1841 Census look-up please: William Henry Chappell

[carol_cholsey]

I wonder if this marriage entry from the IGI might be relevant:
Thomas Chappel and Harriett Ferguson 20 September 1832
St John the Evangelist, Lambeth

(re the 1881 census entry which shows an aunt - Mary A Ferguson)

I think this may be the 1841 entry for them:
HO107 488-8 folio 18 page 29, Effingham Place, Deptford
Thos Chapel age 38 labourer not born in county
Harriett do age 32 born in county
George age 6 not born in county
John age 11 months not born in county

I can't find the family in 1851, which should show if William is with them.

Just spotted this christening on the IGI:
William James Chapple
chr St Nicholas, Deptford 26 October 1845, parents Thomas and Harriet

I know it's the wrong middle name, but could possibly be your William.

Elizabeth LETCHFORD widow 46 of 47 Myddleton Square (Vincent LOCK farmer)
Wit:  Alfred & Ellen JOHNSON

When Robert George CHAPPELL (clerk & traveller) of 168 Mortlake Rd, Ilford, Essex joins the army in Dec 1915 he gives his next of kin as father William Henry CHAPPELL of 50 Heber Road, East Dulwich so he was still alive then.

Still couldn't identify him in 1891/1901 or even the 1911 index from this (just in case there was a further clue anywhere) although found Elizabeth LETCHFORD nee LOCK earlier (1871 Camberwell says she born Aller Somerset.  There is a Betsy with father Vincent born Aller Somerset - same place as Mary LUXTON - in 1851 census Aller Somerset which would fit).  Elizabeth was the widow of Edward LETCHFORD.

Am now wondering if this could be William Henry (as James) but can't see how Edward TIMMS fits in at the moment

1901 - 102 Cold Harbour Lane, Brixton, Lambeth

James CHAPPELL head mar 57 comission traveller b.Deptford
Betsy wife 56 b.Aller Somerset
Edward TIMMS step grandson 8 b.Camberwell

RG13/419 folio 18 page 27

I can see James & Betsey in the 1911 census index ................
