The Children of Godfrey West and Elizabeth Hadzor

To recap: Godfrey West married Elizabeth Hadzor, the daughter of Dr. Seneca Hadzor on July 3rd 1759 in Downpatrick Church of Ireland, according to Family Search, and on July 3rd 1760, according to Blackwood. 

Note also that the Family Search Site records the birth of a West child in Downpatrick in 1734, to Thomas West and Mary, interesting given the appearance of a Thomas West in the Downpatrick Freemason records along with Godfrey.

In any case, the four children of Godfrey West and Elizabeth Hadzor were:

i. Susanna (or Juana) West. She was baptized on the 4 July, 1761, and died 23rd February 1851, at ‘The Hill’, Downpatrick. She married William Casement.

ii. Catherine West was baptized on the 14th January, 1763 in Downpatrick. The Belfast Commercial Chronicle recorded her death in 1847. There is a reference to her as one of the owners of the Irish lands in the 1881 auction documentation. She does not appear to have ever married.

iii. Maria West was baptized on the 13th February, 1765 in Downpatrick, and died in Stoke Newington, London on the 23rd January 1846. She married Richard Wombwell in St. Pancras, London on the 23rd March, 1802.

iv. John West was baptized in Downpatrick on the 16 October, 1767 and died young, according to Blackwood's notes.

Harriett Wombwell, the daughter of Maria West was to name one of her children - Catherine West Robinson - after one of her Irish aunts. 

Since John West died young, that just leaves us with Susanna (Juana) and Maria. 

Susanna lived to the ripe old age of ninety-one, according to Blackwood, and died in Downpatrick in 1851, the last of the Wests of Downpatrick in our Hadzor-West line.

 Susanna West lived somewhere close by.

As detailed by Blackwood however, and through the Peerage Website and elsewhere, there is a wealth of information about Susanna's - or Juana's descendants, to whom we will shortly turn our attention, before returning to the youngest of the sisters, Maria West.
