My grandmother Dorothy Chalkley was the Daughter of Joseph chalkley and Emma Hailey. Emma aparemtly died when my nan was young (teenager) and Joseph remarried! I can't find their marriage. They lived in Hitchin. Josephs father was Joseph Chalkley (1845) and he married Caroline Wiltshire. Caroline was the illigitamte daughter of Charlotte Wiltshire who later married Chales BAiley. I think it was Charlotte that had a shop in st ippollits (i think?). Going back to the chalkleys. Josephs fatehr was William Chalkley and Ann turner ((1812). his father was samuel,, then Samuel again, All living in St ippollots. I have been told there are still Chalkleys there today. It would be great to get any information regarding the Chalkleys or Wiltshires

They've published some books on the history of the village and may be able to help with the shop connection. They're also transcribing the parish records.
