Looking for any connections with:
William Chapman born 1776
He and wife Mary Nason, lived in Cloyne, County Cork, Ireland.
William and Mary had two sons (information confirmed)
1. Michael Nason Chapman b.1822 Cloyne d.23 Feb 1906 AUS
married in Sydney 11 Dec. 1846 to Catherine Shanahan
Michael became a member of parliament in Australia
children 1.Mary Jane Chapman b. 12 Feb 1848 in Sydney
m. her cousin Henry Chapman
2.Ellen Chapman b. 3 Oct 1849 in Sydney
3.Margaret Chapman b. 21 Mar 1853 d. 2 Nov 1854
4.William J. Chapman b. 1858 d. 1865
2. Thomas John Chapman b. 1837 Cloyne Co. Cork d. unknown Sydney
married in Sydney 28 Mar. 1866 to Louisa Mary Sutherland
children 1. Louisa Chapman b. 1867 m. Thomas H. Jones
2. Christina Edith Chapman b.1879 m. Henry Rawlinson
3. Alice M. Chapman b.1871 m. Herbert Baker
4. Mabel Sutherland Chapman b.1874 m. William Mackay
5. John Sutherland Chapman b. 1876
6. Gertrude F. Chapman b.1878
7. Sydney Oswald Chapman b. 1880 d. 1880
8. Thomas Leslie Chapman b. 1881
9. Stella Chapman b.1884
10. Ernest Gordon Chapman b. 1885
Many of Thomas & Louisa Chapmans children and grandchildren were given
the middle name of Sutherland.
Mary Jane Chapman (d/o Michael Nason Chapman and Catherine Shanahan)
married her cousin Henry Chapman.
Henry was born in 1846 in Co. Cork, Ireland, s/o William Edward Chapman
and Margaret Meaney, and came to Australia about 1869.
It is thought that William Edward Chapman was probably the brother of
Michael Nason Chapman and Thomas John Chapman.
We are also trying to find any connections that the above family may
have with:
William Chapman b.c1814 m. Bridget Meaney in Ireland
Their son Edward Meaney Chapman (b.1840 Dublin Ireland d. AUS. 1923)
arrived Aust. about 1872 and married Christiana Matilda Graham.
