Message Board Post:
I have a frustrating silly little problem with this chap, the son of Daniel Challis and
Sarah Digby.
I have traced him though all the Censuses as he moved from Essex to London to be a hotel
keeper, and back to Essex to be a Farmer, and then back to London and the hotel trade
until his death in Westminster in 1899.
The problem I have is that all the censii after 1861 he has a niece in tow, Mary Bone of
Surrey.
I beleive she was the daughter of William Bone of Mousehill, Surrey, Mary was baptised 10
Jul 1842 and I have traced her family back to Absolom Bone c1786, but the earliest Link I
can find between the Bone family and the Challises is the marriage of Charles William
Challis (Joseph's younger brother) and Emily Bone Mary's elder sister) in 1865
Another Bone/Challis Siblings marriage was in 1872.
Emily was single in 1861 living in Crawley, Winchester so can anyone identify how Mary
Bone was Joseph Challis' niece in 1861?
Suspicion falls on Joseph's first wife Mary Ann, but I think she was Mary Ann
Salisbury (married 1859q1)
