Hi James, Sorry to be so long replying but I have been away. After many hours of research regarding Sarah Chalkley who married Major Arnold, born in Pirton, and trying to finding who her parents were & where she came from.I have undertaken a lot of research that I am happy to share if you allow me to send it to you via your email. The family of William Chalkley who married Mary Harmer (from Aston) are a strong possibility of being the parents of Sarah Chalkley but by no means certain. People have been confused by the fact that there are two William and Mary parents one in Aston and one is St. Pauls Walden. The St. Pauls Walden's couple are William Chalkley and Mary Biggs they had a daughter Sarah Chalkley who married William Dollimore. However the parentage of Sarah Chalkley cannot be absolutely guaranteed but I have looked into all the Chalkleys in the area and nearly all of them stayed within the boundary of Hertfordshire and the counties bordering them. So even though my 5th Gt Grandma Sarah Chalkley cannot have an absolute verification of parentage, I think it can be defined that she belongs to the Chalkley's in the area and as such they do join to the Harmer family which does lead to a 'Gateway' family of the Bulkeley family. The Bulkeley family is well documented and recorded lead to Royalty. Sarah Chalkley married Major Arnold in Shillington (Shitlington then) and I have examined all the Chalkley people to be found in Shillington. The only slight possibility could be that Sarah is the illegitimate daughter of a Mary Chalkley born in Shillington, daughter of a John Chalkley but there are no records to confirm this, so it can only be supposition. Sarah's heritage is difficult and it is only through hours of work that I have found that nearly all the Chalkley's in that area, in history, stayed in Hertfordshire and as Sarah was a Chalkley it is much more than likely she was connected in someway to all the other Chalkleys and as such that route, via the Harmers, is most definitely connected to Royalty. How are you connected James? Sarah & major are my 5th Gt. Grandparents. If you send me your email I will let you see my research. Kind Regards
