Question

Does anybody know anything about "Earl Delaware"? I have a profile for a near relative.  It says that, "His niece was lately married to Sir James CLARK's (the Queen's Physician) wife's brother." I don't know how to connect any of this info. Anybody who knows more about the monarchy might be able to figure this out. 
Profile: William West - WikiTree Profile

All that I know is this:
1. The Queen of England in 1853: Queen Victoria.
2. In 1853, she had Leopold. During her labour, she was given chloroform by her physician John Snow. 
3. John Snow apparently never married, according to Wikipedia. 
So, perhaps it's a previous Queen's doctor? unless Wikipedia is wrong. Doubtful when it's an important historical figure. 

 

Answer 1

The title is Earl De La Warr, and their family name was West, later changed to Sackville-West.  Cracrofts Peerage have a genealogy, though only of the Earls and immediate family, I can't see your William West anywhere.

George John West, later Sackville-West, 5th Earl De La Warr would have been the Earl in 1853.  There is a WikiTree profile for him, but it doesn't have a biography.  He does have a Wikipedia article.

Sir James Clark was Queen Victoria's physician (John Snow was only asked to give Queen Victoria chloroform during the delivery of her two youngest children)  His wife was Barbara Stephen, so presumably the niece of your William West, married a Mr Stephen, Barbara's brother.

It doesn't look like Sir James Clark or his wife, currently have profiles on WikiTree.

Thank you. I was so mixed up, and I still can't figure it all out, but I thought that the information may help to fill in a gap in somebody's research for their lineage. I appreciate your help, and any other help that you can provide in getting them linked up the right way. I can't quite figure it all out.

Answer 2

"Goodrich, Canada" is almost certainly Goderich, Ontario (it's the seat of Huron County, and the newspaper death notice says he died at the county jail).

Goodrich, Maine is very close to the border with Canada, so I was assuming that there was a guard house/jail of sorts at the time in that location, because it was posted in a newspaper in New Brunswick, Canada, which is right along the border, but yes, I suspect that it was the one in Ontario, too, just because of it saying "Canada", rather than "Nova Scotia", or something more relevant to the area.

I just wasn't confident in that, so I thought that the good people of Wikitree may have some insights. Thank you for taking the time to answer. I appreciate the help.
