Find Ancestors

I am looking for information of my late Fathers family. Chapman. They lived in Vauxhall/Duddeston. Aston, Birmingham.

My fathers name was Arthur James Chapman. He has a sister and two or three brothers.

What time frame Susan

Ann

My father was born in the 30s.... so anything really.

I seem to have lost my families on both sides now.

Dad passed away over 15 years ago.

Are you looking for living relatives?

Ann

No Ann.......

Just those who i never knew but have passed on.

My grandparents on my fathers side i never knew. They died within minutes of each other.

Regards

do you have your fathers date of birth?
Ann

It was i think 3rd or 4th April 1932....

Did he marry your mother Susan? Their marriage cert would give his age and his father's name which would be clues.
Jan

Yes he did. My Mother was a Chaplin.

I have no access to any documents.

I fear a fruitless search.......

Hi Susan,

Have just found same as Tania, you are just a bit out with the birth year.

Ann

Fruitless my eye! You underestimate the sheer stubborness of the Genes community. If there is info to be found, it will be, believe me. I know because of all the help I've received.
Jan

Possible parents...but you should get the birth certificate to confirm:
