Looks likes his death age 79 in 1943 Perhaps son of your man There is a directory of 1870/71 with Abel Chalk as a fisherman in Newfoundland Morton's Harbour and in 1898 as Chaulk with Wm sr, Abraham, Absalom, John R, Richard and Wm jr But I am not finding any of these in a census or BMD etc Ron Lankshear -Sydney NSW (from London-Shepherds Bush/Chiswick) try my links http://freepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~lankshear/ On 2011-06-16 6:33 PM, Chalk wrote: > They went to Canada at some time and Abel marries in Newfoundland in 1858. > > Nigel Chalk
