Gloucestershire / Re: Westbury's from Fairford
« on: Thursday 28 March 19 10:08 GMT (UK) »
Hi Nick Westbury,
I have found a Sarah E Carter (Westbury /Westoby) apparently the later was the likely maiden name of Sarah E Westoby was an aunt of my father, Harold Jack Westbury born 15/07/1916. I am trying to find my UK relatives and I have searched back to Henry WESTBURY died age 78 buried 21 September 1834 at Eastleach Turville. Mary the wife of Henry WESTBURY Snr - age 73 (c1758) - buried 5 May 1831. I am unable to find Henry's parents or place of his birth (c 1758). Can you assist?

Hi Throwback2,
Sorry about the negative view of family searching, it does not mean we do not cherish and love those still alive and enjoying life! Not so sad!

Hi Steve,
Thanks for all your work and info, I think I really owe you at lot.
Really feel for young John Westbury, as at 18 years old, I guess he was aware he wasn't wanted, that's why he must have left the family farm at Leech's Gully, married a local Tenterfield girl, Annie Elizabeth Collins, in 1897 and came to Sydney, without any assets, to make a new life. You said James Westbury also was around when John senior died, he would have been around 21 years old, did he marry or what happened to him? I think you told me he died in Mascot in Sydney. I wonder whether he came down with John?

Hi jm,
Thanks I shouldn't have asked Steve, but I just wanted to see where we were both located.
Thanks for all the info, but still trying to navigate the Roots Chat forum.

Hi Sue, Don't know what to think or how to move forward. These revelations by Steve have really thrown me and I am unsure what to now search for.
The Legal Notice in the Newspaper indicated that John Westbury died intestate, so John left no Will and that his estate was left to his widow, Hannah Westbury. Now John owned 130 acre property which he purchased from the crown in 1869. That must have had some value and John & James must have been some help?? I haven't found any evidence that Hannah Westbury married again and apparently the children were stated as Richard 15 ,William 13 ,Thomas 10,Eliza 9,Elizabeth 7,Sarah 4 and Robert 3 at the time of John's death in 1894, James and John were not mentioned, but he died without a Will? Their sons and daughters were apparently those making the claims.

Hi Steve,
Thanks for the kind words of support, my Dad, Harold Westbury really did it hard when his Dad, John Westbury died young at aged 60 in 1936, The Great Depression was on and they were turfed out of their family home in Lidcombe in Western Sydney, my dad was the youngest, he had an older brother, Percy, who died at aged 16 years in 1920 of Spanish Flu. There were two older sisters, Daphne and Ethel Westbury, both were married and Daphne and her husband, who also had a son, took my dad and his mother into their two bedroom home in Enfield in 1936. My dad married in 1942 and his mother died at place sisters home in 1953. Can I get your email address, so we do not need to put it on the open Roots Chat Forum?
I live in Tumbi Umbi, I am married with two sons and am retired - and as a coincidence, my birthday and Hannah's are the same just 90 years apart.
