I'm struggling with a family with a common name........
1911 census:
Thomas CHAPMAN b 1861/62 Brighton Occ Publican
Elizabeth wife b 1872/73 Isle of Sheppey Kent
Ethel dau b 1893 Canterbury Kent
Charles son b 1901 Rawalpindi, India
Maurice son b 1903/4 Wynberg, South Africa
I understand from Thomas' great-granddaughter that he was in the army when Charles was born.
My problem is that they say they have had six children with three still living. I have found a very likely additional daughter b in Rawalpindi in 1896 who presumably died, but there are no others showing on the IGI. I was thinking there could be something about the other children on Thomas' army record, but with such a common name would it be impossible to source?
