    According to Family oral history Adelaide brought their 2 boys down from Pelsall to try to save the marriage.So this must have been in 1949.

    Webb, Joseph Scott

    Clearly he couldn't.I'm piecing together snippets of info from several sources, that aren't backed up by records.Maybe he served up to 1948 in RAF.

    Webb, Joseph Scott

    Further info from distant family suggests he returned to UK and was serving in RAF at Albrighton or Cosford up to about 1950 only to disappear again with a lady named Margaret. From an Ancestry.com contact I think I have his departure onboard "Boston City" and his return in 1952 so I was wrong...
