1837. Elizabeth Webb was baptised on 25/6/1837 in Penkridge, Stafford to Lucy Webb - Ancestry England Select Births & Christenings 1538-1975

Her sister, Eliza Webb, was baptised Penkridge 14/9/1834 to Lucy Webb - FS . Eliza also had 2 children out of wedlock befre marrying a James Wilcox ~1858

1841C. Think this is she, Market St., Penkridge

Lucy Webb Female 30 1811 ag.lab., Staffordshire, England  
Eliza Webb Female 6 1835 Staffordshire, England  
Elizabeth Webb Female 4 1837 Staffordshire, England

1851C. Lucy Webb. 46 unmarried, pauper servant, b. Brewood, is in the Newbridge Union Workhouse, Bargate Street, brewood, Penkridge, Staffs, with Eliza 18 and Charles 7 . So, Lucy born ~1811 and there is a baptism for her penkridge to William & Mary Webb in 1811

 

Lucy Webb, 50, washer woman, unmarried, b. Penkridge, appears in Market Street, Penkridge in 1861C . She is the unmarried mother of Elizabeth Webb, also Eliza & Charles Webb

Lucy Webb dies 1865. Buried, aged 54, Brewood, SS Mary & Chad, on 26/12/1865- FMP. Thus 1811-1865

1861C. Elizabeth Webb, - mistranscribed - 25, with a 3 mth old baby, is a housekeeper to William Wilson, 34, a labourer living Mitton, Penkridge. Odd for a labourer to have a housekeeper!!

William Wilson Head Unmarried Male 34 1827 Agricultural Labourer Sandbach, Cheshire, England  
Elizabeth Niblo Housekeeper Unmarried Female 25 1836 House Keeper Penkridge, Staffordshire, England  
Mary Niblo Housekeepers Daughter - Female 3 mths 1861 - Penkridge, Staffordshire, England

Doubted that Niblo was her name -certainly was not convinced on the N! Think it might read Webb . And Ancestry actually transcribes her as Elizabeth Webls . And there is a birth for Mary Webb Penkridge Mar 1861.

There does not appear to have been a legal marriage between William Wilson & Elizabeth Webb 1861-1871 or even 1861-1881

Penkridge ~ 10 k S of Stafford. Bickford ~ 3 k W of Penkridge . Wheaten Aston ~6 k W of Penkridge

Coppenhall ~6 k NNW of Penkridge. 2 k SW of Stafford

~1874. Have not found Fanny Wilson's birth on BMD/FMP or Ancestry. But baptised as Fanny Wilson Coppenhall to William & Elizabeth on 29/4/1874, father a labourer-FMP .

BUT, there are births of Edith Webb 1863, Jane Webb 1866 ,William Webb Sep 1869 & Fanny Webb Jun 1874, all Penkridge. So my opinion is that William never married Elizabeth. I could obtain Fanny Webb's 1874 b.c to see if there is any clue on it to her father

Elizabeth Wilson Wife Married Female - 75 1836 Staffordshire Penkridge

1912. William Wilson, 87, dies Stafford Dec 1912. No probate

Cannot find a sensible death for Elizabeth Wilson, nor Elizabeth Webb, in Staffordshire, but she could have moved to where one of her 4 remaining children were living
