Hi,

My grandfather James Thomas Chapman was born in 1895.

His father Frederick was born in about 1859 and I know he had died before my grandfathers wedding in 1922 (on marriage cert) but can't find any other birth/death info. His first wife Henrietta sells, is the marriage below, and she gave him three daughters Annie 1878, Catherine 1880, and Rosa 1881-1883. Henrietta herself died in 1883. It appears my great grandfather Frederick Married Ellen chapman, late younger, formerly Edmonds. However I have not not one piece of evidence that they had got married, not able to find birth or death info either. I have all the the birth certificates for my grandfather and his siblings and they all say the same, mother Ellen Chapman late Younger formerly Edmonds. Elizabeth was their eldest 1891, George 1894, James 1895 (reg 1896), Daniel 1897, and May 1900. Ellen had 2 children prior to her marriage to my ggrandfather Henry Younger 1886 and Ellen Younger 1890. Year of birth for the children and Ellen from the 1901 Census. Not able to find matching birth certs for children with correct mothers name. Frederick was a bricklayers labourer/stonemason labour and Ellen was a wash woman. I have no other history on Ellen, can't find her anywhere except for the 1891 census as a lodger in the same house as my ggrandfather and in the 1901, where she is living with him as his wife and they have her 2 children and their 5 children living with them.

Thanks for taking the time to search, and replying to me.

Best wishes,

Sandra

Hello,

I'm looking for descendents/relatives of James Thomas Chapman, and his parents Frederick and Ellen Chapman. They also had 4 other children, Elizabeth, George, Dan, May. My great grandma had 2 previous children Henry and Ellen Younger. My great grandfather had three dughters from a previous marriage with Henrietta Sells.

Would love any help or advice.

Thanks,
Sandra
