Hi Listers, I am looking for information about my great grandfather, John Chaplin. John was born about 1867 in Bermondsey. On the 1881 Census he was living in Lenton Nottingham, with his mother, Jane and a brother, Alfred and a sister, Kate. there was no sign of a father. By 1891 he had married Elizabeth Cheetham but was still living with his mother, still in Lenton. His wife. Elizabeth, however, was living as a boarder with one of her married sisters. They had two children, Kit and Florence, my grandmother. Sometime after Florence was born in 1899, John either dies or leaves because Elizabeth remarries and becomes Elizabeth Carey. I would be interested to hear from anyone who has any information about these people.
