Help with my searches please

Given the uncertainty of the Fathers and therfore that blood line, I'd love to know more about Susan/Susanna and her parents, location etc.

I can't see a baptism for a Susannah West Bow Brickhill 

There are a number of Susannah's baptized Bow Brickhill namely

Susannah Smith 8 Jan 1810 parents James & Elizabeth
Susannah Henman 8 Mar 1812 parents James & Charlotte
Susannah Garratt 2 Jul 1815 parents William & Elizabeth

There are these two marriages Smith to West on familysearch

Susan Smith to William West
16 Mar 1833 Wycombe Buckinghamshire

Susannah Smith to Thomas West
26 Dec 1834 St Boloph Bishopsgate London

The only way of confirming her maiden name is to obtain one of her children’s birth certificates and then obtain her 1850 marriage certificate to John Chambers which should give you her father’s name

Superb help thanks

Gary, as you have Wests in Bow Brickhill (the village is now part of Milton Keynes) you might like to go to the Milton Keynes Heritage Association site www.mkheritage.co.uk and select "View Heritage websites here" and then Bow Brickhill from the list.

Then from the options down the left hand side of the Bow Brickhill site select "Genealogist's page" and you'll see that there is a link to the WEST family.

Might be worth following that up as well as looking at the info on the site about the village to give you a flavour of where Susanna once lived.
