    Notes 
    • William was a wealthy businessman in Torbay. He and his family owned several properties and businesses in the area and in partnership with his son-in-law, William Stedham, owned builder's merchants, Paignton Brickworks, a cement manufacturing plant and other building related trades and industries. Webber and Stedham also owned Honicknowle Brickworks at St Budeaux, on the outskirts of Plymouth. I'm not sure whether the business still exists today (2011), but the builder's merchants (Webber and Stedham) were still in business in 1963.
