Felixstowe very much exists. However, it is in county Suffolk. It is
on the
coast - about 13 miles SE of Ipswich. I believe it is a ferry port for
Scandanavia. It has been a parish since 1653.
Which ancestor CHAPMAN are you refering to? Not the immigrant Edward Chapman
line, is it?
.......... How exciting to get your message Bob!
I just recently found a reference to my gr-grandfather on
the Internet. It had to do with sports being played on Sunday.
He, (the Rev. William Henry Hay Chapman) was apparently affiliated
with Felixstowe at the club was being admonished for Sunday play.
Another entry mentioned that he was no longer a member there.
His son, Richard Henry was my grandfather and was also involved
with golf in San Francisco.
This Internet research is fascinating and the list members
so helpful, like yourself. I'll get out my maps again and pinpoint
Felixstowe SE of Ipswich. Thank you so much!
