Strange, I can't find George in either the 1841 or 1851 (using free census sites, And can't find Mary Anne in the 1841. Maybe I should check deaths in case they didn't survive. Although Elizabeth Langford talks about ALL your children which I think insinuates more than two.

Ah, London Belle, that sounds more likely I think. I was wondering how William would have married so young if, as I thought he had become a coachman learning under his father who also was a coachman. It was not impossible that he would have moved to London on his own and met and married at 17 but seemed pretty improbable., and with the first child being born in August 1925 it seems more likely doesn't it?
Well done for thinking outside the box. So William would have been 22 when he nmarried and Elizabeth 25.

thank you I will go with that.

I can't find any other baptism in any other areas of London where the Father William is a Coachman prior to 1825.

Sooo I'm going to throw the cat amonst the pigeons and suggest that William & Elizabeth didn't marry until much later.

I have found this baptism in Bow, Middlesex

Event Date: 23 May 1825
Parish: St Marylebone
Borough: Westminster
Register Type: Parish Register

Witnesses are Wm Geo Paux & John Stamp (as Witnesses show on other Marriages as Witnesses it looks like they are professional witnesses)

how about St Martins in the Field and Clement Danes?

Thank you Ann, I don't recognise the names but I need to maybe do a census search on them (not that I belong to FMP any more or Ancestry so it may prove difficult Lol!) to see if I can link them to the rest of the family, they certainly were not with their Mother in 1841 but the youngest in that batch would have been 16 then and probably in service somewhere. (My brain hurts now!) :-D

Ah, LBelle, that is ringing bells. I think I know about George and Mary Ann. That is the trouble with leaving things for a few years at my age, the memory lets me down. thank you for that, I must search through all the paperwork I have and link them up. Ah, just looked, sorry, I do have Mary Anne and George, I have their baptism dates. sorry not to have told you that. Don't have any others though.

Ann Not sure about james, he might belong to the other gang but I will look, he would fit in with the year but he is not born Highgate.

My concern about a Marriage in 1810 I would have expected a lot more children.

From your other Thread you mention Father was a Coachman and the family lived in Highgate

Here are baptism for with parents William & Elizabeth, Father Coachman in Highgate
Mary Ann Bap 28 Aug 1825
George Webster 8 Apr 1827
Sarah Webster 11May1828
Anne Webster 2 Apr 1830

Thanks Anne. For years I (and my cousin) was misled when hunting for William and Elizabeth Webster in and around London. Unfortunately there are another couple with the same names and boy did we get confused trying to sort out children. It was ages before I manged to find my William in Hampshire. If you can give me the names of some of the other children I can confirm they were from the 'other' Webster family. (My William was a coachman and he died in 1832).

if so, there are at least another five children

could this be them?

Sarah Webster was born in Highgate in 1829, Anne Webster (my Great grandmother) was baptised in 1830 at Highgate Chapel (I have the baptism certificate). On her wedding in 1857 her age is given as 27 so born 1830 as well. her age is

Do you know how many children Elizabeth & William had and when they were born?

Thank you, so it is 1810. No absolute proof that it is my Elizabeth and William. And it doesn't really help to know where she was born as her family possibly moved, but it is a help to know the actual date.
