You posted 4 different GenForum Chamberlain messages dated 12 & 14 Jun 2002; I'll attempt to answer them here.Three of your messages pertain to the name Orlando, which appears as a middle name several times in your family, you said, and you also wonder whether the Chamberlain/Kendrick family of Neville Chamberlain, the English Prime Minister, has this name Orlando somewhere.I know nothing of Kendrick genealogy, so cannot answer for that; what I do have here for the lineage of Neville Chamberlain's family does not include anyone named Orlando.I see that the IGI (Mormon online site) listing has an Orlando Chamberlain, b. 1833, Kidderminster, whose parents are not listed, but he must be related to your family somehow.The IGI lists another Orlando Chamberlain, b. 1874, Ararat, Victoria, Australia, with parents not listed - so here is a later example, perhaps also pertaining to your family, of Orlando being used as a first name.
Regarding James Chamberlain, the IGI lists James, chr. Nov 5, 1819, Kidderminster, Worcestershire, as one of 7 children of Thos. & Anne Chamberlain, chr. btw. Jan. 6, 1812, and Aug. 8, 1823 in Kidderminster.Thos. Chamberlain married Anne Dewsbury, 24 Feb 1811, in Kidderminster.I have not taken the time to search through IGI records for his likely parents, but you may wish to do so.He must have been born sometime before 1795, most likely c1790, perhaps in Kidderminster or somewhere else nearby in Worcestershire.The IGI also lists an Ann Chamberlain, chr. 29 Jan 1836, Kidderminster, dau. of Thomas & Hannah Chamberlain - probably the same family.
I do not see any IGI listing for James Chamberlain's marriage to Mary Harbridge c1846, nor for Charles Chamberlain's marriage to Mary Ann Hayward/Haywood c1848, and you did not say where you got this information.Also Charles is not listed as one of James' siblings; I don't know who he is.
Additional searching of IGI records may reveal more about this family.I hope this information is helpful.
