Hi Linda,
I've been refreshing my memory about this chap and it's all beginning to come back to me. Isn't it typical that I would now love to stay and sort this out but have to go shopping with daughter this afternoon....sigh. Not to worry, I'll be back later.
My interest in this family is rather odd to be honest.
I have a large tree of Wests - mostly from the West Wycombe area. About 6 or 7 years ago, someone contacted me stating that they were related. I was fairly green back then and took it at face value. They sent me a photograph of one of their relations and he was the absolute image of my late father. I was intrigued but forgot about it.
A couple of years later when, having learned a lot more, I was verifying all people in my tree and something didn't ring true. I simply could not tie this chap in anywhere - so I took up the chase for a while and then moved onto other things.
Looks as though I am now back on the chase - and great fun it is too. I would simply love to prove that there is a link because the likeness is too striking to ignore.
Many thanks and I look forward to seeing what you come up with.
R.
