Jesse Chitty, 1865, Shalford, Surrey
I am from Auckland, New Zealand, and attempting to trace my paternal great grandfather, Jesse CHITTY, who I believe was born in Surrey around 1865. He married Ann [Annie] Maria MUNFORD [Sussex, b. 1865] . They lived at Lochnel Farm under the shadow of St Martha's Church near Shalford/Chilworth in south-western Surrey. I believe Lochnel Farm was ,and still is, somewhere around Shalford, the homestead now a riding stables. Jesse [Jess] and Ann CHITTY had 3 sons and 5 daughters - Joseph, Thomas, Jesse, Ena, Elsie, Emily Blanche [my grandmother], Ethel and Edie. They emigrated to New Zealand in 1912 [ship unknown]. Jesse died in Auckland27-8--1936, aged 71. Ann died aged 67 August 18, 1932. I would be most grateful for any information anyone could furnish me on Jesse CHITTY and the CHITTY family and other family branches he links to.
