James West Look-Up
« on: Tuesday 12 March 19 13:48 GMT (UK) »
Can anyone help me find as much information as possible on my great-grandfather, James West? In some records, I have found his name listed as 'James F L West' which I believe is Frederick Leslie as my Grandad's middle name is Leslie.

He was born in Hull and, to my knowledge, it was around 1921-1922, though I'm not 100%. I have never even seen a picture of him sadly, though I wish I could.

His wife was Dorothy Maddra and his son was Allen Leslie West (my Grandad).
His parents were James Osborne West and Florence Ellen Walton.

Thank you in advance!🙂
