Hi Mark.............Newbiggin is near Askrigg and Aysgarth..right in the middle of God's own country!!!
I offer this as apossibility:

JOHN CHAPMAN baptised Askrigg 10.12.1875 mother Grace Chapman....
Grace Chapman 1854 Aysgarth daughter of John Chapman and Nancy nee Brunskill...........John Chapman junior married Elizabeth Tennant 1898 and ended up in Lancashire.......
EDIT 17.53..if you go for GRace Chapman 1854 Aysgarth Yorkshire on the 1881 specifically..it will give you her widowed father JOHN CHAPMAN..a farmer...her two siblings..and her two illegitimate children..one of whom is John.......she is a Farm Servant..obviously working for her dad.......there's more than one way to skin a rabbit!!

Derek.

Researching:
anything that anybody needs in Derbyshire /Notts?East Yorkshire.....but mainly Derbys

Sidney Chapman born 1909 Birkenhead son of Elizabeth Tennant and James Chapman was my uncle. James' parents were James Spencer and Agnes Spencer. The family moved to Bristol sometime before 1916 as their last child Joyce was born Ther. As a child I knew Elizabeth Tennant as an old lady, and many of my uncle's brothers and sisters. Elizabrth Tennant died in 1969. Hope this helps. Best wishes Teresa.
