He was born in 1843 in Brentford, the son of a wholesale timber merchant. He is described as a timber merchant in most of the census returns, and one also indicates that he was a JP (as does his entry in the Cotteswold Naturalists' Club's proceedings).

He and the family moved around the country between 1840 - 1890 (Ealing, Hillingdon Heath, Heston, Brighton & Isleworth. He married Olivia Maria Coward in 1870. Archibald was left the Brentford premises when his mother died in the early 1900's. Sim was his mother's maiden name. There is a Montgomrey's Wharf in Brentford.

In 1912, his address (as given in the Proceedings of the Club) was Montpellier Grove, Cheltenham.

He was a member of the Cotteswold Naturalists' Field Club, and there are references to him in the Journal of Botany - see
see http://herbariaunited.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5507 .
He died 12th April, 1922 at Hilperton Rectory, Trowbrdge (where his nephew (?) P C West, was living).

In the 1911 census he is shown as a 67 year old widower, a retired timber merchant, living at the house of his widowed sister Agnes West; 10 Montpellier Grove, Cheltenham.
Ronald Cavey West, age 36 (son of Agnes) was also living there at that time
