Dear Listers,
This is my first 'go' with the CHALK List! My wife's 6 x great grand parents
were Robert CHALK and Elizabeth HAMMOND who married at Linton,
Cambridgeshire, 11th February 1728. They had seven children - Robert, Betty,
Thomas (x2), Joseph, Anne and Jane - all baptised at Hadstock, Essex (a mere
stone's throw from Linton) and we have a lot of stuff on many of their
descendants (and would welcome more!), but we know nothing of these two. A
family story is that Robert CHALK was 'from Braintree (Essex)' but we have no
proof. Maybe someone else knows? And Elizabeth HAMMOND was from a large
family at Linton, but we can't tie her down either - any ideas?
