Hi veolia - just to confirm your findings: the marriages index confirms that a William R. Webb married a Pattie C. Lascelle in the Sculcoates (Hull) area in 1913, and a William Robert Webb, born 24 April 1887 died in the Scunthorpe district in June 1971. The 1925 directory shows "William Robt. Webb, labourer" at 100 Hatfield House Lane. By 1936 he was described as a "chimney sweep" and he is still listed as such in the 1957 directory. By 1964 he had left the Hatfield House Lane address.

 

As you and Blackbeard have found, the list of victims of the Sheffield Flood does not include anyone with the surname Webb, and needless to say, anyone who died in the 1864 flood would not have fathered a child over 20 years later - but did you mean his grandfather? A William R. Webb of the right age, and born in Sheffield turns up in the 1891 and 1901 Sheffield census returns, his parents being Walter and Elizabeth Webb. This Walter was evidently born at Dereham in Norfolk, but he proved elusive in earlier census returns and I was also unable to find his birth entry. A Walter Webb married an Elizabeth Boston in Sheffield in 1886, but the surname Boston also does not turn up in the list of flood victims.
