    3. Good morning listers My name is Stephen Westley and I am searching for information on my Great, Great Grandparents. I believe that they may have been transient workers, as I am finding it very hard to fill in the gaps in their lives. Thomas Westley & Phoebe Davis were married on the 23 January 1821 at St Leonards, Shoreditch, London, Middlesex. Originally, I thought that they were "natives" of London, but after considerable searching and professional research, I can still find no sign of them until 20 February 1833 when their so called youngest son William was baptised at St Marys, Islington. He was 1 month old when baptised and may have been born in another county, although his parent's address was listed as Payne Street. At the age of 16, William migrated to New Zealand, so I have quite a lot of information on his life, however Thomas and Phoebe once again managed to disappear. I have since learned that Phoebe was married to Isaac Webster on 19 April 1852 at St Pancras Parish Church so Thomas must have died prior to this date. Maybe a family from this list has a Thomas and Phoebe Westley that were not married in the area but who have children born in the parish or elsewhere. I have already placed this notice in Kent, Surrey, and Hertfordshire lists with a limited amount of success, but a lot of helpful advice. I look forward to hearing from a cousin!!!
