As a William WEBB aged 52 was buried at Awre - 5 November 1872 residence: Westbury Union

and in October 1874, in prison records - it talks about 'her husband' Philip JAMES (?) of Ross Street, Ross, Herfordshire

It would seem likely, Philip is the father of Elizabeth

Did William die in the workhouse? It's great to have a name for Elizabeth's father even if it is only a first name. Thanks so much once again. I'm really building up a picture of Mary's life now. All this injuries on her body! I wonder if it was due to hard labour or abuse? Maybe both! The 1871 census says William was married but maybe it was just to cover up but then why would Mary not have changed her name?
