Lincolnshire / Re: Chaplins of Tathwell Hall
« on: Saturday 24 June 23 09:09 BST (UK) »the will i wanted to have an idea about was for young john johannis Chaplin d 1730
its quite short but in latin really hard to decipher any names ..if he left everything to his wife
+didnt mention his sisters at all
This is the original Will, even shorter than the Latin "Sentence" which you found - https://www.rootschat.com/links/01sen/. There were obviously issues with the Will, hence the later Latin Sentence.

The pedigree is accessible here - https://archive.org/details/suffolkmanorialf31john/page/112/mode/2up - pages 102-120. Just found it as I have a photocopy of the relevant pages.

According to Suffolk Manorial Families Thomas Chaplin of Blankney who died in 1748 was the son of John Chaplin of Tathwell and his second wife Frances Archer (the widow of Francis Rous of Rous Lench). Frances apparently left a PCC Will proven in 1719. Suffolk Manorial Families says to check Burkes Peerage for Thomas' descendants.
John Chaplin of Tathwell born 1657 was the son of Sir Francis Chaplin knight, citizen and clothmaker of the City of London and his wife Anne Hutt. Francis left a Will proven 1680 and Anne's was proven in 1692.
Francis Chaplin was the son of Robert Chaplin of Bury St Edmunds, woollen draper, whose Archdeaconry of Sudbury Will was proven Feb 1643/4. His wife was Elizabeth Asty and they married 1627 at Bury St Mary.
Robert was baptised at Semer, Suffolk, in 1602, his mother it appears died in or just after childbirth. Robert's parents being William Chaplin of Semer and his first wife Agnes Holborough who married at Bulmer, Essex, in 1581. William died in 1629 and left a PCC Will, in which he mentons three siblings Thomas Chaplin, Joan Ballard and Clement Chaplin. My interest in that Chaplin family is with Clement Chaplin of Action, Suffolk, Wiliam's brother.
As I said I've not confirmed all of this information, only for now to William Chaplin and his wives Agnes and Anne. The pedigree suggests he left a Will when he died in 1629 but I've no record of that one.
Hope this helps. Obviously needs some checking.
The Chaplins in Suffolk can be very confusing with similarly named children and in neighbouring parishes. I have seen a few inaccurate family trees about because people haven't checked Wills and parish register entries accurately. 
I await the parish registers finally appearing on Ancestry in probably a couple of years.

Chaplin of Tathwell and Blankney caught my attention as they are allegedly descendents of the Chaplin family of Action and Semer in Suffolk which goes back to mid 1500s in that area. I say allegedly as I've not had the chance to confirm all the research that far forward.
There is a 3 volume set of books called Suffolk Manorial Families by Joseph James Muskett which includes pedigrees (with Will extracts) of a number of the various Chaplin families in Suffolk. It is a very common name in the west of the county and not all can be connected together.

Suffolk / Re: Suffolk parish registers to go online?
« on: Saturday 01 April 23 18:04 BST (UK) »I am wondering how this news sits with the huge Church Of England project to "scan and transcribe all the parish registers"?
"It will mean parish registers are backed up safely and securely and protect the originals from loss and deterioration"
https://agintl.org/more-information
I understand that My Heritage are funding and conducting that digitisation.
Interesting hadn't come across that particular project. It was purely by chance I picked up the Suffolk contract award, I was actually trying to confirm if Tyne & Wear Archives' agreement with Ancestry would include the parish registers following the recent release of non-conformist records from the Archives on the site. However, was pleased to finally see Suffolk get their act together since it's got to be almost 9 years since they originally muted the idea of doing it themselves.

Not that anyone seems to be interested in my previous post .... may as well have not bothered taking the time to write it.
However, if anyone is thinking of upgrading to v7 but uses the narrative reports and exports to pdf, please be aware that there are issues with the export of them to pdf files which you may want to take a look at on the FHUG Forum prior to purchasing. Hopefully Calico Pie will resolve the issue sooner than later.
Overall I think it is worth the upgrade, or definitely will be if CP fix the pdf issue but I use narrative reports extensively so it is a bit of a nuisance.
