Hi
I am researching my boyfriend's family tree and have come across his great, great, great grandfather JOHN CHAPPLOW (1830-?).
John was born in either Bampton or Kirkby Stephen. I know he married SARAH NELSON and had 7 children. He lived in Westmorland but moved to Cumberland in his later years. I have tracked his life through the census records for 1841, 1861, 1871, 1881, 1891 and 1901. I have also found his baptism already but what I am looking for his parents. His baptism notes show that his mother's name was BRIDGET.
Is there any way I can find out who his parents were? Can anyone help?
Regards
Emma

Hi Emma,
Do you have his marriage cert, to see what he says about his father?
I can't see a christening with a mother Bridget (edit: OK, I've seen it, in Kirkby Stephen 1830), but I did find this (extracted record from www.familysearch.org)
John Chappelhow
22 Feb 1829 Bampton, Westmorland
parents Richard Chappelhow and Sarah
His birth place is consistently Bampton ca. 1828 on the censuses as far as I can tell. The Chappelhow family (minus John, who might be the 12 year old boy in service) are at Bampton in 1841, HO107/1162/3 8 10

Thatnks for that information Trish. I have just been looking at the 1841 census records and found the family with those children (except Cecilia Ann). They have a daughter listed as Isabella aged 1. Could this be Cecilia Ann?

They seem very easy to research but to be sure you really need Johns Marriage Cert. Someone on Ancestry has it but it is attached to a Private Tree. You should contact them and see if you can confirm details we have found!

I couldnt help myself and had to try and work out Cilla/Isabella ;D
Look for;
Cilla Ann Chapelhow born 1840, Bampton
RG9/3903/7/9
She is down as the daughter of Thomas Todd but on image is unm and I am sure where it has relationship to head of household it is Serv for servant.
Looks like most of them ended up in Cumberland.
Birth;
Name: Ciceley Ann Chapplehow
Birth: Mar 1840 - West Ward, Westmorland
Only spouse on page is Isaac SIMPSON
1871 she may just be under Ann and still a Servant.
