Hannah Chater b 1818 West Bromwich

[Bellou]

Hi Rosewood 10!

Welcome to the Chater family hunt! I still don't know who the parents of Hannah Chater b 1818 are . She married Thomas Holloway and there are Wenlocks in the family. Edward Wenlock b 1824 was married to Mary Holloway b1830., . Thomas Holloway's sister . Their parents were John Holloway and Sarah Owen , canal boatman from Oldbury.

All the family seem to be canal boatmen. The Holloways had a coal business on the side of the canal at Oldbury .

Martha Holloway b 1842 was the daughter of Hannah (Chater) and Thomas Holloway.

Have you managed to link everyone up yet canalbabe?

Hello there,

I guess you have been rooting around for some time. I just accessed pics of Grandad and Grandma Edward and Clara today, and really find this page by chance on google and thought I might make contacts with what are very obviously relatives. We're not really that good at keeping contact are we....drifting gypsies really

The part I can contribute is that Edward and Clara along with other children had a son named Cornelias Chater, who married Gertrude Jones, and they had 6 children, me being one of them. I never saw any of my Grandparents they died before I was born in 1947.

The only Hannah Chater I can find of around that period was born in 1845 at Napton on the Hill in Warwickshire, daughter of Henry and Hannah Chater.

I think though you have had some good responses from members of the Chater family who have all supplied you with solid family information, that is factual. It seems strange to me that there is no trail to Hannah Chater and Thomas  Holloway since around 1645ish.

I give up after a night of searching, but am pleased to have read so much about my relatives that have been given to you in various posts.

Cheers and God Bless,

Miss Chater

Wow!

Welcome Rosewood10! You have just managed to fill in a big missing piece in my Chater jigsaw!

My Grandad was John Edward (Jack) Chater, grand son of Edward & Clara. He remembered having an Uncle Cornelius but couldn't remember which side of the family he was on and no one knew. I have never known who my Great Grandparents siblings were so this is a huge breakthrough! John Edwards parents were Edward & Martha (nee Brooks).

Keep in touch & thanks for making my day!

I'm still trying to trace Hannah, to be honest i havn't done much research lately, I was having a break! Will get back into the swing of things now and will keep you all posted.

Would love to know Edward & Clara's children....and any other info......and the pics you have. I have one of Edward & Clara, at least thats who i think it is or what i've been told!

[canalbabe]

Did Edward & Clara have any children called Lou or Nellie? Grandad seems to recall aunts by these names?

Also you are my first cousin 2 times removed!

Sorry to be a pain but who were Edward & Clara's parents and dob, i think i may be a generation out!
