Ropsley jockey winning the grand national in 1910
« on: Wednesday 19 October 22 15:33 BST (UK) »
Dear all at roots chat I am not sure if you can help me with this one but I am looking to find Robert Chadwick a jockey who won the grand national in 1910 .
He moved into the bungalow in Ropsley so it said in a picture and writing about him.
I just need some help where this bungalow was.
Can you give me some advice on how to find out
Regards naffi girl

As he only died in 1942 have you looked for him on the 1939 register?

Hi there on the writing it says
Did you know we once had a champion jockey in Ropsley . He won the 1910 grand national on Jenkinstown. He later moved to the bungalow Ropsley. His funeral took place on 5 September 1942 at St Peters church, Ropsley
