GUEST,Phil d'Conch Folklore: J.H. Webb and The Nassau Phil. (Bahamas) (8) RE: Folklore: J.H. Webb and The Nassau Phil. (Bahamas) 24 Nov 20


Jacob H.(arold?) Webb (? - 1908.) My late father, the family genealogist, took a swing at J.H. many decades ago but, alas, came up with less than you already have. His obituary is in the last '08 issue of the Nassau diocesan quarterly, which I've never been able to get at.

He was married; wife (names?) also a musician. They had at least one child, a daughter, that we know of. Mother Webb died February, 1911, in England.

Rumor has it he was a Long Island Webb but born England and his father (?) came to the islands to switch the British madras experiment school systems over to the “normal school” model. Fairly recent arrivals if true.

I know he lectured on music for ages (Literary Society) and arranged more than one light opera piece for local performance but the only song I knew of was Port Nelson (to follow.) What else is there?
