Thomas Hatcher & Martha Chambers family

[Stephen123]

Greetings to all,

I am searching for descendants of Thomas Hatcher (career: stoker) born about 1833 in Milford Pennington Hampshire & Martha Chambers born about 1836 Petersfield Hampshire. They were married around 1858 in Southampton, we think Thomas could have passed on sometime around 1864 at age 31yrs. Any help with their dates and place of deaths would be appreciated. Its possible Martha’s father maybe named John Chambers? Any more info about what Stokers working life was like would be appreciated.

sofar we can only find Thomas & Martha as having had one child.

1. Kate Hatcher born 1858 Southampton

I was told Kate could have died in 1865 at age 7yrs but have no proof.

We need help finding out if Thomas & Martha had any other children, did their kids get married and if there were any other children or grandchildren born?

Kind regards,

Stephen

Dear friends, you have all made me so very very happy.  tears of pure joy!!!

Thanks ever so much for your speed and detailed information of your posts.

This is really going to help me fill in so many gaps in my family tree.

I wonder who their son George Hatcher married & if they had any kids too?

Kind regards,

Hi. I’m new to this site but have traced the Chambers family back to the early 1600’s on the Isle of Wight.

My family tree is Harris/Shave family tree which I have made public on Ancestry.com.   We might be related!!
