Hi all,
Still trying to find what happened to Bessie's first husband Walter,
Beginning to wonder if story of him killed in Boer War is true,
Casualty Ambrose found appears not to be him,

Received the marr cert today,
Walter Henry Webb age 27, marr Bessie Sophia Devereux age 18. on the 22nd June 1892, Ipswich. Suffolk.
He is a Bombardier in the Royal Artillery based at the Queens barracks Ipswich.
His Father, looks like Job or Bob Webb, in the presence of Frederick Augustus Webb (19)
Could the nineteen in brackets be his age ??
and Minnie Louise Webb.
Would like to find the Webb Family.

Job Webb 1832 Gloucestershire married Frances Maria Owen (she died and Job remarried)
had son Walter 1866 and Frederick Augustus Webb 12/6/1867 died 1942, Minchampton Gloucestershire married Minnie louise Westwood born 1868
The latter 2 being the witnesses to Walter's marriage.

Trees on Ancestry,but as always double check the info given.

Thank you Mary,
Could be the lead i need,

still trying to find what happened to Walter Henry Webb 1895/6
I now have his army service record which shows he was discharged 27/5/1901
Royal Artillery, No. 42572.
it also states WO97 Chelsea Pensioners British army service records. (doe's this mean he was a Chelsea Pensioner) Has anyone got access to their records ?
Ambrose states there is no recorded death for him in England between 1899 & 1907
His wife Bessie Devereux re married in 1907 & emigrated to Canada in 1909.

The Boer war details posted earlier for W H Webb are for a different person by the name of William Harcourt Webb

I presume this is the record you have looked at ?
