Hi cousin, It's a pleasure. But I think the original source of the information was Christine - so I think she should get the credit for tracing our earliest Wiltshire Westall's. By the way, I now believe that Sarah Sylvester (1660, Lacock) was the daughter of Edward Sylvester (bap 30 May 1624, Lacock) and Mary. The Sylvester line in Lacock can then be traced all the way back another 5 generations to Thomas Sylvester (b. 1525, Lacock) who married Elizabeth in about 1547. These were my 11th great grandparents and so far it's the longest ancestral line I have on my father's side. Please let me know if you want the details.
