Hannah Chater b 1818 West Bromwich

[Bellou]

I am researching Hannah Chater b 1818 who married Thomas Holloway b 1818 in Dudley Stafforshire in 1840.

From the census it appears she was born in West Bromwich about 1818. . Could anyone assist in finding her baptism ? or does anyone have any links with this Chater family.

Thomas and Hannah had canal boats in Oldbury . Hannah died in 1886.

Thanks

Hi

I have links to Chaters. My Great Gdad and G Great Gdad were called Edward Chater. Edward Chater (snr) married Clara James in West Bromwich in 1884 and had several children who i'm trying to trace. I don't know any more on Edwards parents etc so it's possible that your Hannahe could be related???

Hi!

Yes I am still here! I haven't really got any further with the Chaters. Perhaps Edward is a relative . What info do you have ?

None of her sons were Edward . They were Samuel , Thomas , Joseph, James and John . Are these names in your tree.

The biggest link is with canal boats . If that sound familiar

Best wishes

Hi

Thanks for getting in touch. Unfortunately none of my family kept any photos, certs or remember much about their ancestors!

I do know that my Grandad John Edward Chater 1912, remembers having an Uncle Jo but i don't know if he was an uncle or could of been a great Uncle. He also said he had an Uncle Cornelius.

Grandads parents were Edward (1891)and Martha (1894). Martha was a Brooks and married Edward in Coventry 1914. Martha came from a big boating family based around Northants so there is lots of history there.

Edward's father was also called Edward but i don't have a DOB for him. He married Clara Elizabeth James in West Bromwich 1884.

Now the link I need to see if they are related to your Hannah is Edward Snr's parents! This is were i get stuck as no one knows..........arrrrgghhhh.

Hope we can help each other??

Hiya

Hope your well?

Do you have a Martha Holloway on your tree? I've been getting on a bit further with my Chaters. I have my Great Grandfathers parents as Edward & Clara Chater as I've said previously but I have now found out that Edwards Father was Joseph Chater who was from Dudley, he married a Mary Ann Jukes (not 100% on this as yet) but Joseph's parents were Thomas & Susannah. Do you have any of these names on your side?

Also I came across another family member with the surname Wenlock which is a big boating family. On the 1861 census I found this:

1861 Census RG9/2021/115/36
Edward Wenlock age 37, boatman, born Worcester
staying with his (or probably more correctly, his wife’s) niece Martha Holloway
wife Mary age 31 born Oldbury
Daughter Hannah age 5 born Newport Pagnell
Son Edward age 2 born Tipton
Daughter Sarah age 6m born Halesowen

Obviously this Hannah is a Wenlock but it was the ref to Martha Holloway that interested me as it could be the same Holloways that you mention.

Do you have any Marths's in your tree born Holloways or married into the family? What do you think?

Hi there just finding my way around. My name is Chater, my fathers name was Cornelias, and Granddads name was Edward, Grandma Clara. Boat people. My family home was West Bromwich.
I do have pics of both Grandad and Grandma which I got this weekend which is why I have found you through google, but my attachments are too heavy to post.
