WEST<p>Looking for any information related to the family WEST resident in<br>Tubbercurry Ireland mid 1800's. They subsequently immigrated to the<br>United States. Some to New York and some to Coshocton, OHIO<br>Particularly searching for information on the parents of the following<br>family group:<p>1. John WEST b. 15 May 1846 (m. 5 Sept 1837 to Elizabeth JOHNSTON b.1846)<p>2. Susan Anderson WEST b. 22 Feb 1839 Roscommon(m. in USA to George Willans b. 9 July<br>1842 Leeds)<p>3. William WEST (may have been first born of this family group) was a member<br>of the Revenue Police in Ballycastle Co. Mayo c.1849 [possible marriage<br>to Jane Walker]<p>4. Eliza WEST b. ? (m. EBURY)<p>5. Thomas WEST b.?<p>6. Mary WEST b.? (m. CRAVEN)<p>The above listed brothers and sisters may have had other siblings who<br>remained unmarried.<br>It is believed the father of the above children was WILLIAM WEST, the<br>maiden name of their mother is unknown, it could have been ANDERSON. The<br>parents could have been married circa 1825-35 either in northern counties<br>of England or Scotland or in Ireland.<p>[Church and public records for this<br>period, for the most part, appear to be lost or destroyed, hence the<br>difficulty]. The family has documentation of residence in Ireland in<br>Roscommon, Tubbercurry, Co. Sligo, and Ballycastle, Co. Mayo in the time<br>period 1846 - 1873 from the birth of Susan Anderson WEST to the<br>immigration of John WEST and his wife.<p>Does anyone have information that will help us make some connections<br>regarding the origins of this family group?<br>Does anyone have suggestion of reference sources for locating information<br>on WILLIAM WEST, the patriarch of this group?<p>This history can be viewed at<br>http://www.bright.net/~hhelser/genealog ... <br>Sheila Helser<br>
