Hi
I am reponding to your post on the Chaplin forum a while ago. I am
interested in Suffolk Chaplins and I wonder where you got your
information about William Chaplin and Elizabeth Anstey. If it was the
IGI, there seems to be a set of duplicate entries for William's children
giving the mother as either Elizabeth Anstey or Agnes [Frost].
I have looked in transcripts of the Semer registers (but not the actual
registers yet) and they list William Chaplin's family with his wife as
Agnes. There is no mention of Elizabeth. They also record the burial of
Agnes Chaplin widow of WIlliam 26 Sep 1602.
The bishops transcrips for Semer give William Chaplin as Church Warden
in some years.
I have Martha Chaplin baptised Semer 4 Feb 1583/4 daughter of William. The
mother is not given but Agnes was given as the mother of an earlier and
a later child.
The Suffolk Chaplins seem to be tightly localised to the area between
Sudbury and Hadleigh and I think they must all be one family. I have not
looked over the border in Essex yet but I expect they will be there too.
I dont have many occupations but Church Warden, wool comber, labourer
and baker crop up. There was a William Chaplin Gentleman in Bury St
Edmunds he was having children in the 1650s. The Lincolnshire Chaplins
who appear in Burkes Peerage are said to come from Bury St Edmunds
according to Burke. A Robert Chaplin married Elizabeth Astie at St Mary
Bury St Edmunds 14 May 1627. I wonder if this could be a variant of
Anstey.
I dont know if any of this helps you but I would like to find out where
the William/Elizabeth Anstey story comes from.
Best Wishes
Simon
