I recently visited the London Metropolitan Archives and found the following Webb baptisms at ST JOHN'S MISSION, COPENHAGEN ST, ISLINGTON. I hope they may ring bells for someone: 1] William Harold Smith Webb born to William Smith Webb [a foreman] and Ellen. Born 9 Sept 1904 at 26 Hanover St. Bapt: 16th Oct 1904. 2] John William Gordon Webb born to Albert Henry Webb [plumber] and Harriet. Born 24th Dec 1905 at 4 Caledonian Rd. Bapt: Jan 29 1905. 3] Elizabeth Ann Webb born to Henry Webb [clerk] and Elizabeth Ann. Born 5 Sept 1890 at 18D Beaconsfield Buildings, Randall's St, Islington. Bapt: 5 April 1905. 3a] Also to Henry Webb [clerk] and Elizabeth Ann, born at Beaconsfield Bldgs: Florence Ellen Webb, Born 22 June 1894. Bapt: 19 April 1905. Lilian Amy Webb, born 24 June 1903. Bapt: 19 April 1905. 1891 Census: 5 Francis St, Islington: Emma L Webb, Widow, age 56. Born Bow. Edward E Webb, son. Age 23. Born Islington. Engineer Bookbinder. Louisa E Webb, daur, age 21, born Islington. Dressmaker. Clara L Webb, daur, age 19, born Islington. Dressmaker. Harriet M Webb, daur, age 16, born Islington. Assistant. Would love to know if this means anything to anyone! Paula Webb London PS. Has anyone come across any info on a Margaret Webb [domestic cook] who gave birth to an illegitimate son John Webb on 6 Dec 1904 at 78 Copenhagen St, Islington? She's my illusive great grandmother.

We had conversed once before re the Webbs in/around Islington & I would love to make the great connection across the pond. Is there any guidance you can provide as to how I might locate info on this Webb's doublesoda company that existed in Islington? A museum, historical society, etc.? Even bottle clubs/collectors generally would have some knowledge of the people who ran the company. Do you know: doesn't the words "for her Majesty the Queen" being printed on the bottle simply mean they were contracted or hired to supply this article to the Royal Household? Appreciate any guidance. Perhaps if I get something on the family, something will fall into place. Thank you for posting this listing! Very kind.
