Hello. New to this list and looking for any information about a Peter WEST and family in Tarring, East Preston or similar. I have the family on the 1881C North St, East Preston. Peter 59 and Maria 56 with a daughter Alma, 25. There is a possible marriage for Peter and a "Maria", with the wife's surname CHOPPER on freebmd. On Family Search there is reference to a Maria WAITE with several dates for a birth, death and burial but I can't find a marriage for Peter WEST and "M" WAITE. There is a birth ref for Alma WEST on freebmd, Dec qtr 1855 Worthing District, ref 2b 245. In 1876 a Caroline WEST, spinster of full age, married Henry BRYANT. Her father is shown as Peter WEST, labourer. In the next census - 1881 - her pob is given as West Tarring, age 27. In 1891 she's age 37. I want to send for this Caroline's birth certificate as there was a story told of a mystery surrounding her birth. There are plenty of Caroline Wests on freebmd but none in Worthing District. There are several marriages for an Alma WEST at an appropriate time. Is there anyone researching these families or could help with further information, please? Such as the family's whereabouts in previous census. What is strange, is that last year I was contacted by someone also tracking WESTs. Their family rellie worked for a firm HENTY in West Tarring and they had looked for him in Tarring and I thought she said there were no WEST names in the Tarring parish reg. Any assistance gratefully recd. Thank you. Joan.
