I'm hoping all the West investigators are still on here.
The Uncle you speak of is my 4 x Great Grand Uncle Major West who came to Australia in 1815 & ended up being the Assistant Surgeon in the Sydney Colony amongst other things & the story of getting most his equipment taken in a pirate attack on the high seas.
Hi Wallabywest. This is Joe from a new account as I no longer have the login for the oakmead account.
For some reason I searched for "West family Eglinton" for the first time in many years. Saw your post and recognised that to be my family. I am the grandson of Elizabeth West from Eglinton. She was my father's mother and died long before I was born. She married my grandfather Adams who was a English soldier from Bermondsey in London. They lived in Cross Street (in the census it is spelled as Gross Street) and then Ebrington Street for many years, and that is where I was raised. Looking forward to hearing from you and we can exchange more information in the coming weeks.
Joe
