Looking for Arthur Chapman born 1909

[ckimberley5]

Hi All

Wonder if anyone could help find Arthur Chapman born Aug 1909 Walpole St Andrew area I believe, I believe his father was James don't have much information to go on and can't find him on 1911 census 

I believe ther may have been brothers John, George, Jack and sister Betty and I believe he married Florence Mary Ann Panks but don't have a date sorry

Would appreciate any help or information regarding this.

Thanks in advance of any help

Hi,

I think this is his birth, Walpole St Andrew would have registered in Wisbech RD,

Arthur CHAPMAN    Dec Q 1909    Wisbech    3b  499


and his marriage,

Arthur CHAPMAN    Sep Q 1931    Downham    4b  867
Florence M A C PANKS


and possibly his death,

Arthur CHAPMAN    Dec Q 1981    King's Lynn  10  1404
DOB: 28 Aug 1909


but I also can't 1911 census entry that matches him if his father's name is James


Oh dear, there is a 1 year old Arthur living in the Wisbech RD but his father's name is also Arthur, maybe you could get the marriage cert. to see what details it gives for his father.


Regards,
Daisy

Thanks for the reply Daisy

The marriage looks good ty,

however a little confused by the birth date DOB with the death record Aug but birth Dec is that when it was registered perhaps?

Thank you for your help really appreciate any input to solve my dilema.

Births, marriages, deaths are registered in quarters Mar, Jun, Sep, Dec.  You would think an August event would be registered in Sep but maybe it was a little late.

You have 42 days to register a birth so 28th August plus 42 = 9th October which would put it into the Oct/Nov/Dec quarter.

Thanks Dawn

That may explains things but still a little confused by the birth month, I am not used to the Engllish records yet only just started searching in England.

Appreciate all in put many thanks

Where did the birth month of August come from?

Any idea if brothers/sister were older or younger?  If they were born before 1911 it would help with tracing on the census

and possibly his death,

Arthur CHAPMAN    Dec Q 1981    King's Lynn  10  1404
DOB: 28 Aug 1909


Hi Milliepede
From Daisy's reply above He did die in 1981 that I have definate,

I dont know the ages of the brothers/sister sorry, I have tried on the census to find with the brothers/sister names regardless of ages but just cant see I am doubting that his father was named James so difficult when I dont have a very relient source for information.

Thanks Milliepede for your interest.
