Who is John's mummy?
What do you think about John Thomas Chambers parentage?
He was born c 1806 in Hackney Married to Sarah Slynn in 1824 Islington Then Married Hepzibah Battersby, nee Bellman in 1853 in Poplar. There is a very likely baptism in 1805, St John at Hackney, parents John and Jane Chambers BUT In 1851 his daughter Martha Jane Chambers c 1840 Shoreditch was living in Hackney with a lady listed as her Grandmother, with the name Sarah Chambers! What do you think, any ideas where I should go from here? |

Have you found grandmother Sarah Chambers on the 41 census?

Where you should go is to the GRO for the second marriage cert to see what he said about his father. (assuming the cert isn't on the LMA records? I looked briefly, but did't see it)

I have never found another likely one, I only recently discovered her middle name was Jane! She is listed in 1851 as Martha, not Martha Jane. You have a fair point!

As in Garden type nursery man do you think? Well Hackney was quite rural then! I've got someone who lived just the otherside of the rail lines from St John at Hackney who was a Cowman, but I digress, thanks for that Jay

Yes that's what I would take it to mean.
Where's the family in 1841, the only Martha I can see aged about 1 is living with a William & Martha Chambers.
