Hi Liz.
Thanks for your message.
William Francis West was my G G G Grandfather b 1807 Whitechaple London d 1863. G G Grandfather also William F West b 1829 d 1863 who M Sarah Stammers they had three son's William, Henry, John Sarah brought them up on her own.
My Grandfather John Edward West professional cricket player for Middlesex and England b 1861 d
1920 London ( Roman Road east End )
Married Elizabeth Maria Welch Grandma. They had six children Lily, Reginald, Glady, Harry, Vera and Mum Alma.
Mum was Alma Sarah West b 1909 Bow London d 1951 Haworth Yorkshire ( better known has the Bronte Country due to the Bronte Family Literary sisters )
I guess somewhere down the line we could be cousins removed as the say.
Good to hear from you and thank you for the snip about the Debtor's prison, interesting. He must have picked himself up because when he passed away in 1863 he left over £3,000 pounds. In them days a lot of money, i think could be millions pounds today.
I'm a big cricket fan the season has just started, it must be in the blood. Our Yorkshire coach is a Aussie, Jason Gillespie, he is good, won the championship past two years.
Please keep in touch, would love to know more about the other branches of the family.
