I'm only missing Grace in 1891.

I'll create and post a rough tree and then try to find where Hastings fits in.

Just looking for Grace in 1891 and came across this [being the same name] Grace's father Joseph had a sibling Grace, 1842 same parents - George West and Grace Horn. Maybe her marriage..

Thanks Geoff.

That has to be the origin.

There is at least one other middle name which is the married name of a sibling - Walker

I don't have Alexander's death.

Trees no help, has U/K spouse for Grace..

[DaveHam9]

1877 death looks ok for age but wonder if mmn = West is an error.

There is at least one other middle name which is the married name of a sibling - Walker

Possible if Grace remarried... bro. Joseph fits..
