We have received the following email from someone researching the Parwich Webster families:
Hello,
(Updated 25th Nov 2013)
I am doing genealogy research for my friend who is directly related to the Webster families from Parwich area.
If any of your readers could assist me in any way, it would be greatly appreciated.
At this time, I have gone back many generations, including finding Joseph Webster who was a farmer working the Ball Croft Farm with his son Thomas, but who also was shown on the 1901 Census as being the Publican of The Sycamore Inn, Parwich and living there.
There are also references to members of the Webster family at Dam Farm, Dale End and 3, Gotham Farm, Parwich. There are references to the members of the earlier Webster families being farmers, cattle dealers and a butcher; presumably in the Parwich area.
I am particularlly interested in George Webster, born in 1919 and who served in WW2 [Welch Regiment], then returning to the UK from Klagenfurt, Austria in 1947/1948 with his Austrian wife Hermenegilde [maiden name Huala – an army interpreter]. I believe that George Webster was a haulage contractor operating in the Ashbourne area, but he might have had siblings Thomas, William, James and Phyllis living in the Parwich area. Their parents were Thomas and Elizabeth.
If anyone can give me information on Hermenegilde Webster, probably born in 1926 in Austria and who I believe died in approximately 2010, this would be invaluable. I also believe that she returned to Austria after George’s death in 1984, then subsequently returned to the UK until her death. The Hermenegilde Webster [nee Huala] position is difficult to trace; we know that she was born in Austria, probably eight to twelve miles from Klagenfurt and also that her grandfather [at least] was living in Croatia, where the surname might have Hvala, pronounced Huala. We believe that until her death, Hermenegilde Webster might have been living in the general Parwich / Ashbourne area.
If anyone could email me an old photograph of the exterior of The Sycamore Inn, Parwich this would greatly appreciated.
Kind regards,

There were several Webster families in Parwich, not all of which may have been related. But if you can supply any information please either add a comment below or email parwich@hotmail.co.uk or email Keith directly.

The licence records for the Sycamore Inn have a Joseph Webster as landlord from some time between 1891 and 1901 to 1903. He then was farming at Church Farm. In the 1911 Census the family at Church Farm consists of Joseph and his wife Annie with three adult children, Thomas, Millicent and William, living at home.
The following image is taken from work on Church Farm undertaken by the local researcher Generations Back (see http://www.generationsback.co.uk/Home_Page.php ).
Walter and Millicent Wayne were also at the Sycamore from 1936 to 1942 and again from between 1942 and 1946 to 1955. In 1955 their son Walter (known as Ken) took over the licence and was there until 1968.
Milicent Wayne was my late wife Suzannes grandmother, and my two daughters great grandmother, now Pickard
There is information on another Webster family in the Local History Society Newsletter Issue 13 (see http://www.parwichhistory.org/Issue%2013.htm ). This includes the family of James and Mary Webster who were at Blanche Meadow Farm.
Four of their sons, Arthur, Samuel, Leonard and George served in the Great War, and perhaps remarkably survived the War.
Not sure if this is the same Webster family or not. However, James above did have an older brother Joseph, who is the right age to be the Sycamore/Church Farm Joseph Webster.
The Sycamore Inn is pictured here during the tenancy of Fredrick Augustus Glover (1908 to 1923), who is believed to be the man in the front garden.

Perhaps just worth pointing out that Ballcroft Farm and Church Farm are the same place.
