I still have a query about the John Chadwick born 1803. I was hoping spendlove or mort29 could help me. Is it all right to carry on in this thread?
I found John Chadwick in 1851 in Manchester aged 47 a Pensioner born Belper, wife Elizabeth 51 b Clifton Derbyshire with John Taylor grandson and Samuel Birch nephew HO107 2226 227 27
1861 Gorton John Chadwick 58 mechanic b Milford Elizabeth 61 Clifton Somerset Amelia ?Birch nurse child 4m b Longsight
1871 John Chadwick in Belper married inmate Chelsea Pensioner

1881 Elizabeth Chadwick widow 81 born Clifton, Derbyshire.
John Chadwick appears in the website belper-reasearch as a Chelsea Pensioner. John Chadwick 54th foot regiment age at discharge 41 1828-44.
There is a marriage of a John Chadwick to Elizabeth Birch at Duffield in 1826, but is it this couple? The grandchild John Taylor, according to a tree on Ancestry is the son of Henry Taylor and Selina Birch, so is Selina the daughter of Elizabeth Chadwick, illegitimate or by a former marriage? The Samuel Birch, nephew appears to be the son of Joseph and Phillis (Philadelphia) Birch in Belper in 1841. They died and their other children died. So Joseph should be Elizabeth Chadwick's brother, but in 1841 he says not born in county whereas she always says Clifton. I think John Chadwick was bap 3 jun 1803 son of William and Ellen, but I'd like to know more about Elizabeth. Many thanks, claytonbradley 

The lady who runs the belper-research site has started a new forum. It might be worth your posting on there? claytonbradley

Have you looked at some of the trees on a-----y? There are several for Chadwicks in the area, but I had a quick look and couldn't find anything new. I just had a look at John, son of Matthew, in Leeds with a draper in 1851 and it looks as though he became a Methodist New Connexion minister, 1891 Chesterfield b Belper, 1881 Boston b Belper, 1871 London, Finsbury widower b Milford children Mary Hannah 14 Matthew 11 John 6 Chas Herbert 2, all born Ireland.
 William and Hannah Ball were born in Youlgrave, Derbyshire, moved with their family to Belper where Hannah married John Chadwick and died in 1840, as you know. William, son of William, married a Mary Chadwick at Crich 13 sep 1835, probably, though I can't prove it, his first cousin Mary, daughter of Hannah. In 1841 William, Mary and children John and Jane were in Heaton Norris, Stockport. So was James Chadwick, shoemaker with some of his children. I assumed he died when I lost him on the censuses, but he emigrated to Queensland, which was very brave at his age. bye for now, claytonbradley

Richard Broadley 1851-1907 m Ann Day in 1875 and his son Richard, 1876-? m Ellen Wade in 1896. The second Richard was a mayor of Burnley. I'm struggling with the Cunliffe though, clayton bradley
