Susannah West - my Brickwall!

[Gary West]

I'm hoping someone can help me through a frustrating blockage in my recent research.

Ive traced back to a family member who lived all her life in Bow Brickhill, Bucks between 1814 & 1852 when I believe she died. Here's what I have on her........

1833 - Birth or Christening record found for Pamillia West
16th June 1833 to Mother Susanna West
NO Father shown

1841 census: -Susan West - Aged 25yrs Occupation shown as Lace maker
Children Nathaniel (5) Peter (3) & Amelia (1)
Bow Brickhill, Buckingham
NO mention of Husband or Father to children


1849 - Christening of children 26th August 1849, Bow Brickhill Bucks,
Ebenezer Bendgio (Bendegt son - as 1851 census?) James, Elijah & William
NO Fathers name recorded


1850 - Marriage of Susannah West to John Chambers (Newport Pagnell)


1851 census - Susan Chambers HEAD 37yrs Occupation shown as Pauper bobbin lace maker
Children Nathaniel (15) Peter (13-Occ shown as Ag Labourer) Amelia (11- Occ shown as Straw plaiter) Bendegt son (9) Tamer (5) Elijah (4) William (1)

1852 - Death of Susannah Chambers

I cannot trace any christening records for a Susannah/Susan West in Bow Brickhill and as she appeared to have had several children before finally marrying a "Chambers" I'm left wondering if she was actually born a West? I appreciate that marriage certs etc. will help me, but just wondering if anyone can throw any light on how I take hre back to her parents?

Probably not the answer you wanted but you do need to get her mariage certificate. And perhaps a birth cert for one of the children born after 1837
West Nebuchadnezer Newport Pagnell 6 384 Births March 1842 ( how it is listed on freebmd what a mouthful)
West Elijah Newport Pagnell 6 418 Births March 1847
WEST Peter Samuel Newport Pagnell 6 278 Births Sept 1837

West Amelia Newport Pagnell 6 364 Births Sept 1839

Birth certs can be a help, my G Gran had 3 children as a single mum and it wasnt until I got one of their birth certs that I got another surname for her..

Appreciate the additional information Valg - wow what a name that Nebuchadnezer is!

[Mutley]

I think, trying to track him in the census, that Peter moved to Hornsey and married a Louisa.
There is a Sept 1861 marriage registration on FreeBMD to a Louisa Trott in Islington.

Ancestry has a marriage of Peter West to Louisa Trott on 14 July 1861 in Islington.
Peter's father was John West, a labourer and Louisa's father was Thomas, also a labourer.
Both were single, of full age and lived at 2 South Street.

I cannot read the witness names, perhaps S. Cannsby and E.Lefeere?

[Mutley]

Neither Peter West or Louisa Trott lived at 2 South Street, Islington in the April 1861 census.

Nebuchadnezer very hard to follow as his name seems to be transcribed as many variations..but think I have found him..
