Hi Roy & Judy, Thank you both for your interest in the CHIPPINDALE family. I realise that to tie in with Thomas CHIPPENDALE needs the generation-to-generation links, but before I spent a lot of time doing the research, I wanted to check whether anyone else had done it before me. I chose to post the information about Harold because I had sufficient information about him to be able to confirm that it was the same person if he turned up on a tree of the CHIPPENDALE family, especially if that tree included the famous Thomas CHIPPENDALE. In my research so far, I belive that Harold was the son of Benjamin CHIPPINDALE (1835 - 1880) and Isabella ABBOTT (1836 - ?). Bejamin was the son of Joseph CHIPPINDALE (b. 1810, Yeadon) and Catherine BRAYSHAW (b. 1814, Rawdon) I also then ran into the problem of which Joseph CHIPPINDALE is the right one ! I was interested to know whether there is a published genealogy of the furtiture-making CHIPPENDALEs. If not, and no-one can tie in with the above details, then I'll knuckle down to work and try to build up the tree ;-) Once again, thanks for the help and advice. Any further information that anyone can provide will be most welcome.

His wife Isabella was aged 25 and born at Yeadon. They then had just one child, a daughter Emma, aged 5, born at Guiseley. The marriage of Benjamin and Isabella ABBOT is found with FreeBMD at Otley in the June quarter of 1855, vol 9a page 177. Living with the family in 1861 was a Hannah Abbott, aged 16, described as a niece-in-law. Going to the IGI, Benjamin CHIPPENDALE was baptised at Guiseley on Aug 17 1834, son of Joseph and Catharine Chippendale (batch no. CC009382, source the Guiseley BTs). You then find the marriage of Joseph Chippendale and Catharine BRAYSHAW at Guiseley on 28 June 1832. Going back to the 1861 census, Joseph Chippendale, Benjamin's likely father, was also a clog maker and living at Yeadon. He was aged 51 and suppposedly born at Yeadon, making his birth about 1809/10. Unfortunately the IGI offers a couple of possibles for a Joseph Chippendale both baptised in 1809, one at Otley and one at Guiseley and a third possible (just) baptised at Otley in 1805.

Click on the Cs and you will see your Chippendales at Otley featured. It appears to take the line back to a John Chippendale born about 1740. http://homepages.tesco.net/~townsleyb/TownsFH/html/index.htm I must say, from long experience of one-name studies, my feeling is that all the Chippendales at Otley were probably ultimately from a common ancestor. Speaking of which, I find from the Guild of One-Name Studies Register that we have a one-name study of Chippendale and variants. Go to our website (URL below in my signature) and you will find the person running it. It's a lady in Kent. -- Roy Stockdill Editor, Journal of One-Name Studies Guild of One-Name Studies website: www.one-name.org Newbies' Guide to Genealogy & Family History: www.genuki.org.uk/gs/Newbie.html "There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about."
