Hampshire & IOW Lookup Requests / Re: Charles Chalk Goes Missing
« on: Thursday 26 March 15 08:54 GMT (UK)  »
Hello Rosie and Chempat, thank you both for your replies, apologies if my initial post was incomplete.
The information I have that I think is correct is:-
Father - John Chalk
b. 1827 - Droxford
1841 Census - Upham
1851 Census - Bishops Waltham - Lodger (Possibly - it seems there may to be two Charles Chalks in the area at that time)
m. 1855 - West Wittering
1881 = 33 Oyster St, Portsea
1891 - 17 Alfred St Portsmouth
1901 - 17 Alfred St Portsmouth
d. 1905
I agree it's possible he could have just been away in 1871 but I'm puzzled why there were no children from 1866 - 1877... The 10 year gap.
So my holes are the 1861 & 1871 Censuses and if he was at their majesty's leisure or service as he doesn't seem to be much of a family man.
Thank you again for your kind assistance.

Hampshire & IOW Lookup Requests / Charles Chalk Goes Missing
« on: Thursday 26 March 15 06:32 GMT (UK)  »
I'm trying to find the whereabouts of Charles Chalk from around 1867 through to 1877 and wondered if anyone could shed some light. I have him marrying his wife Fanny (Sharp) in 1855 and have their daughter Jane living with Fanny's parents in 1861 although no sign of Charles and Fanny together in the censuses however 2nd daughter Anne is b. 1861 in Portsmouth. Harry and Emma are also b. 1863 & 66 respectively again in Portsea. In addition, I think I also have him serving 1 months hard labour for neglecting to maintain his family in 1866. The next sign I have of him is the birth of his son Charles George in 1877 (my Gt Grandfather) so my question is where did he go? Prison? Transported? Military? if anyone has any pointers I'd love to hear.

OK, it appears I am unable to pm you due to insufficient posts, I'll keep an eye on this thread just in case I may be of help.

Hi Pompeyboy, I stumbled across this site via google. Apologies if this is bad etiquette but this is my first post, I see you have an interest in the Hanslers from Portsmouth. If there is anything specific you are looking for I may be able to help. And again I apologise if this isn't the way things are done on this site.
