About Green/Westall & Armstrong Families
Please sign in to see more. I wish to inform anyone visiting this family tree, that I am a newcomer to this genealogy work, which my wife worked so hard on. All the work up to 2010 was carried out by Kay my dear late wife. I have just started looking at it myself, so I am a novice and it will take me some time to find my way around it and how it works, if I ever do. If you wish to contact me, please do so and I will try to help as best as I can. (from this point on it is all Kay's work).
Hello all, I have updated our family trees. To try and keep it easy to follow it shows the direct ancestor's branches only, not our complete tree. It does however show the siblings of individuals within each branch of the tree, but not the descendants of those siblings. I'm afraid there are no connections to Lords, Ladies or Knights in shining armour, however, there are some interesting people.
The Westall family tree has 14 branch names, with some information about 12 of those branches recorded in the notes. There are only a few Westall's as their ancestors, I have discovered were ''Green'' the male branch is unknown, there are no direct connection with Westall's earlier than 1855/1875. This leaves the main four branches GREEN dating back to 1805, a second GREEN back to 1806, CHAMBERLAIN to 1780 and HUGHES which also date's back to 1810. The Armstrong family has 20 branch names, with some information about 17 of those families. The four main branches are ARMSTRONG which date's back to 1737, COX dating back to 1737, FOULKE back to about 1771 and EASTER which date back to 1814.
We all know of our grandfather William Armstrong, who was
awarded the British Empire Medal for his work as foreman in the building of Guildford Cathedral. Did you know? many of our earliest Armstrong's were christened married and a few buried by the Rev George Austin, father to the authoress Jane Austen. Or about our Dora Foulke nee Easter's uncles, Brothers Ted and Jack Easter who in their Newstreet Mews workshop made the prototype Bentley motorcar? And of great grandfather Edwin Foulke who as engineer for Bradfield College, advised the headmaster and boys of the school in building the 1600 seated Greek theatre in a nearby chalk pit.
Links to the Armstrong family: -We are distended from the first wife of James Harry Easter, the Easter/Mingay tree is administered by a descendant of James Harry's second wife.
