Find Living Relatives

Please always tell us ALL you know, to save time and effort being wasted.

It was great to obtain the update on Bernard Webber. We had lost touch after my dad's passing in 1977.
The info on Henry Wilson children was pretty informative. Reconfirms the info which I had obtained a couple of years.

Any thoughts on the info posted??????

Got a reply from Nigel Bishop whom I sent a message to last month.
We share a common great grandfather - Henry Wilson Webber.
It's a pleasant surprise to hear from him.
Always wondered who and where the living descendents of Henry Wilson Webber were.

Have asked the poster to return. He acknowledged the message…………….

He's on 6 public trees on Ancestry.
Only one provides a link to the baptism record already posted on here.
None have anything about him except the DOB given on the baptism record.

Sometimes one has to accept that the record one would like to find simply isn't in existence.

You may not find a birth certificate if his birth wasn’t registered at the British embassy

His baptism however does give his actual birth date so that may all you will find

If they have kept their same email address Genes will notify them. If they have opened the message the coloured envelope will go.
It can take quite a while to get a response.

It may be worth while taking out a trial or short sub to Ancestry so you can contact the tree holders on there as well.

Check whether they’ve opened your messages. Allow time for people to respond - not everyone is constantly active online

When asking for help, please always tell us all you know, and what exactly you are hoping for

Presumably, you know when the sons were born?
One would imagine they are now deceased, in view of their father's birth year

GR members Nigel Bishop and Marina Gaudoin have mention Elphinstone Webber in their family trees. I have attempted to contact them here on GR but got no reply. Not sure if they are still active members.

The reference to FHL film refers to the films by the Church of Latter Day Saints. Probably found through search on the Family Search website .

Elphinstone Grant Webber was baptised in Vepery, so it's likely that he was born in Madras.
He and his brother Lewis Henry Webber left Madras for Malaya around 1910.
Elphinstone had two sons, Bernard and Lawrence.
Bernard resided in Kuala Lumpur while Lawrence was in Penang.
Elphinstone passed away in Penang in 1946.
There isn't much more that we know about him.
His brother Lewis Henry Webber was my grandfather.
I have been searching for his birth record without any success.
