The Methodist (Sydney) Date 5 January 1924 Β· Page 18 Β· Article MRS. W. CHAPMAN. Secondary

For William Chapman & Mary Elizabeth Field

Later she married William Chapman, and reared a family of six sons and three daughters, and by example and pre cept trained them up in the way of godliness.

Quoted as the Trove OCR stands. The obituary is headed 'MRS. W. CHAPMAN.' and this is the only statement of the marriage; no date and no place, so the family carries neither, and no marriage event is created. THE NINE CHILDREN ARE NOT CREATED: the obituary counts them and names none. The NSW birth index for CHAPMAN with father WILLIAM and mother MARY E, Manning River district, roughly 1860-1890, would name them. William Chapman is a bare person here - nothing but his name is known.
