Devon / Re: Elizabeth Bolt of Collumpton
« on: Sunday 17 April 16 01:04 BST (UK)  »
you're right - it does look like Bolt rather than Bult.  I've re-titled the post as Elizabeth Bolt of Collumpton.  Thanks for pointing that our - that might be why I've been unable to make any progress :-(

Devon / Elizabeth Bult of Collumpton
« on: Saturday 16 April 16 23:13 BST (UK)  »
I'm trying to find out more about Elizabeth Chapman shown in the 1851 census as being from Collumpton, Devon.  I am presuming her maiden name was Bult because another Elizabeth shown in the same census as mother of Elizabeth.  Both women were born in Collumpton.  I have no information on her father or mother (other than her name was Elizabeth and she was born in about 1775).  Thanks in advance for anyone's help.

Hi Ray:  Thanks for the help.  Someone else had written to say she has the information I’m looking for.  Violet Kindell married Gilbert Lystor in 1958 and died in Hove Sussex in 1960.  Isn’t it wonderful how we all work together on this?  Thanks.  Peter

London and Middlesex / Re: Oswald William Kingsley
« on: Friday 27 November 15 20:04 GMT (UK)  »
Hello all:  I'm trying to trace Oswald William Kingsley's first wife.  It would appear that he married Violet Blake or Johns in 1923.  Given the two names she used when she married Albert leads me to believe she was the Violet Blake who married to Arthur Baynard Johns in 1917.  He emigrated to Canada in 1923 without a wife and I have found Violet and Arthur divorced in 1923 which would leave her free to marry Albert Kindell in 1923.  I have also found a notice that a Mrs Bensley (could this be a typo for Kingsley???) left her effects to Oswald Kinglsey her son and her daughter Ida Muriel Harper.  I think the Mrs Bensley was Oswald Kinglsey's mother.  Does anyone know anything about Violet?  The marriage between Arthur and Violet indicates her father James Blake was an engineer but the only professions given in the 1911 census as grocer.  Thanks for your help.  Peter

Humphrey and Winifred were living at one time on the Berea in Durban in the 1970's - 1980's.  I would look in deaths in Durban for information. (Humphrey and Winifred were friends of my parents)

Gloucestershire / Re: Chapman Family Prestbury

Thanks for your reply.  It would seem to me that the "dealer in horses" is "my" Robert Chapman.  I uploaded all the information I have on him.  Something that might help is his father was Benjamin Chapman who was married to Elizabeth Bult.  His father is shown as a stable keeper when his children were baptized in the mid-1820s so it looks as if he interacted with horses from a young age. 
I'm sorry that I can't provide any further information on Robert other than what I have already sent.  The librarians in the Cheltenham library were very helpful when I visited Cheltenham about 8 years ago, perhaps they might be able to help you.

Hi: 
Robert Chapman was born in 1826 died in 1893.  He married Mary Claudine Hogg who was born 1832 and died 1897.  He is shown in two censuses as being a dealer in horses which would imply this is the family you are interested in.
Robert and Mary had several children including my great grandmother Mary Claudine Chapman.  They lived in a house on Prestbury Road called Oaklands which was still being used about six years ago but by then had been divided into two family homes.  I suspect it is still being used as it was in excellent condition. 
I have attached the information I have on him and his family with the sources.  Please let me know if you need anything else and I'll see what else I can dig up. 
Thanks, 
Peter

Roxburghshire / Re: Fraser Crailinghall

Many thanks to Toria33 and M Carter - all this indormation helps put leaves on the family tree.  I have some of this information but it is always good to get corroborating information so thanks to both of you.
Toria33, would you mind sharing the information you have on John Richard's relationship with his wife if I give you my private e-mail address?  I have done a fair amount of reserach on the Indian connection and have notes from various websites from India and have done quite a bit of looking at microfiches from the LDS church in Salt Lake City - but as I said above it wonderful to have the corroborating information.

Once again, to both of you.

Buckinghamshire / Is anyone researching the Veal family?
« on: Thursday 28 January 10 19:59 GMT (UK)  »
My grandfather, John Alexander Fraser, is shown in the 1881 living in Surrey with John and Margaret Morgan.  Both John and Margaret were born in Buckinghamshire before 1837, John in Winslow and Margaret in Wingrave.  My grandfather’s birth place is India.  In the 1891 census, he is still living with the Morgans but is now recorded as a grandnephew.  I found his mother, Margaret Dorothea Nisbitt, and father, John Richard Fraser, in India and his maternal grandparents, John William Nisbitt and Elizabeth Veal.  I am wondering if I can conclude that Margaret and Elizabeth were sisters (hence the description grandnephew) and if so who were their siblings and parents?  I have found a marriage between John Morgan and Margaret Veal in 1860 in Potterspury and they appear in the 1861, 1871, 1881, 1891 and 1901 censuses.  I cannot find Elizabeth and Margaret Veal in the 1841 and 1851 censuses so wonder if the family was in India then (if so, why did Margaret return to England?).  Is anyone else researching the VEAL family who could help out?
Thanks.
