I have a cheep computor program that makes family trees. It is very, very slowly starting to match up. Thanks everybody so far. Please excuse my stupidity but this is the first time in my life that I have done this. There is still a long way to go e.g who are hettie and nellie? Who was this West who had a death card?

Hi in the Booth family were an Esther b 1887 and an Ellen b 1889 possibly later known as Hettie & Nellie?

Odd that on the 1871 census with Godfrey & family is a Thomas Matthew West b September qtr 1857 Orsett v4a page 104 mmn Challis, so how could this be, was he her twin?

PS An on-line tree suggests he was born 4th July 1857 Horndon on the Hill.

I am going to try and digest this info bur it seems to be making sense. I will get some info on the Wood  I think she must be the the Nellie. A Hettie was married to a Will Wood and lived in London. Is Hettie a short form for Ester? The Nellie was married to a King in the Bury St Edmond's area. I will see if my sister, when she comes back from her hols, has any info stored in our mothers wooden box of papers.

Is Hettie a short form for Ester?

It can be      Esther is also sometimes Hester
