My Mum Elizabeth Joan Westall (86) passed away peacefully at 11:45am yesterday the 20 March 2010. Gone to join Dad in Heaven, miss them both. Ian
I'm thoroughly enjoying 'sleuthing' this one! It seems the 4th Queen's Own Hussars were in India c1896-1905 and South Africa 1905-1909, so I wonder if 'Charles' ever returned to the Northern Hemisphere when his time expired? http://www.qrh.org.uk/history4a.htm So far as his age is concerned, the early November 1915 attestation gives his age 38 plus one-twelfth [not a half], so it would be fair to assume his birth would have been between September and October of some year between 1870 and 1880. It just so happens there was an unnamed male registered in the Sep Quarter of 1872 in Newbury District - a possibility for Ernest Francis? Location of his baptism is a necessity. I can envisage any red-blooded Englishman wanting to show patriotism at the outbreak of WW1 and, for fear of being regarded too old for service, I reckon he'd be inclined to lop a few years off his age - only admitting to his actual age of 43 at discharge when he was too 'crocked' to care ....... It appears he had a drink problem and a rotten memory for someone who practised deception ..........

Hi all Wow the plot thickens! I am thinking on the same lines as Margaret and Fred that maybe Charles was a naughty boy and changed his name from Ernest to leave his 'crimes' behind in England. I am now searching for Ernest on passenger lists just in case he came as Ernest and changed name upon arrival here in Australia. He may have even been a stow away - adds more intrigue to the mystery. Fred I like a good mystery too and love being a super defective!!! I would love to know where the details of Ernest's records are - I did a search on the Old Baileys online but drew a blank there. I'll be back hopefully with a find cheers Julie ----- Original Message ----- From: Fred Westall To: westall@rootsweb.com Sent: Thursday, March 18, 2010 8:03 AM Subject: Re: [WESTALL] Charles Westall Middlesex to Australia Thanks Margaret. I notice that in several places in the Army Records his address is just given as 'Shaw Crescent' and no number is given. Perhaps the person compiling the record on behalf of Charles made the transcription error or perhaps Charles was just trying to cover his tracks by giving a house number he knew didn't exist! The age he gives in the army record is also inconsistent in places. I'm leaning towards Dorothy's hypothesis that Charles and Ernest Francis are probably one and the same person!

That's quite a mystery you've got there Julie! I only saw a transcription of the 1911 census (not the original document) so it is very possible (probable?) that the actual address was 32 rather than 37 Shaw Crescent as transcribed. If so, that would definitively place Charles with the family of James Westall and Edith Head. In both the 1901 and 1911 census there is a Charles Westall (b.1898 in Cold Ash, Berks) listed as grandson to James/Edith. There are no clues as to his parentage that I can find. I can't find any sign of either Ernest Francis Westall or his elder brother Henry (b.1866, Speen) in the 1911 census. They seem to have vanished by then! The AIF WW1 records for Charles are quite revealing. Several different ages are given - including age 43 when he was admitted to hospital for treatment in 1916. That would give his DOB as 1873 - coincidentally the year that Ernest Francis Westall was born in Leckhamstead!! If only we had digital cameras then someone coulss have taken a photograph of his many tattoos!! Ears always prick up when 'convicts' and 'Australia' are mentioned in the same sentence!!

Hi Fred, Bob, Dorothy & Christine Fred & Christine it is great to hear that there is a connection with Charles WESTALL and your families - I am related to his children through his wife (my great Grandma) - Edith Amy WESTALL Born 1918 Died?

Next project. When my Great Grandma married Charles she had 4 children with Great Grandad and somehow they ended up in an orphanage for a time. It is hard putting together the pieces of the puzzle but there was some animosity as a result so it wasn't spoken of around Mum. Bob, the young Charles in 1911 couldn't be Charles that came to Australia but the family appears to fit so I checked on Charles WW1 Army records (AIF) he has his father James' address as Shaw St although 37 instead of 32. Interesting Unfortunately the records in WW1 required an age but not DOB which is a pain. I worked out he was born abt 1879 from his marriage cert but going by his army records it could have been as early as 1876.

Hi Dorothy and Bob Thank you very much for your help with the Westall family - I obtained the surname ALLEN from the New South Wales marriage certificate of Charles and my Great Grandma Alma Constance Kershaw. However the name that Alma put down for herself was Amy Miller born in England and she entered her parents firstnames correctly but she used Miller her married name as the surname of her parents James Kershaw and Mary Ann March. Obviously this was a red herring to conceal her identity seeing as she was still married to my Great Grandad Anthony Jacob Miller. It is all interesting because I have found this death entry on Queensland BDM that may be Charles 1944/3984 Charles Westall Father James Mother Edith Head It very well could be him as the mothers name is listed as Edith HEAD Now that Dorothy has found Edith's surname as HEAD I wouldn't be surprised if Charles also sent out a red herring too in his details on the marriage certificate and used ALLEN as his mother's surname. I have proven that the marriage certificate is theirs so I know for sure that the information it contained was not entirely correct. I don't know what would have taken him from near Sydney up to QLD but there is/are no other Charles Westall's that could be him. I wonder if he remarried? I appreciate the census details Bob I am still digesting the info they contain and am also grateful to Dorothy for the marriage details for James and Edith - cheers for now Julie
Bob, According to my records John Appleford Westall and Elizabeth Lewington had two sons named William: 1. bap 27 Nov 1789, Ramsbury, d. bef 1799 and 2. bap. 12 May 1799, Ramsbury m. Mariah Dobson 18 Jun 1821, Ramsbury. He was the father of James Westall b.1841 in Boxford. I think Boxford (Berkshire) is quite near Ramsbury, which in turn is near Marlborough in Wiltshire.

Hi Julie I discovered there was a grandson Charles in the household in 1901 aged 3 ......... Any idea of the age of the supposed 'Charles' who died 1944? Would a UK criminal conviction have been sufficient incentive to change a name and personal details for entry down under in the 20th Century?

Hi everyone I come from a land downunder and have been trying to find what happened to Charles WESTALL son of James and Edith nee ALLEN. I have managed to find his siblings (listed below) I do not know when he came to Australia and when and where he died. He married my Great Grandma Alma Constance nee Kershaw while she was still married to my Great Grandad (she married as Amy Miller born in England) - [just after Great Grandad arrived home from WW1 - they divorced in 1923] Charles and Amy (Alma) had 5 children of which I have info on and possibly another who died in infancy. In latter years Alma (Amy) was with her first hubby (my Great Grandad) I haven't found anything to suggest the whereabouts of Charles WESTALL after 1931 where he is listed in the Electoral roll in Martin NSW living with Amy (Alma). I would be interested in knowing some more about his ancestry in England too If anyone has any ideas as to what happened to Charles post 1931 or know anything about his family history I would love to hear from you. Thanks in advance Kind regards Julie 1. James WESTALL (b.Abt 1953-Middlesex,England) sp: Edith ALLEN (b.Abt 1857-Middlesex,England) 2.
