Hi
I'm researching my paternal side of the family - CHALK's - to my knowledge lived
in Kingston upon Thames in Surrey up until 1950's and I have proof dating back to late
1800s. Does anyone have any other information on the Chalks? Maybe a business link? I
know that they were a family business of builders merchants and I have been told were
instrumental in building a lot of the Fairfields area in Kingston. Apparently the name is
mentioned in the Charter of Kingston (but this is only heresay - I have no proof yet).
The Chalk's I have names for are Edward Chalk 1873-1939, siblings Leo, Hilda, Edward
Charles, Christina all between 1903 and 1920. I also have scribblings from my grandmother
Chalk that the families Atkins, Fowlers, Thompsons were inter-married with each other. I
can't find any links there yet. If anyone has any clues of business contacts with this
family I would be interested to hear from you.
Thank you
Lucy Boxall
