Joseph and Jane Ann were my great grandparents (on my mother's side (Chipchase). My mother is Thelma Chipchase, her father was Benjamin, son of Joseph and Jane.

I see you have also tagged surname of Olley. Within my tree I have my grandfathers brother Henry marrying an Evelyn Olley.

P.S. Yes - Joseph did die in a railway accident and is buried at Saltwell Cemetery in Gateshead.

Extremely interested in widening my "chipchase" side of the family tree, so grateful for any further information you can provide. Happy to also give you access to my tree.

I was very pleased to see your message on the ancestry site. I used to work with your grandfathers brother Henry Chipchase on British Railways restaurant cars in the late 1960s.I remember him telling me that his father was an engine driver and that he was killed in a railway accident.Do you know anythimg about the accident? I have done a lot of research into this ,but I have not been able to find anything out about an accident,only the fact that he was a engine driver. Only last week I found out that Henrys wife Doris Chipchsae [Olley] died in Dec 2003 in Hoyland near Barnsley, South Yorkshire.She was aged 95. I would have tryed to make contact with her if I had known she was still around 5 years ago I will send some more info shortly.

Martin,

many thanks for your response - appreciated.

I am still digging to get a wider view of my family (given my mother is the last of the family, etc. and her memory is becomming less reliable).

I have no specific information on Joseph's death other than what was passed down my family. Joseph's Wife (my mothers grandmother) spent the last years of her life looking after my mother and my aunt. The stories therefore that my mother have are from this direct route.

I have attached a couple of items (marriage photo of Henry and Evelyn and local newspaper snippet). Grateful if you could confirm that these are the same individuals we are talking about - i.e. never heard the name Doris in reference to Evelyn before.

Any further information that you may have on my mothers uncle Henry would be extremly welcomed as you can appreciate (especially any decendents, etc.).

I am also intrigued as to why you posted the original item against Joseph Chipchase, given you said that you are not related but were a friend of Henry.

Happy to give you access to the tree I am compiling at the moment if this is of interest to you, etc. Early picture of Henry in his army days - I have always been likened to him for some reason (mainly my mother and aunt's memory of him).

As I have said - any information would be extremely welcome. Take care,

Eric Faulder

I can only see the one photo - you also have several user names on Ancestry which confused me (only now have seen the other replies you sent). I have sent you an email, based on your original user name which was registered on ancestry. If you do not receive this please let me know. I have also registered one of your user names to have access to my tree. On the site you will see several photos and documents relating to the Chipchases, etc.

According to my mother, her Uncle Harry and aunt Evelyn (Doris) never had any children.

Cheers Eric.
