I believe Charles Chappell was bap 28 Mar 1779 at Stone, the son of William Chappell & Sarah Hill. He was the second cousin of my ancestor Charles Chappell who was also baptised in 1779 at Cromhall. My Charles married Hester Boxwell in Oldbury in 1821 and had an only daughter I would be interested to know if anyone has found out if the Charles at Trafalgar was married & if he had a family.
