I’m looking for any information on Webbs who lived in Melbourn from the arrival of my great, great, great, greatgrandfather John Webb (born in Great Shelford, about 1780). He lived in Melbourne from the early 1800’s to about 1865. He married a girl from the village called Sarah and they had at least six children: John (who married another Sarah, nee Smith), Mary (1813-15), James, Samuel, Joseph and Charles. The three Johns and James all lived out their lives in Melbourn. My great, great-grandfather Joseph moved to Romford in about 1856/7; the others I know very little about. A great website! Thank you.

My G G grandfather Ebenezer Wedd was born in Melbourn around 1789 and married Mary Stockbridge (born in Melbourn 1790) in 1816. They arrived in Australia on the Bussorah Merchant in 1850 with their children apart from Thomas and Joseph who stayed in England and Matilda who married George Gouldthorp and went to Australia later. Thomas was my G grandfather and I have most details of his line. Joseph married Ann Albon but then seems to disappear, a Joseph and Ann are in the 1841 census but this is not the same Joseph as the age is wrong. Does anyone have details of Ebenezers son Joseph and also can anyone help me on who Ebenezers parents were. If I can help with the Thmas line please contact. Peter Wedd – peterwedd@tiscali.co.uk

INSTALLING A HUSBAND

Dear Tech Support, Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed a distinct slow down in overall system performance, particularly in the flower and jewellery applications, which operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0. In addition, Husband 1.0 uninstalled many other valuable programs, such as Romance 9.5 and Personal Attention 6.5, and then installed undesirable programs such as RALLYCAR 6.0, PREMIERSHIP 5.1 and Golf Clubs 4.1. Conversation 8.0 no longer runs, and Housecleaning 2.6 simply crashes the system. Please note that I have tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems, but to no avail. What can I do? Signed, Desperate.

Dear Desperate, First, keep in mind, Boyfriend 5.0 is an Entertainment Package, while Husband 1.0 is an operating system. Please enter command: ithoughtyoulovedme.HTML and try to download Tears 6.2 and do not forget to install the Guilt 3.0 update. If that application works as designed, Husband 1.0 should then automatically run the applications Jewellery 2.0 and Flowers 3.5. However, remember, overuse of the above application can cause Husband 1.0 to default to Grumpy Silence 2.5, Happy Hour 7.0 or Beer 6.1. Please note that Beer 6.1 is a very bad program that will download the Flatulence and Snoring Loudly Beta. Whatever you do, DO NOT under any circumstances install Mother-In-Law 1.0 (it runs a virus in the background that will eventually seize control of all your system resources.) In addition, please do not attempt to reinstall the Boyfriend 5.0 program. These are unsupported applications and will crash Husband 1.0. In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great program, but it does have limited memory and cannot learn new applications quickly. You might consider buying additional software to improve memory and performance. We recommend Cooking 3.0 and Hot Lingerie 7.7. Good Luck! Tech Support
