Hewas brought up by Thomas Hurley but i do wonder where the marriage to Thompsopn began & ended. My Dads name is Thompson i am doing this research for him
Now Know a little more two death certs 1st informant was A.Chapman widow of deceased. This not legal as she was actually STILL KNOWN AS a. Thompson never married thomas Chapman/Hurley.
The 2nd death cert was also witnessed by James John Hurley looking for any census address etc also when Amy Thomson or Chapman as she called herself died or left Kenyon ST,wHETHER THERE ARE ANY LIVING RELATIONS OF jJAMES JOHN HURLEY? oNE OF THE BIGGEST QUESTIONS HAS GOT TO BE WHY DID tHOMAS cLIFT hURLEY BECOME tHOMAS cHAPMAN WHEN DID HIS WIFE hARRIET bACHE dIE. Anything at all that fills the gaps.

Have you tried finding wills for Chapman about the time when Harriet died?
Sometimes wills stipulated that someone couldn't inherit unless they changed their surname to that of the deceased.

Researching:
Henry Floyd (g x 4 grandad) Allegedly the heaviest man in England in 1842

Can you put some dates and places with this information - it's too broad a search otherwise.

Here's Harriet the younger's marriage for reference:

Marriages Mar 1901
BACHE Harriet Aston 6d 254

What about this death? The age is slightly out but place fits:
