Hello to all.
I have seen a record for a John Chapman christened 7 Apr 1811 in Egloshayle, Cornwall. I was wondering if anyone had any further information on him. His parents were John Chapman and Catharine. They also had a son Henry christened 26 Aug 1818 in Bodmin.
My particular JOHN CHAPMAN claims on his gravestone, that he was born in about 1816 in Cornwall, England (died May 10, 1903 in Murray Harbour, PEI Canada). He married MARGARET MILLAR on April 02, 1839. She was born about October 1807 in Ecclefechan, Dumfreese, Scotland, and died December 27, 1901 in Murray Harbour, PEI Canada.
Buried next to John and his wife is a man named Henry Chapman and his wife and child. I am only assuming (makes sense) that Henry and John immigrated together and may have been brothers. I can find no record of their passage to North America. I'm hoping that some Chapmans doing research in Cornwall are trying to find the burial sites of these two gentlemen in hopes that we can make a connection.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any ideas as to how I may go about this.
