	I spotted this thread just now and, when I checked back, realised I had first sent this gentleman a message on how to find his replies in October last year. The reply I received was : I know that just havent been online much lately Trevor, if you would like the volunteers to help you, then it's much more beneficial to you if you could : a) stay around after posting a message so that you can have some dialogue with the helpers. If you keep disappearing, people lose interest and concentrate on other threads. b) remember to be polite and grateful for any help given.

	There is this baptism for a William Henry CHAPPLE London, England, Births and Baptisms, 1813-1906 Name: William Henry Chapple Record Type: Baptism Date: 24 Sep 1856 Father's Name: James Chapple Mother's Name: Eliza Chapple Parish: St Alfege Borough: Greenwich County: Middlesex Born:- 27 Aug 1856 Address:- Coombe farm Father occupation:- Labourer but if you get his death certificate ..... I believe Australian and NZ certiicates contain a lot more information than Englihs and Welsh ones ....... and would even tell you the names of his parents. OR his marriage certificate would have his father's name as it is we are floundering around in the dark I suggest you get either his marriage certificate or his death certificate before making any more speculative trips into looking for a black cat in a coal cellar!! sylvia

	Trevor I would point out to you that the spelling that Joan has posted is the spelling as found on a document on line as you will find, most of our ancestors were illiterate, and spelling mistakes are rife added to which enumerators, registrars and, yes, today's transcribers can all make mistakes. The way you responded was unnecessary and rude. sylvia
