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 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,

Yes, this is very interesting. your ancestor must have worked for the Twycross family.  Do you have any other information, such as letters etc.
I have copies of photographs of the children.
Family members remained interested in the railways.

Hi Chris

Firstly a big apology for taking so long to get back to you (almost a year!) and I have no excuses except being spread too thin.

Anyway to belatedly answer your question...unfortunately I have nothing from Mary Chaplin - no letters, no diaries, no photos, nothing!  Interestingly she married a John Vass who spent the same census night in The Police Station!  No idea why or why he was there alone at the time.

If you DO have any photos, I'd love to have a look...just in case!  I have no idea what Mary looked like.

Regards
Gary

I have an ancester who was a servant at The Brook in 1861 and would like to add my thanks for the link to the photo.  In case anyone is interested, her name was Mary Chaplin and she was 28.
