Chris Unwin (descendant of Thomas Chappel) and I have finally found out what happened to William CHAPPLE b c1829 ch 1831 . It appears he died of TB, just as his father did several years earlier.
From researching the web it appears people certified as having TB were isolated in workhouses. I found a really good article explaining what happened in England in the 19th century and how this reduced the spread of the disease. This is the link :

Here is part of what the article states :
"In several articles summarized in his 1908 book, The Prevention of Tuberculosis, Arthur Newsholme showed that tuberculosis had declined in England as an indirect consequence of the 1834 Poor Law.<http://ije.oxfordjournals.org/content/34/3/521.full> This law required that relief be given to the poor only within the walls of workhouses. Many of the poor were destitute because of tuberculosis. They entered the workhouse sick and were cared for during their final illness in workhouse infirmaries. The result was, Newsholme showed, to isolate poor tuberculous patients during the time when they were most liable to spread their disease."
