CHAPPLE Ashcott Somerset
« on: Tuesday 02 August 11 07:14 BST (UK) »
Seeking information on James Chapple who married Mary Sandy C1818 and James Chapple who married Sarah Sandy C.1818. The families lived in Ashcott Somerset.  C. 1899 Walter Chapple lived at a property called "The Lawns" and had a store and the Post office in Ashcott  His nephew, Hugh Chapple I believe had the store up until C. 1930. Harriet Chapple , my great grandmother, and daughter of John and Mary Chapple, married Henry Josiah Harris in London in 1852 and they eventually came to Australia. Harriet's brother Isaac also came to Austraila as did some of James and Sarah Chapples children.  Seeking birth, death and marriage details of family members in Ashcott. Also contact with any family members would be wonderful  Hartay

Little hard to follow your post so i assume 1899 isn't connected to your query.
familysearch.org has marriage of James to Sarah in 1829,was he also married to Mary?
Freereg.org.uk has 3 James' born 1808 to 1818.
Have you looked at census?

If you restrict your post to what you are querying it is easier for helpers.
Where did you get the dates?
Have you used familysearch,census or freereg?

1901 census has a W J Chapple living at The Lawn, Ashcott.
Wife is Anna.
W J is aged 58, so born c 1843. So, maybe a son of James?

Working back, you can find the same couple in Ashcott in 1891 and 1881.

Chapple, Walter John

Sorry my message was unclear, I also made a mistake, it was John Chapple who married Mary Sandy. Have found a lot of information from the replies and still have to follow up on some of them. Many thanks to those who have provided information. Hartay
