Webster

The Noble Tribe of Webster represented here by Lord Michael, Seneschal of Webster. There was only one listing of the family in the Hundredorum Rolls of 1273: John le Webestere who was listed in Norfolk at that time. However, by the time of the Yorkshire Poll Tax Rolls of 1379, there were more listings with spellings that are more contemporary: Alicia Wryght, huswyfe, webster; Robertas Webester, webster; Willelmus Webester, webster. [3] For occupational names such as these, the "occupation" was frequently listed after the entry.
