Anyone with TSC on tree. Born 1770 ish in and married to Rebecca Jones. He was a baker/biscuit in the EastbEnd of London circa 1830-50. William Edmund Champion was one of several children from his marriage to Rebecca.

I am unable to confirm TSC's parents name. It is though that Champion de Crespigny is the base French Huegehot name of the family

To find if he is in a GR tree other than yours........look at 'search all member trees'.....under the 'search button.

And ensure that he is in your tree on here.............
