Name - "official" name and what they were known as
Date and place of birth
Names of parents ---------
Date and place of baptism - if applicable
Details of each of his or her marriages - if any Moorlinch, St Mary on 23 June 1763 Sarah Meare to Robert Westlake.
Occupation(s) - if any ----
Addresses where they lived (including county if in UK) - and please list which censuses you have or haven't found him/her on (if s/he lived in census times!). ----- Robert was born in Puriton, Somerset in 1768, I am assuming Moorlinch, St Mary is in that area?

They had one child that I know of - Richard Westlake who was born 4 June 1775 (Richards children were born in Puriton also)

Yes, Moorlinch is just a few miles from Puriton.

FreeREG gives the names of the marriage witnesses as George Holbrook and Samuel Sandell.

But I'm confused - how can Robert have got married in 1763 if he was born in 1768?

I think you corrected me a while ago - saying Robert & Richard were brothers, and I've screwed up the information. So if Robert & Richard were brothers, who are their parents? Would you still have that information from when you sent it to me? I changed computers around then, and may not have updated it.

Originally the first information was given to me about 20 years ago.

Sorry to mess things up yet again Kite

Thanks Kite - I had altered it on old computer but it wasnt on the new one. I don't think Sarah Meare is valid now, as she is only MMMM - with no FM available.

In other words, I don't have parents for either Robert Westlake born abt 1739 or Sarah Meare b ?

Thanks for fixing up my mistakes Kite
