Hello Joan,
I looked back through my notes from many moons ago, after chatting to
the vast majority of NSW Chant members. I recall speaking to people
descended from the Chant family who arrived aboard "The Surrey" during
1875:
Joseph aged 26
Grace: aged 26
Sarah: aged 7
Mary: aged 6
John: aged 2
Charles: an infant.
They were from Somerset.
Other children born in NSW were
i) Amelia b. 1877
ii) Isabella b. 1878
iii) William Benjamin b. 1880
iv) George Alfred b. 1883
My understanding is that the above Sarah married William Liddell during
1889 at Sydney, whilst her sister Mary married William's brother George
Liddell during 1900.
I also have further details on marriages and children of their above
siblings if people want it.
Regards,
Sean

Hello John,
I have had contact with the Chant family in Leeton, way back when I was
eliminating people from "my" Chant branch descended from James Chant:
1816-1876. They were all good folk. It is quite sometime since I took my
notes, which I still have tucked away. I will dig them out and paste on
the list, leaving out of course living members.

Hello Listers,
3 of the "unchecked" marriages are in "my" family and of course
Michaels. That is descendents of James Chant: 1816-1876 of Sherborne,
Dorset. James arrived NSW 1849 onboard "The Sea".
i) Katie Chant: 1871-1941 was a grandaughter of above James
ii) Mary Chant: 1871-1943, twin sister of above Katie
iii) James Chant: 1864-1909, also a grandchild of above James Chant.
James Chant Jnr was a first cousin of above Mary and Katie.
At least that solves three of the marriages.

Hi Sean,
I think I have posted this West Chinnock family before.
Joseph Chant 1847-1884 m 1867 Grace Gray 1850-
Begat
Sarah Anne 1868-1947
Mary A c1869
Emily c1871
John c1873
Charles c1874
Isabella 1878- m 1901 Bernard Dower
William Benjamin 1880- m 1902 Ellen Elson
George A 1883
Unlike you I have Mary married to her cousin James born Sydney 1863 (NSW BDM
247/1889)
Your Amelia may be my Emily despite the difference between us for date.
Cheers,
John
Thanks Joan,
Very useful. I keep meaning to find the time to do the searches but something
else seems to crop up.
I found a small tree marked 'source unknown' among some bits at home. I don't
know if it is speculation or if someone can substantiate or refute what is
shown. Any comments please on the part I am quoting:
James Chant m Ann Tavenar
Begat
(Twin son 3rd child) William Chant 1802- m 1831 Elizabeth Male
Begat
(5th child) Alexander Chant 1845-1923 m Ruth Jennings 1848-1887 (then Sarah
Weeks, no issue)
Begat
(10th child) Walter Chant 1886-1966 m Sarah Ryan 1889-1975
Then we get on to those who are possibly still living so I won't record them
here. Do we know, though, or have contact with any Chants in Leeton, N.S.W.?
Cheers,
John

Hello Listers,
John Chant 1756-1837 (m 1778) Jane Ford 1755-1826
begat
John Chant 1790-1875 (m 1812) Ann Palmer 1786-1863
begat
John Chant 1828-1920 (m 1853) Elizabeth Butcher 1833-?
I haven't put in all the children for the first couple of marriages but for
the third I have from Beryl only:
Walter b&d 1855 Stoke-sub-Hamdon
Frederick 1856 Stoke-sub-Hamdon
John Chant's death in 1920 I have as attributed to Colin Whitehead, who put
it in Stoke sub Hamdon, as he did with a lot of other things. I have now
written for sources to a Phil Young who has in his tree, ten children for John and
Elizabeth, with them emigrating to Australia in 1857 on the 'Zemindar' so the
majority of those children will be born in Australia. Phil's tree is at:
<A HREF="http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=phily&id=I4643">http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=phily&id=I4643</A>
When you have looked at it can you tell me if you have lines for any of the
other Chant children please?
On NSW BDM there are, all at Grafton to a John and Elizabeth Chant
7739/1859 (male)
7434/1860 Sarah J
9061/1866 Henry
9919/1868 James
10608/1872 William
11705/1875 Mary Elizabeth
Shame that they are all common names!
Marriage:
2692/1876 Frederick Chant & Mary A Woods at Grafton
Cheers,
John
