The other George Westcombe on the memorial was one of the many progeny of George Westcombe and Sarah Westcombe nee Bradfield. Incidentally for the younger George I think it should read “Jun” as in Junior and not “June”. George junior's  first wife Harriet Maria is shown on the plaque. After her death he married Bessie Dixon. 

 

I am attaching a copy of a portrait which we own of George senior, resting his arm on a Bible. Also attached is a copy of his death certificate.

 

After George senior’s death the Brewery was run by Sarah and her son James Edward Westcombe, Connie’s Great Grandfather. Following Sarah's death James Edward continued with the Brewery with his son Percy John (Connie's grandfather) assisting. By 1911 James Edward was running a Tobacconist Shop in Kingsclere and Percy John was working as a Cellar Beer Inspector. He then went on to run his own Off Licence in Wimbledon.
