    On the 20th January 2008 I received additional information from Christopher. Full details can be found on RUMPH Chart 0400 
    1891 Census - 91 Winchester Street, Islington, London. There is a Betsey SHAPLAND aged 55 a widow an Office Cleaner born Somerset, with her is Emma aged 18 a Boot/Book? Finisher born Islington, so I think this is the Emma who married William, (mother from Somerset, so near to the Devon idea) also with them was a George SHAPLAND, son aged 13 a Errand Boy 
    On the 29th January 2008, Christopher sent the following additional information, which I will incorporate into the chart back for Emma SHAPLAND: Emma Elizabeth Shapland (1872-1950) certainly was born (and died) in Islington, but it was her father's family that came from Devon and her mother's that came from Somerset. Her father was John Shapland, born Knowstone, Devon around 1829 (died Islington 1878) and her mother was born Betsy (or Bessy) Richards, at Carhampton, Somerset on 17 November 1834 (and died in Islington in 1910). John Shapland's father was also John, and was born around 1799 at High Bray, Devon (and died in Barnstaple, Devon in 1882), while his mother was Mary, born at Knowstone, Devon around 1803, and who died at Barnstaple in 1880. I'm not sure how much of this I have conveyed before, but I thought I had better send this info just in case. Betsy Shapland's parents in Somerset are recorded in  the Carhampton Parish Registers as William and Jane Richards, and all their other children died young, but I have no other info on this family. 
    1930 40 Enkel Street, Islington N7 (London Electoral Roll) Emily Elizabeth RUMPH is with her daughter Ruby and her husband. (London Electoral Roll) 
    1939 40 Enkel Street, Islington N7 (London Electoral Roll) Emily Elizabeth RUMPH is with her daughter Ruby and her husband. (London Electoral Roll) 
  9. 1881 71 Bermerton Street, Thornhill, Islington, London.
    1891 Census - 91 Winchester Street, Islington, London. With the family was a Minnie SWAN aged 21 married born Islington, London and Albert SWAN a Visitor aged 1 born Islington, London.
    1901 26 Albion street, Barnsbury, Islington, London. Child Cyril G aged 1 born Islington, London
    1911 12 Terront Road, West Green, South Tottenham N. Children Cyril aged 11, Albert aged 6 and Leonard aged 1 all born Islington, London. 
    It appears for some reason that George and Mary did not marry until 1936, I can only assume that one of them was already married when they had their children.

The idea of these charts is to give the information that we have found in the research we have done and put together and with the help of many other people who have contacted us over the past thirty odd years we have been researching our family. The idea is that you click on the Chart box in blue to be taken to the next family. There is now a large number of charts to be found and connections can be made to all the main families I am researching. If a chart has a box with the standard background it means that as yet I have not put the Chart on the Web.
To conform to the Data Protection Act all the Charts have been altered to exclude all details for living people other than the name.
