Elizabeth Jane CHAPPLE/CHAPPEL - Redruth, Cornwall

[seraphic]

Hello,
I am trying to locate my GGGrandAunt Elizabeth Jane Chapple/Chappel.  She was born in 1837 in St. Austell to Richard and Elizabeth Chappel (Richards).  In the 1851 census of Redruth she is living with her widowed Mother and siblings, but after that she disappeared off the planet.
Have checked the OPC page and have been able to eliminate some from the list I compiled from freebmd, and have ordered several certificates but with no success.
Seraphic,
Adelaide.

Hi Seraphic
Welcome to rootschat. 

I presume you are looking for Elizabeth on census after 1851. I assume she married, if so do you have the details so we know her married surname and husband's name.

Thanks
Rosie

When did the family make the move to Australia and did they all go together ?

Hi,
After the 1851 census in Redruth, Elizabeth Jane Chapple disappeared.  Have tried to find any marriage on LDS, but no success, as well have tried to match a spouse name from free bmd without much success either.  Her brother Thomas (my GGGGrandfather) arrived in Adelaide, SA in 1856, another brother, James came to Australia (Victoria then Western Australia) in the 1860's , her sister Mary Anne arrived in Victoria in the 1870's. Her other brother, Richard married in Calstock, he went to Scotland, then came back to Cumberland where he died.
Her Mother Elizabeth Chapple and sister Mary Ann were in the 1861 Census still in Redruth, Cornwall.
There are 3 deaths on freebmd in Redruth, 1849 March quarter, 1859 June quarter, 1860 June quarter, all under the name Elizabeth.
Any suggestions where I can search next?

The child seems to have been baptised Eliza Jane Chappel in 1837.

Another child was baptised 1843 as Elizabeth.

Taken from LDS.

Does it make a difference that you have been looking for Elizabeth Jane was she is in fact Eliza Jane ?


Eliza jane wont be the 1849 death as she was on the census in 1851.

She might not be Eliza Jane though, the record is submitted as the 1843 one for Elizabeth is and we know how unreliable they can be.    Still doesn't help finding her though, too many Eliza/Elizabeth Chapple/Chappels in the area.  Back on the search

Hello Fizzy and Rosie,

Thanks for your imput.  I have been looking for either Elizabeth/Elizabeth Jane/Eliza Jane Chappel/Chapple/Chappell.  It is looking very much like that she may have died.  Very frustrating . Her birth certificate shows her has Elizabeth Jane Chapple B01/10/1837.  In the 1841 Census of Devon the Family is living in Ugborough, and her name is recorded as Elizabeth Chapple.  No wonder I am going grey!

Ugborough - I bet that was totally unexpected !!!!!

Hello Fizzy,

Ugborough let alone Devon wasn't even thought of, and it was just pure luck that when I search the Ancestry web page I left the Chappel spelling to the computer.  Richard Chapple (the Father) died shortly after the Census of what would we know as TB.  How the Widow Elizabeth Chappel managed to get back to Redruth Cornwall I can only guess.  .
