About Green/Westall & Armstrong Families
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.
