I've been researching my Chapman's of Leckhampstead, Berks for a while now and whilst they were prevalent in Leckhampstead from 1752 thru' 1871 (they then moved north to Yorkhsire/Lancashire)... I am at a dead stop pre 1752.
I've not quite exhausted all the Parish Registers at the BRO in Reading but it is looking increasingly likely that pre 1752 my Chapman's were residing outside Berkshire, hence I am starting to look at Oxfordshire, Surrey etc etc.
Can any one check the Marriage Index to see if they can identify a marriage between a William Chapman and Elizabeth around 1750?
They had a son George, baptised in Beedon, Berks on 3rd December 1752 but prior to this I have no knowledege of them.
N.B. I am aware of a William Chapman marrying an Elizabeth Griffin on East Challow, Berks on 6th August 1750 but sadly this would not appear to be my William and Elizabeth.
Thanks in anticipation of any assistance you are able to offer.
