Hilary / Valerie / Linda Thank you all so much for your help! Not sure if this would be the correct Edmund on 1881, although I will look into this further. I think that maybe Edmund didn't register his children at birth (there were 10 of them on the 1901 census!), and not sure when mandatory registration came into force. Linda: I do believe this would be my g-g grandfather's christening records - thanks for finding this. Could I ask where you found the information? The source may be useful to me in the future. Thanks again all, Happy Christmas Karen |

Hi Karen, It doesn't answer your query but I had an Edward/Edmund mix-up. I was looking to trace someone further back and one record had her father as Edward and one as Edmund - obviously a handwriting thing. I suppose I'm saying maybe you have to look at both possibilities. Merry Christmas and good luck, Valerie. |

Hi! I'm having a bit of trouble locating my Chapmans! I received the marriage certificate of my g-grandfather, Ed(ward?) Chapman (b. 1875c), which confirms his father's name as Edmund Chapman. I can't find a birth certificate for Edward anywhere, so I'm wondering if that was his name at birth. I would be eternally grateful if somebody would look for Edmund Chapman (b. 1845c, Wickham Kent, occupation: Plasterer) on the 1881 or 1891 census to see if Edward is living there with him? In 1896 they were living in South Norwood, in 1901 Croydon. Many thanks in advance, Karen |
