    Were they all in the Frensham area? I might be able to find something for you.

      I haven't found much, but it might lead to something:

      My Stilwell family came from Shotter Mill Linchmere and my Harding family from Frensham.

      A lady called Greta A. Turner has written two books on Shottermill, which also mention Frensham as it is in such close proximity.

      Shottermill its Farms, Families and Mills
      Part 1 - Early Times to the 1700s
      Part 2 - 1730 to the Early 20th Century

      I have found a Richard West in Part 1, page 228.

      She is talking about "the last great parcel of land - the Great Prupersture" and that in 1665 "Edward Raple's son sold it to Richard West". She says that Richard West was from ROundhurst and his will dated 1673.

      Greta mentions another book which mentions this Richard West:

      "Bygone Haslemere" by E.W. Swanton & P. Woods, Newman, London 1914.

      This might not be your family, but fingers cross there is a connection. It's something you need to pursue.

      Greta Turner works (or used to work) at Haslemere Museum and is very helpful.

      I'd love to know how your research goes.
