Henry Westbury
« on: Sunday 16 September 18 11:10 BST (UK) »
GWestbury: Hi I am searching for relatives preceding Henry Westbury who was born 1756, Eastleach Turville, Gloucestershire, England, married Mary Ann Page at Highworth, Wiltshire on 30 October 1780. Died aged 78years in 1834, buried 21 September 1834 at Eastleach Turville, Gloucestershire, England. I have been searching, but have hit a brick wall can't seem to get back beyond 1750's any help or advice would be appreciated - church records have not yielded anything new?

Quick question - where does the information about being born in Gloucestershire come from?

Hi Phillip, I got the info about Henry Westbury being born Eastleach Torville, Gloucestershire from references by others on this site a week or so ago. I was searching from known family.. John Westbury born 1824 Eastleach Torville, Gloucestershire and then I have worked back.  Thomas Westbury, son of Henry was born 2 February 1800 at Eastleach Torville, Gloucestershire, Baptised 2/2/1800, married Ann Tuffley 17/10/1821  etc. and now I am trying to find parents of Henry prior 1756, but have hit a brick wall.
Cheers Grahame

Link to related thread:

Reading through that thread, I'm not sure about Henry being born in Eastleach Torville.  Certainly he was raising a family there after 1780, but I wouldn't discount other parishes for his baptism.

A-hunting we will go!

Hi Philip,
I have seen the shoemaker reference of John Westbury before, that is not in the family tree as far as I am aware.  But it appears that getting to records of Henry Westbury back prior or including his 1756 birth, seem almost impossible to find - for me in Australia anyway.
