I think I need to ask my aunt abit more although its difficult as I dont think she understands why I am interested.
Anyway thankyou again

If you look on www.freebmd.org.uk you will find a marriage for Florence Pickering to Henry Brighton in 1915.   Getting that certificate will give you details of both fathers and should help you to trace them back.
Parish records are all held at the local record office and can be viewed on film there.  Often they have transcripts too.   It is also worth looking at the IGI on www.familysearch.org as they cover many parishes for baptisms and marriages.  Mostly pre 1900 though.
You cannot send pms until you have three posts to your credit so you should be OK now.

I have many Yorkshire Chapmans - happy to share what I have

Stab in the dark here.  Do you have a James Chapman born in Leeds [rough guess would be about 1770] who later went to Wicklow.  I have no other information on this man.

Sorry, Erato, he doesn't look like one of mine.  Happy hunting

Hi
I am doing my family history and have come across a problem. My great great aunt Elizabeth Kempley born 1830 Seaton Ross married John Wilkinson sept qtr 1852 Pocklington district but there was also Elizabeth Chapman born 1831 Seaton Ross and married John Wilkinson December qtr 1852 and I have found the details of one Elizabeth Wilkinson on 61,71,81,91,1901 and 1911 census but I cant be sure if I have the right one as the two Elizabeths details would be very similar. Do you have any info on Elizabeth Chapman and her husband John Wilkinson that might help prove it one way or the other.

Hi
I have just joined this site and noted your queries re the Chapmans. I have another line which originated from Richard Chapman (and beyond, I have his bible)) b 1800 Horncastle Lincolnshire. His son Joseph b1825 (my gtx2 grandfather) worked with horses and came over to Burton Pidsea abt 1845 and created a branch moving on to Hull abt 1865. Joseph was a carter, one of his daughters married into the Dibb family and my gt grandfather George Henry was Supt of Hull CID. The male line now seems to be lost though although his daughters had very interesting lives. Would be grateful if anybody can contribute any more
