Margaret, if it is of any help all the information above is on familysearch. My gt gt grandmother was baptised there so I was able to look for your information at the same time as my own. -j

Hi Janet, Thank you for your help. I am fairly sure Iyou have found the right William , now I must try to find Mary's surname. I will study the other names you have given me. Thanks again Margaret

This is strange. By looking for William Chapman in Yorkshire this has turned up but wasn't there when I searched by batch-jl

for reference as you mentioned that William might be the son of William and Mary

I have had a look at all the Hawnby baptisms between 1790 - 1810 and I cannot find anything for William Chapman. However if you are wanting to go back a generation I can give you his possible siblings. By going 'sideways' it might be possible to work out who his ancestors might be.
He may have been baptised elsewhere though.-jl

Anne Bradley baptised at Hawnby 9 March 1792 parents John Bradley and Anne Chapman
Mary Fletcher 10 Feb 1801 baptised 13 Feb 1801 parents William Fletcher and Mary Chapman

Found another Jane Chapman daughter of William Chapman and Dinah baptised 23 Aug 1810
Hannah Chapman daughter of George Chapman and Honour Pennington baptised Hawnby 27 May 1792

Ann Chapman daughter of Richard Chapman and Betsey 14 June 1810
Martha Chapman daughter of John Chapman and Monica 14 Mar 1801
Hannah Smith daughter of John Smith and Hannah Chapman 6 Mar 1791

I don't think so, they are a distant away, and I have heard the name calvert in the Family. Will look though. Thanks Margaret

Not sure if Hawes is near Hawnby?

EDIT: Perhaps not, I think Hawes and Hawnby are about 50 miles apart from Google.

I believe Charles spent some time with his step Grandparents, and he eventually moved away first to Newcastle where he became a journalist. thenmoved to Barnard Castle Yorkshire, where he married.
Thank You Margaret

There doesn't seem to be a Charles with them?

Terribly sorry Marie celeste, I have put down wrong dates Robert married Elizabeth 1842, Elizabeth Ann born 1843 Charles 1844

Marie Celeste, Robert married about 1824 to Elizabeth Cornforth, they had two children Elizabeth Ann born 1824, and Charles (my Husbands Gt Grandfather).1844. Elizabeth died, and Robert married a Jane Haw, not sure when, but fairly quickly their first child Violetta born 1846.
Does this help at all. Margaret

Margaret, who did Robert marry? Where and when?

(It's handy to use as a reference point for us to work back from).

Hi, I know Robert was my husbands 2xGt Grandfather,he was a shoe maker. I was trying to get further back to find his parents and Grandparents, difficult isn't it, I wanted to know Ann's (Williams wife) surname. Also I think William's father was another William,possibly married to a Mary. Thanks Margaret

You're welcome Margaret.

What else do you know about Robert? Can then see if there are any other records to verify. Is he the line you are following?

Marie Celeste, I think the Robert and Ann one is correct after all, no I don't have the 1851 census. Thanks again Margaret

Margaret - they're both posted above.

Bear in mind that ages in the 1841 were usually rounded down so Robert could actually have been 20 to 25.

Do you have them for definite in the 1851?

Dear Marie Celeste, On looking again dates dont quite match on Robert, could you telll me who else you found please. Margaret

Children Robert, Barbara and William seem to be scattered across both families.
