For the small number of family names for which a search generates more than 1,500 records you will have to refine your search (perhaps using start or end dates) to reduce the number of records found.

Origins of surname

Along with Webb, this name has its origins in 'web', the old English for weave. webbe was a male weaver and webster, the female equivalent

Early records

The first appearance of this surname in Jersey records was the baptism of George, son of Jean Webber and Marthe Mouranbt, in Grouville in 1698. There was then a gap of eight years until the couple's daughter Rachel was baptised, followed by three more children in 1710, 1713 and 1714. It is believed that Jean Webber, who married Marie de Quetteville and had five children baptised in Grouville between 1732 and 1747, was probably another son of Jean and Marthe

Family album

Simon Arthur Webber (1829-1874), had an adventurous life, criss-crossing the oceans several times in his 45 years. He was born in Trinity in 1829, the son of Simon (1800-1874) and Mary, nee Barrett (1807-1862). At the age of 16 he signed up for nine months on the ship *Teaser*, voyaging to Canada to bring back fish in barrels he learnt to make. He then transferred to *Hebe* for 31 months, making further multiple trips to the Canadian fishing grounds.
In 1854 he travelled to Australia on the *Norwood* from Liverpool to Melbourne, working as a labourer and cooper there before going gold prospecting.
He then returned to Jersey where he married Elizabeth Mary Perree (1834-1889) at St Simon's Church in 1858. They had nine children in the next 15 years, the first two in Jersey. But then the desire to travel set in again and Simon took his young family to New Zealand in 1862 on the *Mersey*. In 1870 he set up in business on his own in Shakespeare Road, Napier - see advert above. The shop he rented for his business was damaged by a fire in neighbouring premises in 1871. Simon died in 1874 after contracting tetanus
