It looks as if Frederick was born Ill. He was given the name of Webber from the first marriage. As he grew up he must have decided to return to his birth name.
I have had one like this in my line. From a young child he was known by the surname of Barker. He was born ill under Tunnicliff and married under that name. He continued to use the name barker and his children were reg with the name. Even though he was ill. his mother Tunnicliffe married the father Barker. I think the vicar was being to precise.
Have to get hubbuys tea on now so will get back to you tomorrow.

Wow Rose.I go to bed with all what you gave me and now I get up to all this.You lot work 24/7.What can I say.All this info is just too hard to take in it is amazing.You say that this is from the IGI.Is this all likely to be genuine facts.We knew that there was a reason for the Webber and it may be possible that the father in the 2nd marriage wanted him to have the same name,so they gave him the name Webber and lost the name Williams.What I can not understand is why would Fredericks illeg children to Sarah be called Webber rather than Williams as this is the name that he had on the marriage certificate.
Anyway,we also think that at some point they came over from Germany.Looking at one or two of the kids names that you have sent me at Marions birth,I think that we are getting closer to that.I am presuming then that I would be hard to find a birth for Fred Webber or have a missed it somewhere with all this info.Will look back now and have a check.Also presuming that the Frederick Williams on his Marriage certificate (deceased) is his GrandFather..Colin
