Carmen, As you requested I have added you to the WESTALL-L@rootsweb.com membership! I hope those members reading this correspondence can be of assistance to us! In your first email to me you said "I am a Westall. My family tree I can trace back as far as Thomas Westall born 1818. He married twice (few descendants know that). 1st wife was Elizabeth, second was Sarah Ann Banister". From Thomas' Will where he mentioned his sister Catherine Finter I went back to Free BMD and came up with the fact that she married William Finter Bet. Jul - Sep 1843 in Richmond Sry, Surrey, Eng. That would seem to jive with the fact that their first born, William Westall Finter was b Bet. Jan - Mar 1845 in Hawley, Suffolk, Eng. Anyway, realizing that Catherine was only 24 in the 1851 census I looked for her at age 12 or so in the 1841 census. I believe I found her living with her parents, Thomas b 1786 and Cantherine b 1786 Westall in District 6, Chiswick, Middlesex, England. Please take special note as William Pinter or maybe Finter, Catherine's future husband was living in the house also age 15 at the time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
