Find Ancestors

Married between July and September 1902, does anyone know what happened to them after that? Did they have any children? No trace in 1911 census. Only possibility is that they emigrated.

You should check them on the 1911 census to see if had any children by then After 1911 the birth records show the mmn so you can check with their surname combination

this looks like their marriage
Name: William Henry Chapman
Year of Registration: 1902
Quarter of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep
District: St George Hanover Square
County: London, Middlesex
Volume: 1a

spouse Rose Elizabeth Grimmett

Hi my Father in law's mother, Gladys Beatrice Chapman, was born to William Henry and Rose Elizabeth in London on 24 October 1905. As far as I know there was two other siblings Evelyn and Cecil. I am also unable to find other details. William Chapman died on 1 July 1918 in the Chilwell Munitions explosion in Nottingham, but I can find no official record. On Gladys's birth certificate Wiliam is listed as a Licensed Victualler and anecdotal evidence exisits that he used to be associated with the Magpie and Stump in London near the old Bailey. Any further info would be appreciated.

Have you considered this? Completely wrong occupation however!

Have you tried to contact Sandra as this thread is an old one

GB

Just to re-cap - do we think a birth cert is needed here really? To establish who Rose is. It does seem there are 2 similar families doesn't it?
Jan

Oh no! Fell into the trap! Well spotted GB.
