Cheetham

I'm off to the archives tomorrow to try and solve the origins of the CHEETHAM family. So far I've traced them to Whatton in the Vale. Here's the thing, I have an ancestor whose father and mother were Joseph and Mary CHEETHAM of Nottingham. There are several Joseph and Mary CHEETHAMS any of which could be a candidate. Somehow I have got to winkle out the right couple.
I'm going to search the Electoral Registers for the WW1 years to see if the Alfred CHAPLIN I have in my tree ever lived on Gregory Boulevard. If he di it will link him to the John CHAPLIN I have found in Grantham, and thus solve a 100 year family mystery.
Still have one lost child of my Great grandmother to find. I found from the 1911 census that she had two children that were born and then died before my grandfather was born. I managed to find one of them, Arthur, born and died in 1904 baptised at St Nicholas Nottingham. I am going to recheck the register again in case I have missed something.
