Hi,  I am new to this list so am posting my interest. My maternal grandfather's name was WEST and his family came from Reculver in Kent. I have just started researching this side of my family and have them back to a Thomas West born about 1802 who married Alexandra Campbell (Leeds) allegedly an orphan from Dalkeith, Scotland bought up by the Leeds family. I am hoping to go to Canterbury soon to check the Parish registers but if anyone has any Wests from Reculver in their family tree I look forward to hearing from you.  A family story handed down the generations was that of four brothers who were fishermen drowned together in a terrible accident. I have not found anything to give substance to the story, all my Wests were Ag. Labs.  I am thinking they moved to Reculver from somewhere else around 1800 as all of them in the censuses seem to be just from two families.     thankyou               Derek
