Thanks Shona - I had all that but thanks for looking!
I thought I'd found a likely marriage for a William and Joan in the City but can't find it now

[Sue from Southend]

Doh! It wasn't a marriage I found but the baptism of another possible child Dorothy Webster d of William Webster and Jone, 1st July 1740, at St Botolph's Aldersgate which is where their grandson Joshua ended up....

No lead on a marriage though.

[Shona]

So the Dorithe born in Sunbury in 1745 could have been named after her deceased sibling.

Seems likely to me but the elder Dorothy is not added to my tree - just a footnote.
