George & Joseph Weston, b in Stoke, Staffordshire in 1752 & 53. ,Highway men, hung at Tyburn, they robbed the Bristol mail. It is a story in my family that my Uncle John did some family research about 40 years ago and found these 2 forbears, he promptly gave up his research, didn't want black sheep in the family. Whether this is true or not I would like to find out. My research takes me back to William Weston. Born abt 1796, possibly in Huntingdon. In 1844 stated to be a grocer. Lived at one time in Brighton Sussex where many of his children were born. John Bray, James, Charles, mother Harriett. The following children may also be his by a different mother called Mary, namely Eliza, Mary, Elizabeth and Mary Jane.
