All Chaplin's in Berkshire let get our heads together,there must be a lot of Chaplin's in your Family Tree's. Don't be embarrested or confused ??? lets get our heads together and sort the family tree's out.
According to a map reference Berkshire was the ancestral Home in 1800 and until the family's grew away moved to other parts of the country. Edward Chaplin b1830, Sister Sarah Chaplin b 1828, who where their parents?
They say more heads get together, we could crack this!
Come on lets get moving on this, as we are stuck are you?

Have you looked at and registered your interest in the surname interests table. There is at least one berks Chaplin in there. The link is at the foot of the page.

Hello
Thank you for sending me that information, I had not looked there as yet.
But there is so much we all try to do, some times I have closed down and realised that I had not looked up some thing most annoying.
Thank you again

Hi Hopscotch,
Just had an e-mail fron Jane, i'm her sister - in- law, haven'd had a chance to follow up on this side of the tree in quite a while as I am also doing my fathers tree, my mothers tree, my friends tree and my mothers cousins tree.... it get confussing! Anyway, all I have is Sarah's name, although I am now awaiting a copy of her marriage certificate to Henry Howard, I do not as yet have her parents details, do you have these by any chance?
Regards,
Carol

Hi Elrowe
I had a feeling you was related to Jane but to late to say anything after I had answered your reply. I don't have the marriage certificate, perhaps Jane has! but I only know by what Jane has informed me of the family tree. We will have to let everyone know what we have been up too. Jane will give you my email address if you want to get in touch.
How long have you been research your family's tree's? I could not do all them in one go. It is bad enough with all the Sarah's, William's, Edward's, Henry's. in the Chaplin Family.
Happy searching

Hi Hopscotch,
I started small in the 70's not really knowing anything about anything, but got a few details from my great grandmother, but back then things seemed a little daunting as I was only a teenager so I filed things away and although I kept tit bits from older family before they died off, I didn't really get started till a couuple of years ago. Then when I got well into it, I got Jane interested and have shared all my stuff with her as I got it. However as I discovered other family members also doing the same research, I seem to get side tracked a lot and do different branches for a while, now I'm back onto this line. Do you know who Sarah/Edwards parents were? Do you have information any further back than them?
Regards for now, Carol

Hi Elrowe
With Sarah Chaplin b 1828 Sister to my GtGt Grandfather Edward Chaplin b 1829, their parents were Henry Chaplin b 1806 Easthampsted, Berkshire, Sarah (?) Chaplin b 1806 Easthampstead, Berkshire. Jane and I have noticed in the Census pages they were living either next door or two or three doors away from one another.
We will have to keep in touch with one another as we will be answering each others messages.
Will be in touch

Hi all you Chaplins,
Just a point of information re-All Chaplins in Berkshire.
The IGI lists 167 Chaplins in Berkshire from the 1540's in Wantage to the 1850's in Reading.
Happy hunting.
Best wishes

Hi Clare
I had read the previous message regarding a John Chaplin who relocated to wales in 1871 from Easthampstead, Berkshire and thought this might be of some help. William Chaplin (John's Father)was born in Easthampstead in 1801 and married a Sarah Parker (Born 1803) also from Easthampstead, Berkshire. I have been unable to track the date of the marriage so far but i do know that they had in total seven children.
Elizabeth Chaplin B1823
John Chaplin B1826
James Chaplin B1831
Henry Chaplin B1834
Mary Chaplin B1837
Thomas Chaplin B1839
Joseph Chaplin B1848
The children were all born in Easthampstead Berkshire. I am related throught Henry Chaplin but i do know that John Chaplin B1827 did move from Easthampstead to wales in 1871 and in the process moved his children with him. His wife Elizabeth Gatland died in 1869 and left him with 5 children to look after, one being your George Chaplin 1851. George Chaplin did indeed marry Sarah form clutton somerset. Just to confuse you even more, William Chaplin 1801 father was Edward Chaplin 1770 and his mother was Esther/ Hester Cock B1764 and their marrage date was the 17 Jan 1796 Easthampstead.
Good luck!

Hi Samantha
I am related to the Chaplins through my mother's mother's mother! I have a question relating to your reply above.
You write that: "William Chaplin 1801 father was Edward Chaplin 1770 and his mother was Esther/ Hester Cock B1764 ". I have the following dates for Edward Chaplin (1763) and Esther/Hester Cock (1771). My information comes from Dale Headington and I'm not sure where he found it! I was wondering where your info comes from and if it's more reliable than his!

Hi Gary,
thanks for your message regarding the parents of William Chaplin 1801. I am sorry to say that i am not completely sure as to where i had found the information from as it was a long time ago. If memory serves me right i do think it was another family tree. I knew that if i included the information someone would tell me if it was wrong. Your dates are more then likely right for Hester cock and Edward Chaplin so don't change them!! if you don't mind me keeping your dates that would be a great help for my research. All the other information in my last post was found on Ancestry and should be right!
So who was your mothers, mothers, mother?
Many thanks

No worries. I wouldn't have a clue how I found a few of my older entries on our tree! Of course you can keep the dates. If you're on Genes Reunited, I can give you access to my tree, if you like. I'm also on Ancestry.co.uk but the tree's not as up-to-date.
I forgot to mention previously but I have a marriage date for William & Sarah of 1822, again from Dale Headington.
I left a mother off! In fact my mother's mother's mother's mother was Mary Chaplin 1836-1911, daughter of William (1801) and who married John Vass.

Hi to both Samantha and Gary.
Edward Chaplin was christened 8 March 1767 and was from Finchampstead, not too far from Easthampstead, Esther/Hester Cock was christened I believe in 1771, I don't have my records to hand at the mo. These details came from the IGI and census records. I have noted (as there were so many Chaplins, often with the same name )that this is the ONLY Edward Chaplin listed in Berkshire for this era with that name and his son Henry was also the only one for the area. Edward was the g,g,g,g,grandfather of my husband. Hope this helps and confirms your information,
Regards, Carol

Thank you Gary and Carol for all you help and information you have given me. It has been really usefull! I have been concentrating on my relatives who fought in WW1 and it is all very interesting but time consuming!! By the way Gary i have found a tree on ancestry which might be of some help to you. You may have already seen it but it is about Mary Chaplin's husband's John vass line and a Goddard connection. The tree is under the name of Josephine Emmett.
Also is there a link to the Goddard line with the Jewish religion? it is just some of the names that appear on it are Jewish.
Would anyone be able to help me with another query i Have regarding William Chaplin's (1801) son Thomas Chaplin (1839) . Can anybody tell me why he was listed as a Chelsea pensioner in the 1861 census at the age of 22 years? All i know is that he was a out pensioner but the royal hospital of Chelsea wouldn't tell me anymore. Any help would be brilliant!!!
Many thanks

Hello to all Chaplin researchers on this list, which I just discovered today thanks to someone online alerting me to it.
It's only recently that I've found that I have Chaplin ancestors, and very recently that I've learned of the connection beyond Wales to Berkshire. So you can imagine I'm very excited to find lots of useful information here to add pieces to my puzzle.
I haven't yet verified much of my own info in terms of BDM checks etc. - still trying to get an outline of my pedigree to start some serious research when time permits. But here's the line I'm interested in (so you can have fun and work out how we're related to each other...)
My great grandmother: Mary Chaplin b 1860 to
John Chaplin (1826-1882) and Elizabeth Gatland (1825-1869), John son of
William Chaplin (1801-1888) and Sarah Parker (1803-1882), William son of
Edward Chaplin (1767 - ????) and Esther/Hester Cock (1771 - ????).
Looking forward to sharing in future discoveries - not only dates and names but pictures, stories etc. would be fantastic!

Thought this might be helpful to some of you John Chaplin 1826 moved to wales in 1863 and was a gamekeeper for Sir John Walsh of Berks on his estate called Busmore in Radnor

Thanks for that, Clare. A good lead.

Just wondering if anyone has actually seen the marriage record for Edward Chaplin and Esther/Hester Cock so we can try to solve the riddle of names and dates of birth. Several on this board have indicated that the date of marriage was 17 Jan 1796 in Easthampstead, so I'm hoping someone can check the record and inform us!
Edward's year of birth has been given in various posts as 1770 and Esther's from 1764 to 1771. But I have found on Family Search a christening of an Edward Chaplin in Finchampstead on 8 Mar 1767, and also a birth of an Esther Cox in Easthampstead in 1776. (The other Cock possibilities seem to have been in Wokingham or elsewhere, I think.) I'd like to know whether I can rule these in or out and whether I'm missing anything obvious (which is quite possible...)
Thanks, and I hope everyone's research is going well.

Hi all,
Just wondering whether anyone with an interest in John Chaplin b 1826 to William Chaplin and Sarah Parker has traced Sarah's ancestry.
I have John Parker m Mary Simmons/Simmonds on 17 Feb 1789 in Easthampstead but that's the extent of that branch so far.

Hi Giuliana,
Here is the website I used to find the certificate information between Edward Chaplin and Hester Cock. Sorry it has taken so long, but it has been years since I last logged on. There are other family members on there too so have a browse.
https://familysearch.org/search/record/results#count=20&query=%2Bgivenname%3Aedward~%20%2Bsurname%3Achaplin~%20%2Brecord_country%3AEngland%20%2Brecord_subcountry%3A%22England%2CBerkshire%22
If it didnt work then go on to the familysearch website and just type in Edward Chaplin, England, Berkshire and it should bring it up.
Good luck with your search,
Samantha

Thank you. I will check it out. I appreciate the link. G
