Thank you Maddie Sarah Brooker did have a brother Benjamin living in London, so looks as though she married John West not Michael Hartfield. Most helpful. Cheryl

Thank you for your input with my querie maddie. I will check this out a bit more. I am still leaning towards Sarah Brooker Married to John West as Both her brothers Benjamin & Henry were in Spitafields as some point. Thanks Cheryl
