Thomas Chapman, Batchelor, then resident in Camden Town, listed as son of John Chapman, Farm Bailiff (but otherwise, there are no clues to his age or place of birth), married Lucy Hockley (b. 1852), daughter of George Hockley and Eliza Crow, at Holy Cross Church, Felsted on Leap Day 29 Feb 1876. In 1871, Lucy Hockley (19) had been a Housemaid in Park Road, Hampstead (Belsize Park), which is how their paths will have crossed in that area.

Thomas and Lucy had one daughter:
  1. Ellen Eliza Hockley Chapman b. 1877 M Quarter in PANCRAS Vol 01B Page 201. Died in 1877 S Quarter in PANCRAS Vol 01B Page 80
There were no further children to this couple in Britain in the following 20 years; I was also unable to find them on any subsequent census.
