Thread: Chandler family in London circa 1817

I'm trying to establish parents of WILLIAM GREGORY CHANDLER
born about 1817 in MARYLEBONE Middlesex
father is Richard and he is a cabinet maker on William's marriage in 1840
any help appreciated
thank you

I don't know about any siblings but he was definitely born about 1817 and always puts Middlesex or St Marylebone on the census......he was a teacher eventually and also wrote the census down for his villages.

Hi Stellier,

Not conclusive but might be worth looking at the following family:-

On IGI there is a marriage between a Richard Chandler and Elizabeth Gregory 9 Feb 1812 Saint Martin In The Fields, Westminster, London.

Of course I know that Gregory is a male name (it is my own son’s middle name) but “could” this be where the William “Gregory” Chandler came from?

If William gives his father’s profession as a cabinet maker in 1840 – I wonder if his father could have been an upholsterer when William was christened??

Could the following christening record be the one that you are looking for, as Marylebone is in the city of Westminster.

Name: William Chandler Record Type: Baptism Date: 2 Mar 1817 Father's Name: Richard Chandler Mother's Name: Elizabeth Chandler Parish: St James, Piccadilly, Westminster Borough: WestminsterCounty: Middlesex

At the time they are living in Castle Street and Richard is an upholsterer.

There appear to be other possible children that may be from this mother and father as they move around the city:-

Name: Sophia Chandler Record Type: Baptism Date: 7 Oct 1815 Father's Name: Richard Chandler Mother's Name: Elizabeth Chandler Parish: St James, Piccadilly, Westminster Borough: WestminsterCounty: Middlesex

Name: Anne Chandler Record Type: Baptism Date: 25 Jul 1819 Father's Name: Richard Chandler Mother's Name: Elisabeth Chandler Parish: St James, Piccadilly, Westminster Borough: WestminsterCounty: Middlesex

Name: Elizabeth Emma Chandler Record Type: Baptism Date: 12 Feb 1832 Father's Name: Richard Chandler Mother's Name: Elizabeth Chandler Parish: St Anne, Soho, Dean Street Borough: WestminsterCounty: Middlesex (This record is very difficult to read but another version of this record on IGI gives the middle name of Frances)

Name: Arthur Alexander Chandler Record Type: Baptism Date: 25 Oct 1835 Father's Name: Richard Chandler Mother's Name: Elizabeth Chandler Parish: St Luke, Old Street Borough: IslingtonCounty: Middlesex

More questions than answers at this stage I’m afraid but I will see if I can find a more positive link for you!

Hi found on familysearch
Richard Chandler marraige 23 april 1815 St. Marylebone, London to Ann Marshall
and
Richard Chandler marraige 15 march 1818 St. Marylebone, London to Mary Ann Nicholls
maybe possibilities of parents

thanks for all this ......its a real puzzle.
