Trying to find Chapman

ProfilePosted byOptionsPost Date

Keith Report 14 Aug 2007 12:44

Trying to find any information about my paternal grandfather, Charles Chapman. He was married but had an affair with my grandmother, Caroline Saunders and they had two children, Fred, born 1918 and Caroline Grace, born about 1922. His occupation was a miller and he may have worked (and been killed in) a brewery in Fulham or Chelsea about 1924. My grandmother lived in Fulham but I do not know for certain if Charles did, although he was probably quite close. Both my father and my aunt, now both deceased, were very embarassed about their ancestory and would never talk about it - hence the vague information.

Hi Keith -
I have only recently looked at the message board site and you have probably have found the answer to your question entered in August 2007!
Regarding your paternal grandfather Charles CHAPMAN
My paternal grandfather had a brother called Charles James CHAPMAN b 1880 (he had a family and was living in Chelsea (Wandsworth area). And funnily enough my paternal grandfather Henry William Chapman b 1882 and I have been told he worked for a brewery in the Fulham area. He was living in Fulham on the 1911 census with his wife and baby son (my father) William Walter b 1909. His second son James was born in 1913) Henry didn't live with his family for very long and I havn't been able to trace his whereabouts or when he died.
Kind regards Cath

Hello Catherine, you can also try putting your grandfather's name into the search box above to see if anyone else on this site has him in their tree. If you find a connection, you can contact the tree owner.

If you would like us to help you with your research, why not start a new thread of your own? Cx.
