In 1841, the Webb family were living in Brook Cottage (still standing, with the same name). Thomas Webb, a haulier had the freehold of this, and the garden at number 149.

The family comprised of Thomas and Mary (nee Smith) and three of their children, Thomas, Henry and Anne. Their two elder daughters, Mary and Charlotte, were working in Cheltenham and Dursley as servants.

In 1851, Thomas had become a butcher. Charlotte was living at home, and she and her sister Ann were working as servants.

In 1855, Ann, aged 22, married Sidney Smith, a labourer. Three years previously, she had had an illegitimate son, Henry. The couple had four children. In 1861, the family were living in Brook Cottage. Henry was in the family, renamed Henry Smith. Next door, at Snightend, lived Ann’s aunt, Mary Mabbett, and her family.

In 1871, the family were living at Purnells Lodge, a short distance from Brook Cottage. Sidney was recorded as being a carter.

Emma died in 1880, aged 47, and was buried in St Martins churchyard.
