Along with Webb, this name has its origins in 'web', the old English for weave. webbe was a male weaver and webster, the female equivalent
Early records
The first appearance of this surname in Jersey records was the baptism of George, son of Jean Webber and Marthe Mouranbt, in Grouville in 1698. There was then a gap of eight years until the couple's daughter Rachel was baptised, followed by three more children in 1710, 1713 and 1714. It is believed that Jean Webber, who married Marie de Quetteville and had five children baptised in Grouville between 1732 and 1747, was probably another son of Jean and Marthe
