Title: Herbert John Chaffer born 3 Sep 1909 Havant, Hampshire
Post by: Philip Dunn on Wednesday 26 October 16 12:22 BST (UK)
Does anyone have any information on the above. I know he married a Hilda Connors(B: 1911) - later divorced and remarried a Elsie Gillingham. Any information about his family would be gratefully received.

I have very recently been informed that my grandad had this name and lived in Havant!  I knew nothing off him until this Sunday 21st Jan 2018!!  If he has a son of Terence John Chaffer born 20/11/1933, then that is my Father (and Grandfather)....

Welcome to rootschat, thejudgejc72

As there is only one Terence Chaffer born in 1933/1934 on free bmd. Terence J Chaffer mmn Connors, registered in the first quarter of 1934 on free bmd in Petersfield, then that looks like the correct family.
