Find Ancestors

Hi,

I found the following memorial transcription today and I wanted to ask if someone could look this family up in the census please? Henry CHAPMAN is a cousin of an ancestor of mine:

'Sacred to the memory of Jane daughter of Henry and Hannah CHAPMAN who died May 7 1850 aged 3 years also above Henry CHAPMAN who died Apr 16 1879 aged 62 years also above Hannah CHAPMAN who died Nov 2 1880 aged 64 years also Henry Chapman SIGSWORTH their grandson who died Sept 2 1884 aged 2 months'.

I am trying to find out more about his children, places of birth of his family and possibly what became of them. This is difficult as the parents died before 1881.

Thanks,

Peter

Where?
Thanks

Oh new replies where made while I was typing. Thanks again for this. Very interesting to see it all!

It seems that Henry Chapman, born 1817 in Danby, Yorkshire was the illegitimate son of Ruth Chapman. These seem to be her children:

Can someone please spot Betsey and William?

Thank you again for this help.

William from Danby/Cleveland is not obvious in the censuses.

Have you found a marriage for Betsey?

Robert looks to be already married to an Elizabeth in 1841, so the above to be treated with suspicion.

Ah interesting Patchem! Thank you for this help.

The 1841 is definitley the family ... not sure about 1851 in Bradford, although a Betsey Chapman did MARRY in Bradford in 1838 ... not sure about this.

RE Jane Chapman in 1851. I was intrigued by her grandson so looked him up and found him baptised in Danby, the son of Thomas Pierson and Betsey Scarth (Note Betsey Chapman was baptised with the middle name 'SEARTH' which is probably a transcription error):

1. GEORGE PEIRSON - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Male Christening: 25 MAR 1842 Danby In Cleveland, Yorkshire, England

2. MARY PEIRSON - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Female Christening: 08 FEB 1851 Danby In Cleveland, Yorkshire, England

3. THOMAS PEIRSON - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Male Christening: 12 JUN 1815 Danby In Cleveland, Yorkshire, England

4. ALLEN PEIRSON - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Male Christening: 08 SEP 1844 Danby In Cleveland, Yorkshire, England

Thomas Pierson and Betsey SCARTH seem to have had two boys, before Thomas seems to have remarried by 1851. This seem probable? It certainly seems unusual.

Also, could you have a look for George Peirson(Pearson) born 1842 in the 1861?!

Thanks
