Hello Listers,
Sorry to see the list dormant. Just repeating my offer from a while
back. If anyone wants look-ups on the 1891 census please ask.
Also look-ups on offer for the US 1870; 1900, 1910, 1920 and 1930 census.
Unlike other lists, this was an active list.
Regards,
Sean
Hi Sean
You will know from my recent exchanges with Andy that I am pursuing gr.grandfather Harry CHANT's origins b. c1848-1850. In the faint hope that he may have entered something different for place of birth and age, perhaps you could find him and his family on the 1891 for me. They were in Newhaven Sussex by then with probably 8 children. ( Wife Jane, children Louise, James, William, Nelson, Harry, Frederick, Ellen [Nellie] and my grandmother Alice Eliza b. May 1889.)
By 1901 they were spread around somewhat, but most of them at 17 & 18 Sefton Terrace, Newhaven which was down by the docks. I understand the area is now under a supermarket carpark! Regards Chris
Hello Listers,
Does anyone have any information on Bessie Chant, daughter of George and Susannah? She was born about 1861 and in 1881 lived with her parents in Milborne Port. Not apparent on the 1891 census. There are two possible marriages in the relevant Wincanton district - March quarter 1883 to either Uriah Banton or Courtenay John Williams or December quarter 1889 to either Frank Butt or William Fooks.
Any information would be very gratefully received.
Best wishes,
Gill Chant
Hallo Joan and Beryl
Beryl you mentioned in your reply to Joan that you had a note of William and
Emma in Odcombe in 1851 - I checked my notes for the 1851 Odcombe census and
cant find a couple by those names - hope that helps in your sorting

Hello Listers,
I just wanted to say a couple of words, seeing that my name was used by
Michael a few days ago. In my opinion the CHANT list is one of the most
vibrant and sharing on the web. No lister has anything to be ashamed
of. Everyone gives their best and everyone is only too willing to
share. It is great to see. Michael works hard as admin, however he has
no right to critisise the way he has. He should be thankful to ALL
listers who have contributed. No one is out for commercial gain here, if
anyone has put info on the web which is not their work, then that is
wrong. However my advice to Michael is lighten up, everyone is on the
same side here.
To prove my point here is a list of Chant people who passed through New
Your Port between 1851 to 1891. Hope they are of some use to someone. I
have further immigration data which i will pass on asap.

Hi Sean,
Thanks for the info regarding immigration records to NY. However my folks
were not on it. Can you offer any advice for further research. My folks should
have arrived on the City of Bristol out of Liverpool on Feb 9 1873 and more a
year later. But I can't find them.
I do understand Michael's point 'tho. All our active researchers but
especially Michael, have put in an amazing amount of work and shared so generously
the information they have found. A single charlatan trying to make a buck is
disturbing at best.
Thanks Again

Hello Joan ...
The only differences I have are as follows:
Joseph CHANT you have born 21/1/1821. I have that as his Christening date.
I have that he married Nancy (Ann) Strong.
William CHANT. I have added his birth date as I only had 1826. However I
have him as married to Emma BULL born 1827 Montacute. I do have a note to
say that the 1851 census said they were at Odcombe. I have also added that
I think she was a BULL, so therefore I may be incorrect.
They were all the children of Robert Chant and Mariah Sarter.

Beryl

Hallo
I wonder if anyone has family connections for some early civil registrations
in Lewisham registration district.
As far as I know the only Chants in the Lewisham district (Sydenham) around
1850-1860 are my Samuel and Emma who moved from Odcombe. There are five
deaths which show up on Free BMD who I think may be their children. Emma
1855, Frederick and Louis 1857, Jane 1858 and Robert Allen 1860. I will of
course try and confirm these but just wanted to check in case anyone else
claimed them as their own.
The other Death I wondered if anyone had claim on as it doesnt appear to fit
in with anything I have on my files and that is the Death of a Samuel in
1868 aged 35 (born abt 1833) in Lewisham registration district. (Definitely
not my Samuel - he died in 1895 aged 70).

Greetings
I have become aware that this list is being used to gather info for
a CD on Chant families. Not just a particular persons family but an
all lines "A Sort of one Name Study" without making people aware that
was their intention. This is not permitted on this list!!! Rootsweb
lists cannot be used to collect info for a database for sale and this is a
breach of it's rules. Especially for a commercial concern such as a CD.
This list is for personnel research purposes not commercial enterprises.
Hence why info posted to these lists doesnt end up on Ancestry.com Website
even though they own Rootsweb. It was how Rootsweb had always been and is
why it is still such a success. If this was common practice thousands of
listers would leave and so would much of the support network collapse that
keeps these lists running behind the scenes as most would be very annoyed.
I am concerned of the recent comments about James Oswald's Book being
databased.
Was his family asked if they approved. This is not a game people.
We are discussing peoples families, parents, grandparent's, great
grandparents
Many are still in other peoples memories. If it is not for your family, or
for
helping them on theirs people can become very annoyed, upset, even angry.
I have had a lot of flack lately from my cousins that they have recently
seen their own names or parents or grandparents names mentioned on the net
and had been told it was coming from me. This actually appears to be coming
from another cousin (I haven't found out who yet)as no one will give me
their
name who has used my name when the complaints started. it has taken alot to
convince people it was not me and some still dont believe me.
This issue can be upsetting for some family members as they have
memories of these people when they were alive and how dare someone do that.
I have had a similar incident on another of my lists recently where family
members started a fued.
If people are sharing with you, make sure it is their data that they are
sharing
and that it is OK to use it for the purpose you intend. If not, you could
find
yourself cut off from additional info (This is a common response by
experienced
researchers and relatives. Many of you experienced researchers will know of
researchers, relatives still alive that no longer share their info because
someone did
not have the courtesy to ask if it was OK to use their info on the net,
passed it
onto the Latter Day Saints pedigree file, IGI without permission, put it in
a
publication - book, website or CD etc etc)
I regard Janette Pfiefer, Andy Chant, Rita, Nita, Sherron Biddle, Allan
Cresswell
and many of you as the people who have put in all the hard effort on their
Chant
family lines. This move by a researcher without making it known what they
were
doing is very disappointing. The research people on this list have done has
cost
them a great deal in time, money and effort. I have always assumed people
intend
to publish their own family history and we were here to help them if we
could
and they us on our own lines if they could. And maybe get a copy of their
book to
appreciate what a great job they had done and read an interesting family
history.
It seems maybe I have been mistaken in that assumption.
I am sure many have shared their research not being aware of the researchers
intentions.
Also posted their research hoping for a bit of help to their research
project on
their family not with the intention to add to someones elses database.
I have recieved many Gedcoms from members and non members and I consider the
data
theirs. I use these to help them further their research if I could by seeing
connections where others do not or with a peice of missing info they dont
have.
This plan that has come to light has made me rethink now on continuing to
try and locate Chant researchers and introduce them to this list if their
family
research is not going to be respected as theirs and that of cousins they may
find
on this list. While I continue to do my admin duties, now my attention will
focus
on my own Chant research. I will still assist people on their direct lines
but will
respect your rights by doing so offlist.
As far as the Sherborne Chant's go I have spent huge amounts on research and
was
hoping to co-publish a book or books with Sean Leyland on our Sherborne
Chant family
lines with Sean who contacted me in 1998 when he was newish to the research
and
I was more advanced.
We decided to work together, Sean on the NSW lines after I sent him some of
the info
on those lines as he was ideally situated to advance the NSW lines
considerably and
I would then concentrate on WA and UK info. My concern now is with a recent
message
about James Oswald Chant's book being transcribed into a database to share
with
anyone and this new development. Though not a copyright breach, (some would
argue
it is) it is a concern to other family history book writers.
It's a subject I often see crop up. These sorts of things can backfire on
compilers.
If a family gets offended by it, information dry's up from them and through
the network
of friends and cousins suddenly no info is forthcoming from the extended
family
and maybe even further afield than that. I have seen it before and no doubt
will
do so again. It's a bit like biting off the hand that feeds you, so please
ask
if it is OK first. If it's not OK, respect your relatives and contacts
wishes.
This is all I have to say on the subject.
Happy Hunting and good Luck with your Chant family research.
regards
Michael Cheeseman

Andy
Many, many thanks for the BLAKE/CHANT link. Before I get too excited I need to prove that my Harry CHANT is son of Henry, step-son of James BLAKE. I have discrepancies in the probably birth year for Harry, and of course, he may have been named Henry at birth, after his father, but then called Harry. (Another trip to Hants Record Office to check again, this time for either name and over 1848 to 1851.)
One minus is that Henry CHANT was a Brickmaker at the time of his marriage in Romsey 1848 (as was step-father James BLAKE) whereas the Henry in Littlehampton, a Second Engineer (SWRailway) in 1881. If he had employment change it must have been soon after his marriage and Harry's birth as the oldest child still at home in 1881 is Annie aged 25, birthplace Brighton. Maybe the family were in Brighton by 1851 which would explain why I couldn't find them in and around Winchester!
One observation on Henry; he was able only to make his mark on the marriage certificate, so the poor chap was both illiterate and illegitimate.
To confirm my earlier e-mail: Gt Grandmother was Jane HENLEY (HENLY on the marriage certificate) b. Petworth Sussex. She was the daughter of John HENLEY and his second wife Eliza. I am indebted to Julie Cheesman for this information who has HENLEYs in her tree. In the 1881 this family were at 'Limbo' Petworth and with them Louise CHANT granddaughter (Harry & Jane's eldest, and sister to my grandmother Alice Eliza).
Thanks again Andy for the input. Regards to all ...Chris
Hello Listers,
I have got a bit further with cousin Jessie. Gale is a common Dorset name and
my Jessie is from another family line, not Rosina's as I thought in my
posting of Christmas Eve 2001.
Jessie Gale was my father's first cousin being his mother's sister's
daughter.
My grandmother Elizabeth Mary Chant nee Stanton 1861-1949 had two sisters and
two brothers. Her youngest sister Emma 1865 married Thomas Gale and Jessie
1892-1974 was their third child.
So if you had her recorded as Rosina's child, sorry but that is what I
believed at the time.
Cheers,
John

> David had a brother Perley Chant and a Sister Olive
This reply has taken a while since your original posting in June 2001.
I have a little more about what I think may be this line now, having found
Perley Chant mentioned on the Internet and having made enquiries of another
family researcher. This is still not my line although it runs through the same
village as mine for a time.
David, Olive and Perley would appear to be the children of Joseph Chant 1880
West Chinnock and Rose nee Priddle. I haven't any information about the date
of Joseph's emigration to Canada but Perley was born in Chantry, Leeds,
Ontario.
Joseph was the son of Benjamin Chant 1859 West Chinnock and Amelia nee Gray
of whom I put some details on the list a few months ago.
Although Perley is an unusual name I have come upon another one also born in
Chantry, 1st August 1892. He was a carpenter whose mother was named Julia so I
hope the information fits in with your Perley rather than this second one.
Cheers,
John
Hello Joan Gray and Chant-L listers
I again remind members to get your facts correct and stop using
others entries on the IGI, Pedigree File and Websites as proof
of family lines. There is much floating about on Chant family
lines that has not been verified by people and newbie researchers
especially are putting up family tree info up on the net that is
inacurate.
Be very careful here as it's an easy trap to fall into.
1 The Stoke Sub Hamdon family of WILLIAM CHAUNT who married
ALICE WHITE in 1584 has no evidence he was born or baptised
at Stoke Sub Hamdon in 1563 or any other year. That is a big
guess based on him beingf 21 when he married. Now eivdence he
was he could just have easily been 50 years old.
2 Robert Chant b 1700 in West Chinnock is not the son of Thomas Chant
of Stoke Sub Hamdon or West Chinnock based on any evidence to date
located. Robert Chant b 1700 is a bastard son of Mary Chant
(NO FATHER IS KNOWN).
JOAN this entry from your website is very WRONG. Please correct it
before another Chant descendant researcher tells me upon contacting
them that it is a fact because they found a family tree or entry on
the web. This was one reason I admin the Chant-L list because when
I started out there was so much incorrect info floating about.
CHANT. Stoke sub Hamden
So far it all starts in the year 1555 with the birth of Agnes CHAUNT in
Stoke sub Hamden, Somerset England. Next came William CHAUNT born in 1563.
Now our family actually descends from William. He married 16/11/1584 Alice
WHITE born 1567 and died 1633 being buried on 06/03/1633. We have so far
found 7 Children to William and Alice. Lionell 1585 - 1595, John 1587 -
1521, Agnes 1594 - 1595, Robert 1595, Jane 1596 - 1597, Mary 1600 and
William born 15/05/1603, baptised 21/05/1603, married 09/09/1629 Edith STONE
born 1607 and died 1667 being buried 01/12/1667.
William and Edith had 5 (found so far) children. Thomas 1630, baptised
24/10/1630 and buried 03/04/1670, married 12/04/1658 Gartheret (Gertrude)
HENDY 1635 - 1665, William 1633 - 1634, William 1635, William 1637 married
Elizabeth POUND or SUGAR, and Jone (no dates found).
Thomas and Gartheret had 3 (found so far) children. John buried 10/03/1661,
Joane born 1662 baptised 10/04/1662, and Thomas born 1665, baptised
15/05/1665 married 01/11/1707 in Middle Chinnock to Mary VIRGIN born c1668.
Thomas and Mary had 5 (found so far) children. Joseph baptised 1686, Robert
born 1700, baptised 23/09/1700 and buried 1741 married 1721 to Cecily
(unknown), Jeremiah baptised 25/07/1703, Ann baptised 1707, and Thomas born
1710 and buried 24/02/1778 married 1739 to Sarah (unknown) 1712
Please correct your website. Your line stars from Robert b 1700 not William
married 1584 to Alice.

Christine,
I think I may have found a connection for you.It looks as though you're connected to the Broad Chalke and Hampshire lines.
I have a James BLAKE of Fisherton Anger, Wilts marries Mary CHANT of East Tytherley, Hants on 05/04/1831 at Fisherton Anger. It looks as though Mary CHANT was baptised 14/02/1810 at East Tytherley the daughter of George CHANT (bpd.1795) and Mary Ann ? - I've got this line back further.
I've no children for James BLAKE and Mary but as she was no longer a CHANT I hadn't pursued that line. If your Henry CHANT was born 1828 (53 on the 1881 Census) he would be a CHANT but his father would be James BLAKE. I hope you're following this!
Presumably Mary BLAKE (nee CHANT) died sometime after her marriage to James BLAKE and he remarried Ann ?
Andy.
P.S. I've only got part of your last E-mail - I think the only thing I'm missing is the maiden name of your gt. grandmother - Janr HEN.....

Do you Yahoo!?

Good morning Michael and fellow Listers especially Andy (we met on Curious Fox.com)
To refresh memories, I joined the list last year so thought it time I reported on the little (very) progress so far.
My great grandfather Harry CHANT states his place of birth as Winchester (Aged 52 in 1901), but my visit to Hampshire Record Office during the summer was not very fruitful. No obvious Harry born in Hampshire around 1848/9. Nor was I able to find him with his family in the 1851 census in and around Winchester (I may have missed some districts).
However, I did locate Harry's marriage to Gt Grandmother Jane HENL(E)Y at Congregational Chapel, Littlehampton, registered in East Preston, Sussex 18 Mar 1877. The copy certificate, recently obtained, confirms both were of Full Age and the groom's father as Henry CHANT, Engineer. This bears out my theory link to the other Littlehampton CHANT family in 1881:
CHANT, Henry Head (53) Birthplace Hampshire (helpful!) Second Engineer (SWR)
Marie Wife (52) Hampshire
Annie Daughter (25) Brighton Sussex
James Son (21) Lewes Sussex
Richard Son (14) Littlehampton Sussex
Tom Son (9) Littlehampton
Annie GrDau (6) Worthing Sussex
Kate GrDau (5) Preston, Sussex
Alfred GrSon (7m) Preston
A possible marriage for Henry CHANT is to Mary Jane BULPITT Romsey 14 Aug 1848. I did peek at the Parish Records for this and Henry gives his father as James BLAKE Brickmaker who was possibly a witness of the same name with an Ann BLAKE (formerly CHANT?) However, if any lister has a previous proven claim here, I will go away to think again!
Regards to All Chris Judd, Clanfield, Hants UK
G'Day
Does anyone have a picture of a "Chant" Coat of Arms
I could look at. If the original family that carried
that Coat of Arms is also known it would be great to
know the details.

Hello David,
Haven't found anything which might suggest your family line I'm afraid. Only
one comment and that is that William 2 shows on the IGI as baptised 1824
rather than 1825 which seems logical in view of the second baptism shown.
Whilst scanning various files I did find a family which may fit in either
with you or with one of our other researchers at some time so am including the
details rather than scrap them.

Hello Listers,
I think I have found this family, or parts of them on the 1891 census:
16, Denmark St, Moss Side (inner suburb of manchester)
Annie Chant, widow aged 66 born Denbighshire, Wales
Thomas Chant, son aged 29 born Manchester, traveller
Annie Chant, daughter in law aged 27 born Ireland
Seems as though Annie's husband had died between 1881 and 1891.
Presumably the eldest child Elizabeth had married between 1881 and
1891. I think I found the daughter Mary Chant also:
90 Platt St, Moss Side
Alice B Credland (?) , Head aged 29 born Manchester, telegraphnist
Mary Chant, visitor aged 33 born Howden, Yorkshire
Hope this helps David.
Regards,
Sean Leyland
