What were the names of their children in order of birth and do you know the names of George's parents Some Scottish families used a traditional naming pattern in naming their children it could offer clues
Hi,
I was told George's parents were Thomas & Ann Chappell, also of Caunton. It gets tricky here is Caunton had 4 Chappell families, of which no relation has been found yet, if they are related it was before 1745. I know there was another Thomas and Ann Chappell that arent mine, same time period.
The local family history book in Caunton for my family states that George was born in 1800/1 and that Grace was born in 1791. However the death record states she was born in 1786.
George and Grace had 5 sons and 1 daughter all born in Caunton. Though some census records
say John was born in Scotland. I have found has baptism record, that event took place in Caunton.
John 1818
George 1820
Malcolm 1825
William 1830 - my gg grandfather
Timothy 1834
Emma 1835
Charles 1838
