Hello All,
My friend's paternal great grandfather was Charles H. Chamberlin. I found him in the
1880 Census living with his parents at 345 Totowa Avenue in Paterson, Passaic Co., New
Jersey, U.S.A. with a birth year circa 1875.
He has 2 sisters listed: 4 year old Mary F. and 1 year old Jennie E.. Both their parents
are listed as being born in New York. His father is listed as 33 year old Theodore H.
Chamberlain & his mother as 33 year old Amy (both born circa 1847). Theodore is a
printer in Paterson. Both his parents are listed as being from England. Amy keeps home and
her parents are both from New York. Theodore’s older brother 38 year old Joseph
Chamberlain lives next door at 347 with his wife Martha, 13 year old daughter Annie and 8
year old Franklin. According to the Census, Joseph was born in England so, Theodore’s
parents must have moved to New York sometime between 1842 and 1847 in order to have
Theodore in New York.
Does anyone have connections with this Theodore H. Chamberlain/Chamberlin from New York
and Paterson, NJ and/or his brother, Joseph? Any idea where in England or which ship
records between 1842-1847 I can check to find their parents.
Thanks for the help!!
