Thanks Adam,
Joseph and John are on my tree.  The others may be related but too far out on the twigs for now.

Thank you so much adam. I don't recognise these names  , they are not my direct ancestors but could be cousins etc , I believe Hamsterley was a small village. Perhaps I cam widen my search and see if these people fit into my tree.
Thank you once again for your time.

Hi Adam

Thank you very much for the info. As you say, not the Thomas I am looking for but they may be connected. I'll keep searching.

Are there any other chapmans, just out of interest?

Hello Deborah. If you mean any more Chapman inscriptions in Hamsterley the answer is no.
I do have inscriptions for Chapman at Wolsingham, Witton le Wear, Hunwick, Crook, St Helen Auckland and Willington.
