Thomas Chapman (b. 1848, Bodmin, Cornwall, UK) in my family tree was son of Richard Chapman (b.1822,Helland, Cornwall, UK - died Oct 29 1882 "Drakewalls, Calstock, Cornwall" - he was a lead miner, so assume he worked in the Drakewalls mine, also wondering if he was a fatality there). Trying to establish if this Thomas was the brave one who rescued those fellow trapped miners. |
