⚑ May combine several people — entries span 188 years; separation in progress

“John Webster” likely stands for several same-named individuals (a father and son, or namesakes). The printed indexes drive the separation; until then all 16 entries stay pooled here.

Similarly-spelled families (suggestions, not merged)

These surnames sound close to Webster (e.g. Warenna/Warenne, Conestable/Constable). They are kept separate on purpose, some look-alikes are genuinely different families (Clare vs Claver). If you are sure two are one family, tell us to merge them.
