Hi Kev

There is a Titus Webb found on familysearch and Staffordshire baptisms, he was born 1796 in "Brierley Hill". Is this your Titus?

If so...there is some census, early naturalization and passenger list info available which should go a little way to providing a starting point.

The early US census' doesn't give a great deal of information unfortunately and I cannot find a passenger list entry for Titus' original journey to the US but have found a later one (at least) when he was an American citizen.

He can be found in the 1850, 1860 and 1870 census (possibly 1840 census also) and his naturalization petition is dated 4 Feb 1847.

I haven't found Elijah Webb in any other US census apart from the 1850 although I have found a passenger list entry for an Elijah Webb age 11, born England travelling to New York 17th May 1850 on the ship "York Town". He appears to be travelling alone.



I hope this is of some help
