Sampson Treliving Westlake

[percy porter]

This enquiry is a new post the background can be found here: http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=775363.0

I am no looking for descendants of the above, his daughter Rhoda came to NZ via Australia married in Auckland and died in Inglewood Taranaki in 1975. As far as we know she had no children.

From the original post above you will see we have a collection of family photos and two albums which we wish to pass on. A mission started in December last year and slowly progressing (we hope) to a conclusion

any help would be appreciated.

This looks like Sampson's birth record

WESTLAKE, SAMPSON  TRELIVING     TRELIVING     
GRO Reference: 1846  J Quarter in TAVISTOCK UNION  Volume 09  Page 496   

On the 1851 census with his widowed mother and siblings

Registration district   Tavistock
Piece number   1883
Folio   10
Page   13

Sampson has six siblings so the potential for descendants could be quite large.

I seem to have located the marriage of one of his sisters:-

Marriages Jun 1867

STRINGFELLOW    Thomas George        Tavistock    5b   642    
Westlake    Mary Ann P        Tavistock    5b   642

Child

STRINGFELLOW, MARIAN  PARNAL     WESTLAKE     
GRO Reference: 1870  D Quarter in TAUNTON  Volume 05C  Page 367   

On the 1871 census:-

Registration district   Taunton
Piece number   2371
Folio   71
Page   17

Mary's sister Eliza K is also on this census.

That will be a dead end.  Marian is the only child and dies unmarried:-

Deaths Jun 1953   
STRINGFELLOW    Marian P    83    Taunton    7c   176

Seems Mary's hubby dies:-

Deaths Dec 1871   
Stringfellow    Thomas George    32    Taunton    5c   280

Another sister's marriage:-

Marriages Mar 1875

MUTTER    William        Axminster    5b   21    
WESTLAKE    Elizabeth Jane        Axminster    5b   21

On the 1891 census

Registration district   Axminster
Piece number   1669
Folio   143
Page   4


I'll leave it at that for now.  It looks as though you will need to do a lot of work searching to find the descendants of Sampson and his siblings and follow them on down to the present day.
