1891/1901 census CHAMBERS family- COMPLETED

[m.chamb]

hi- not sure if I can help but..

I'm looking for records of the Chambers family prior to 1743 in and around Greasley.

I have direct line through John A. Chambers (born 1855, Toynton) to Ebeneezer Chambers (born 1817, Little Steeping) to his father and grandfather john (b.1790, Cossall) and Thomas Chambers (b. 1743?? in Greasley)

Any help would be much appreciated,
Kind Regards

Any luck going back further with Thomas Chambers 1743? I cant find a birth in Greasley?

It looks like we share the same great grandparents though.

Thomas' son John Chambers (born in Cossall 1790- needs confirmation) is my family line. I have found a Thomas Chambers in Nuthall (next village over) in 1739, with a line that stretches a good few hundred years back. (Robert Chambers 1550?)

I would appreciate any help,

thanks again.

Hi again! It is difficult for me as I am building this up from the Batcombe end, and I live in Spain, I have found a connection to America, as the Chambers were Puritans and went to america leaving part of the family behind, but I have found the connection with your area, but do not know it well enough. Sometimes a birthcertificate only mentions the area, and not a specific place. So if the certificate says Greasley or example, the actual birth could be in a village or hamlet nearby. Elizabeth.

HI  you wanted to know about Edward Chambers born 1866 first wife was Mary Brown father Joseph Brown and brother is Matthew Brown-- yes I know what the census says----Edward Chambers second wife was Hannah Swincoe maiden name was Lane her father was John Lane- mother was Mary Thorpe-- first husband of Hannah was Leonard Swincoe died in a mining accident-----they had one child Violet Ethel Swincoe--- and yes Edward Chambers put her as his in the census--- she changed her name back to Swincoe when she was in her teen years----
hope this helps you get a good night sleep-- regards and happy searching Brenda


 I am the  great granddaughter of Edward Chambers born 1866 / 1937
so this means Thomas Swincoe is not related to Hannah Lane-Swincoe-Chambers

Baptism Eastwood, St Mary
30 Oct 1892 Violet Ethel dau of Leonard & Hannah Swinscoe abode St Bartholomews father a "sinker maker"
There is also a baptism for Lily, same parents, same church, 25 Nov 1888

I assume you are correct, there would not be too many with the same name as Leonard and Hannah in the same parish--- as Lily can't be found on the census of Edward Chambers I would say she also died before Hannah married Edward---? To confirm. Would need to find her death certificate before dec 1896--- regards and happy searching Brenda

i still feel this Lily Swincoe  was not in the 1901  or 1911 census with her ? sister and mother, if lily is the daughter of Hannah, why did she not be with her? when she married Edward Chambers , lily would only have been 10 years old---
in the 1901 census says 1 child died--- so perhaps this is lily? would need more research---
good luck brenda
