Charles Henry Chew

[Garethboxing]

Does anyone have any information about Charlie, who moved from Aberdare in S Wales to London in the late 1920s to earn a living as a professional boxer?
He was born in 1903 and is believed to have died in Hendon in 1968.

A discussion has started on the Glamorgan forum because of duplicated posting

[Garethboxing]

Thank you for the links, but I know about his boxing - I'm hoping to learn about his family.
You refer to a "double posting": Chew's name is among a list I posted on the Glamorgan board, but produced no response, so I posted here as he spent most of his life in Middlesex and I thought it might be seen by someone who would not have visited the Glamorgan forum. I trust that is not offending anybody's sensibilities?

If you had mentioned that you already knew about his boxing side then I wouldn't have wasted my time responding to the boxing side.

The point about the posting on both Glamorgan and London/Middlesex is exactly the same. Without the courtesy of it being mentioned, you'll have both Glam and Lon/Middx running around at the same time forwarding same/similar info, without knowing them knowing about it, or what's gone before.

"We" could have been helping someone else.

Both running around submitting the same info? Chance would be a fine thing.
The Glamorgan post had been there for some time without any response regarding Chew (others yes, not Chew). Clearly I have been wasting your time, for which I apologise. Nobody else seems particularly interested in Charlie on either board.

Hi Gareth


Welcome to the London and Middlesex board

On FreebMD there is a marriage in Hendon for a Charles H Chew in 1928. There seem to be three children born to the marriage with births registered in Hendon. As these children may all very well be living so in accordance with Rootschat policy of not publishing details of living people here, or details of people who may still be living information on them cannot be posted. I can send the details to you by pm if you wish.

I hope this helps


The post on the Glamorganshire board refered to is a request for information on over 20  former boxers from the Merthyr, Aberdare and Pontypridd areas.

If anyone has any further information on any of these boxers please post on the Glamorganshire board.

I hope this helps to gain a bigger response for your book Gareth. Good luck with it.

Hi Valda,

    Thank you for your positive response. 
   
    I also appreciate the explanatory reference to the Glamorgan board item and the link, although Charlie is the only one on that list whom I know to have London and Middlesex connections (many of the others boxed there, of course, but as I explained - rather belatedly, I'm afraid - to Ray, it's not the boxing info I require)

   If you could PM me details of the children it would be a help in trying to track them down, with a view to more information about their father's life outside the ring.   

   Thanks again,
      Gareth

I have already forgiven you.  :-)

I am frustrated that I had to drop "Chew" to go and do other non-geneaogy things at the time.

Chew is still on the list coz I married a dau of an Aberdarian who moved to Hendon/Wembley/Harrow so you never know what other lines open up. (But don't hold your breath)
