William Nixon Chapman

[rachela]

Can tell you that a William Nixon Chapman married a Louisa Theresa Moore in 1863 and also an Eliza Pascoe in 1875. Might be the same groom in each case. There is also a 1901 marriage between Mary Crombie Wilson and a William Nixon Chapman.

Christchurch Archives hold a probate for a William Nixon Chapman dated 1876 but he is not mentioned in the Christchurch City Cemeteries Database.

the William Nixon CHAPMAN who married in 1901 is the son of William Nixon CHAPMAN and Eliza PASCOE.  And yes William Nixon Chapman (Senior) did marry both women.

Hi
Not sure if you are still looking for info on William Nixon CHAPMAN.  I am descended from his sister Ann Matilda Chapman.  William committee suicide in 1876 by throwing himself of the boat he was captaining.

I'm happy to give more information if you are still looking.

My husband is a descendant of William Nixon Chapman and we are interested to find out any information on other siblings and their descendants. Also do you have any information on Robert Chapman and his wife Anne Nixon, William Nixon's parents from Middlesex.
