under, i am new to the list so thought i would jump in and post my interest . My wifes g grandfather William Joseph WEBB was the first of her WEBB ancestors to come to Australia that we know of, he emigrated about 1850, married a Barbara Barclay in New South Wales 1853 , was widowed in 1866, then married Bridget Stoney in South Melbourne Victoria in 1867, died at Melbourne 1876 , his occupation was a ships carpenter , was christened at St Marys Scilly Isles Cornwall England 1827 and his parents were William WEBB and Elizabeth LEGG . The first WEBB that we know of was an Israel WEBB who was christened at Balefore , Devon , England in 1739 and went to the Scilly Isles in 1761. We also have been told that some of the WEBB family went to USA . If anyone has a similar interest it would be great to hear from you, Brian Johnson (Johno) bjohnson3@vtown.com.au
