"51 Census l/up

[Geoff]

Hi,
I'm looking for John CHAPMAN
He would be aged 65yrs and was born in Salehurst
I think that he may have been in Warbleton at this time.

Cheers

Hi Geoff

1851 Census Warbleton - HO 107 1638/ Folio 348/ Page 63 - Chapmans Town, Warbleton.

CHAPMAN John, Head, Marr, 65, Miller/Auctioner, born Salehurst
...............  Mary, Wife, Marr, 70, Millers Wife, born Fletching

Hope that is what you were looking for

PS. There is another family of Chapmans in Chapmans Town - Benjamin, 40, Farmer with Anne 48 and Family

Hi Chris,

They are my Chapman's.

John the father and Benjamin the son.
The only problem remaining is an entry I have in my notes that says John's wife's name was Martha.
I have to find now if it's a transcript error or he married twice.

Thanks for the look up, greatly appreciated.

Cheers
Geoff

hi there Geoff

This might help
 
Licence for 2nd Marriage:
Location: Archdeaconry of Lewes Marriage Licence,  Date: 12 Mar 1825:
Groom: John CHAPMAN, widower
Bride: Martha ALDERTON, spinster St Michaels Lewes
Both of this Parish

2nd Marriage
Location: Lewes St. Michael, East Sussex,  Date: 13 Mar 1825:
Groom: John CHAPMAN, widower
Bride: Martha ALDERTON, spinster
Both of this parish, married by licence

Now all you have to do is find Mary's death sometime before 1825

Hope that helps

Hi Geoff

Hi Chris,

That's great work, thanks very much.

I did have the first marriage to Martha HAVENDEN.
Martha's last child born that I have was Mary 1816.
So her death would be somewhere between 1816 & 1825.

The second marriage I'm reasonably sure is correct.
The only problem is that in the "51 census his wife is named as Mary not Martha and she was born in Fletching,SSX

Thanks again
Geoff

Sussann transcribed as Kember, but looks to be Kimber on Image.

Hi Geoff

The 1841 does not help us much either

HO107/ 1104/ 4/ Sched 6/ Page 39 - Chapmans Town, Warbleton

CHAPMAN John, 55, Miller
...............  Mary, 56
...............  Benjamin, 7

All born in Sussex

Hi Chris,

The inconsistencies in names & age of the wives in John 's family make me now wonder if there was a 3rd Mrs CHAPMAN.

Is it possible that John married again after the marriage to Martha ALDERTON had ended for some reason between 1825 & 1833?

The '41,'51 &'61 census all have his wife as Mary & in the latter two census's she's 5 years older than John.

Would you know of a location where I can purchase the parish records for Warbleton on Cd or Fiche ?

Cheers
Geoff
