Julie, I have tried to find your family and have come up with what appears to be an almost perfect match for the children etc? The fly in the ointment is that they were all born in Berkshire from 1866 to 1879 and no Charles as of the 1881 Census. After a short look see in the 1891 Census they were not to be found? It would also appear that James was b in 1842 and Edith Westall nee Allen was b in 1845, both in Berkshire?

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.
