Hello, I have just joined the list and hope that someone is also researching my interests in the region. I am researching Samuel H CHAPMAN(1813/4) born Colchester, Essex in 1851 census in Magdalene Street, Colchester. Samuel is my GGGF and was a broker - family legend is he was "big in sugar", and Benjamin ROLFE(1807)born Sudbury, Suffolk who was a silk weaver working for Warner & Sons in Braintree in 1851 census. Benjamin is my GGGF. Thank you Jenny Plumb Essex
