As Tati says the best bet so far is Ada Clarke.I know they had 7 children.Eva the oldest one was my grandma.

I found John Chapman on Ancestry and it gave his wifes name as Ada born in Ashburn Derbyshire I worked out her birth year from the age given in the census.Spent about 4 hours trawling thru births in that year and came up with 2 Adas born in Ashbourne none at all in Ashburn.Then I set about eliminating one of them. Ada Saint seemed to be a better option as the Chapmans were farmers and she came from a farming family. the problem was I couldn't get them together at the right dates Not very scientific I know but it has worked before.I think you are right about Eva's birth cert I have found the refs and I will send for it.The Clarkes sound like a good bet for a bit more digging don't you think?
All the best

The idea of a preacher in the family is some what intriguing.(spellcheck says this is right but i am not sure)
