[edit]This is a start of a biogeographt on West. I know little so far so please add if you know more.Osborne 12:31, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
This seems to indicate he has to sons - I think WW only had one son - GSW. I will try to rewrite & sort out.
- Well, the detailed memorial article that I cited very clearly states that WW had two sons, both botanists. Unless you can find an equally authoritative source saying explicitly that GSW was an only child, please do not change the article. Hqb (talk) 17:06, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
OK Agreed - sorry your info was superior to mine obviously. Humble appologies.Osborne 09:53, 18 January 2010 (UTC)
