Grandchildren Through Mary and Catherine

Mary Chugg married George Lane in 1850, I have a record of one child, Thomas Lane for whom I have not gained further information. Writing this story has provided some encouragement to research the Lane family again, which I have foregone as I focused on the American pioneer families. A note on the Message Board at www.ancestry.com some years ago reminded me that there are kin yet in England and Wales.

Through Catherine there are these grandchildren. I have found variant spellings, selecting this spelling here and throughout my personal records:
John Chappelle, 1853 to 1872 and Thomas Chappelle, b. 1854
Mary Jane Chappelle Bradder, 1856 to 1924 born Cardiff and passed in Lehi, Utah. Arthur Bradder was a stonemason, carving headstones and in Lehi an obolisk that stands outside the Lehi historical center. Of thirteen children I have for this couple there are several buried in the Ogden City Cemetery that have no marker, I attribute this to the hardships of pioneering, there could be no stone "extra" that they could have used. I cannot confirm this, perhaps I am off the mark. Four daughters lived to have families of their own: Alice B de St Jeor, Henrietta B Gill, Jane B de St Jeor and Mabel B de St Jeor. The de St Jeor husbands were two brothers and a cousin. All these families settled in Lehi or other Utah County locations.
Elizabeth Ann Chappelle Madden, b. 1858, no further record. in my files and one unnamed daughter b/d 1860.
William Chappelle 1862 to 1922, born Cardiff and living his life out in Ogden, Utah. He married Fidelia Lowe in 1881 and they were parents to six sons, William Andrew, John Arthur, Thomas Alonzo, Walter Webb, Clarence August and Henry Rodger; all living to adulthood. Fidelia passed away 1938, and rests beside her husband in the Ogden City Cem.

  1. Researching anew the family of Mary Chugg Lane, I find these records: Pedigree Resource File (LDS Archives)-George Lane, b 9 Jun 1810 d 25 Sep 1866, m 13 Jul 1850 all West Down, Devon, England. As a widow Mary passed away 28 Jun 1878, I believe in Glamorgan, Wales. I find a Thomas Lane b 6 Jul 1851 at West Down, m Jun 1876 at Swansea to Susanna Lord b 1857 Swansea and having six children with one passing away before 1911 census.I do not have the linking information of this last family to the former. Can any reader of this record confirm this link? KK
