I have been looking at the chatfield family tree at http://chatfield.familytreeguide.com/getperson.php?personID=I16347&tree=T1

You have an some inaccurate information under Charles Morgan Chatfield. b Arundel 1857.
This man is my great grandfather, he married Annie Richardson on the 27 Aug 1894 at Midhurst registry office. I have a copy of this certificate. The inaccuracy is your listing of his children, the first three children you list are NOT Charles and Annies children. Charles and Annies children were:
(Now corrected CJC)
1. Caroline (Carrie) Chatfield b 27 July 1895 in Pulborough m Archibald Smith 12 April 1923 St Marys Pulborough d 16 Feb 1963, buried St Marys Pulborough. One child who died 30 Dec 2012 no further descendents.
2. Annie May Chatfield b 24 Jan 1898 died age 5, 20 Mar 1903 in Broomers Hill, Pulborough, from Diptheria, which granny always said was caught from eating dirty ice from a pond. buried St Marys Pulborough 25 March 1903.
3. Elsie Clara Chatfield ( as you correctly list - my lovely granny who did indeed marry Arthur Kenrick (Ken) Campbell on 18th June 1932 at St Marys Pulborough. 3 children, including my mum, all still alive
4. Charles Ralph Chatfield b 10 Feb 1906 Codmore Hill (near pulborough) married Edith Lucy Short 11 Jan 1930 St Marys Pulborough. died March 1955 Southlands Hospital Shoreham. 3 children all still alive, one living in France, one in Brazil and the third in Pulborough Sussex.

Charles Morgan Chatfield died 31 August 1909 in White Cottage Codmore Hill Pulborough from a stroke I have a death certificate, and there was a coroners inquest. Buried 4 September 1909 at St Marys Pulborough. As you can see Annie was left with a young family to bring up on her own. For some reason she fell out with her husbands family and left the White Cottage under duress but not before she had copied down all the names and birth dates in William Henry Chatfields family bible, I suppose it was some sort of proof of descendancy for her children? I have those details too.
Annie Chatfield died 1 Dec 1958 and is buried in grave number SW0940 at St Marys Pulborough.

Incidentally,
The first three children you list are all children of Charles Morgan Chatfield's youger brother Thomas (Tom) James (known in the family as Jim) Chatfield and Emma Jane Ellis m 1895. Jim died 1 Oct 1943 in Pyrford Woking Surrey. Jim was a blacksmith.

This couple also had an older child Edward William Chatfield b 1898 in Milford Surrey
Then Ethel Kate b Hartington Sussex 1899 Leonard James Ellis Chatfield b Hartington 1901and Mabel Jane b 1903 Hartington. Haven't got exact dates for these sorry.

I hope you have enough proof here and will be able to update the inaccuracies.
