Janette and others,
I'll run through the details I have for George CHANT etc. posted earlier today:
George CHANT b.26/11/1793, bp.21/12/1793 s. of Benjamin (bp.4/4/1764, d.1/12/1836)and Sarah CHANT (nee LAZENY) m.26/7/1785.
Benjamin is the son of Benjamin (b.?Horsington 1727, d.4/1/1788) and Martha CHANT (nee CHAPMAN, b.1733, d.4/3/1819) m.4/12/1760.
Benjamin is probably the son of Benjamin CHANT of Henstridge and so probably can be traced back to the CHANT's of Stowell, Somerset in the 1580's.
George CHANT (above) married Mary LOVELESS of Irewern, Somerset?
-Daughter Sarah was bp.31/10/1830 - no marriage listed.
-Son James was baptised 7/3/1824 and married Hannah GILLINGHAM.
-There was also a second son, Henry bp.21/5/1826 - no further details.
James and Hannah CHANT (above) had 3 children:
-George Frederick CHANT bp.21/10/1855.
-Mary CHANT bp.13/10/1851 - never married.
-Kate / Kitty CHANT bp.31/1/1869 m. 30/4/1895 Charles Frederick EATON (Policeman) b.1871 Bermondsey, London. No children listed. Father: Henry EATON, Farmer.
All Oborne unless stated otherwise.
All the above was pieced together with the help of Michael FRASER the OPC Parish Clerk and by using various records including the Churchwardens Accounts Book, PR's for 1568 to 1926 and the Census' for 1801, 1841, 1851, 1861, 1881, 1891 & 1901. George has several siblings and aunts / uncles as well.

Hello Listers,
Michael asked for the following look-up on the 1871 census:
London Rd, Oborne:
James Chant, Head, aged 43, widowed, ag. lab, born Oborne
Next door was:
George Chant, Head, aged 76, retired ag. lab, born Sherborne
Mary Chant, wife aged 75, born Somerset
Sarah Chant, daughter, unmarried, aged 39, born Oborne
Catherine Chant, grandaughter, aged 2 born Oborne.
It looks as if James above might be the son of George and Mary.
Michael I will do a trawl through the other census data for further
information on above later tonight.
Regards,
Sean

Hello Listers,
Michael asked me to look up Edward Chant from the 1871 census:
Parkside, Gayton Lodge, Wandsworth:
George H Holland, head, aged 54, fundholder, born Hackney, Middlesex
Charlotte Holland, wife aged 52, born Hammersmith
Ann Holland, daughter aged 26, unmarried, born Ross, Herefordshire
Laurence Holland, son aged 20, commercial clerk, born Staffordshire
Amy Holland, daughter aged 18, born Warwickshire
Spencer Holland, son aged 15, born Warwickshire
Edward Chant, servant, aged 28, coachman, born Sherborne, Dorset.
There are at least six other 'servants' working for the Holland family,
none of which appear to have any connections with Edward.
Michael you will recall we have discussed Edward a couple of times in
past postings. He was the son of Noah Chant and Eliza Slade of
Sherborne, therefore one your branches.
Just to remind you what of my previous research on Edward:
1. On the 1851 census
Sherborne:
Noah Chant: 40
Eliza Chant: 41 (born Donyatt, Somerset: some 30 kilometres west of
Sherborne)
Robert Chant: 17
Vivian Chant: 15
Wilfred Chant: 12
Horace Noah: 11
Emily Chant; 9
Eliza Chant: 8
Edward Chant: 6
Henry Chant: 1
2: On the 1881 census at Reigate Rd, Reigate Foreign, Surrey working as
a domestic servant.
-Edward Chant Head: 38 born Sherborne
-Sarah Chant: wife: 22 born Perry, Hampshire
-Emma Chant; daughter 9 born Buntingford, Hereford
-Alice M Chant: daughter 7 born Pimlico, Middlesex
-Edward Chant: son 1 male born Pimlico, Middlesex
The age of Edward's wife Sarah at 22 is a worry given the age of the
eldest daughter Emma at 9. Perhaps the daughter's ages were wrongly
transcribed ? At this stage I don't have a marriage date or index for
Edward and Sarah. The 1891 census does shed more light on the family,
although also confirms Sarah's age.
3: The 1891 census: at 13, Colbeck Mews, Kensington
-Edward Chant 45 born Sherborne, coachman and domestic service
-Sarah Chant 32 born Perrey, Hampshire
-Edward Chant 11, son born Pimlico
-Joseph Chant 9 son born Perrey, Hants
-Ellen Chant 7 daughter born Reigate, Surrey
-Henry Chant 6 son born Reigate, Surrey
-Daniel Chant 5 son born South Kensington
-Edith Chant 2 daughter born South Kensington
Interestingly the two eldest daughters listed on the 1881 census Emma
and Alice are missing from the 1891 census. Did they die before the 1891
census was taken ? It is possible that Emma, by then aged 19 may have
married although Alice would have been only 17. Given the fact that
Edward's wife was only 22 in 1881, the ages of the daughters is suspect.
4: You may recall that there was a problem of locating the family on the
1901 census. Eventually they surfaced with a few slight mistakes in
their details, they had also by then beginning to disperse as a unit.
Edward had departed London and taken as a publican, also by his age
"grown a little younger". The fact that he gives Yeovil as his
birthplace threw me initially. However there is no doubt it is him as
the rest of the family are also there.
1901 census:
Anchor Public House at the village of Duloe, North Bedfordshire:
Edward Chant aged 49 born Yeovil, publican and groom
Sarah Chant aged 42 born Gt Staughton, Hants, assisting in Public House
Henry Chant aged 17 born Reigate, bricklayer
Ellen Chan aged 15 born Reigate, assisting in Public House
David Chant aged 13 born Kensington, London, ordinary farm worker
Joseph Elliot, lodger aged 24 born Duloe
As you can see Edward aged only 4 years between 1891 and 1901
I also found Edward Chant Jnr living with his sister Alice Chant (listed
above on the 1881 census as being 7 yrs old. You will recall she was
not found on the 1891 census)
38 Peacock Street, Newington, London
Henry Hoare aged 30 born Westminster, newsagents assistant
Alice Hoare aged 27 born Pimlico
Alice Hoare, daughter aged 3 born Lambeth
Edward Chant aged 21 born Piccadilly, Cab Driver
As yet I have not found Emily Chant, daughter of Edward, listed on the
1891 census above at Reigate. She may well have married by then.
Anyone with connections with Edward's family at Duloe, Bedfordshire ?
Regards,
Sean

Hello Sean: Thank you for taking the time to transcribe this information
to the list.
I think the following listing might be Fanny Jessie Louise Chant, b
1856.
Fanny J Chant 14 London, Middlesex, England Pupil
Ipswich St Helen Suffolk
Fanny Jessie Louise is not listed in the 1871 census entry with her
mother and siblings in Middlesex (thanks again for sending that as
well), so she was likely either away at school or staying with relatives
when the census was taken.
If no one else identifies the above Fanny J Chant as part of another
line, I think she is likely the eldest daughter of the Middlesex family.
If her sister (MaryAnn aged 12) turns up at the same school in the 1871
census it would be pretty much a certainty, I would think.
Is the name of the school provided on the listing you have? If not, is
there a way to order the full listing?
Regards, Jacqueline Douglas
Hello noticed the following at the bottom of Sean's list.
"George Chant 20 Homsen, Yorkshire, England Boarder Holy
Trinity Yorkshire "
The birthplace was interesting as I have traced my Chant line back to
Howden, Yorkshire, there is no "Homsen" in Yorkshire (at the moment) so I
assume that this was a spelling mistake and it could be Howden.
This George Chant was living with the Grantham family and was a bricklayer,
also 3 of the Grantham's were bricklayers.
I cannot find this George in 1881 but have found him on the 1891 census
living at 8 Henry St Battersea London.
He is now married (Mary age 38 born Yorkshire, Hull) with 4 children, Ada
age 13, George age 11 (both born Yorkshire, Hull), Anne Marie age 7 and
Lilly age 1 (both born Battersea, Surrey).
It is interesting that his birthplace has also changed to Yorkshire, Hull.
Does anyone have this George Chant in their tree or do they have any further
details, he may be linked to my own Chant line.
Regards
David Chant

Hallo Sean
You havent listed him yet but I will claim Charles aged 52 Cordwainer in St
Pancras born Adcombe(Odcombe) - he is my Great Great Uncle.
But I would interested to know if anyone can put claim to :-
Charles Chant aged 32 in Saffron Hill (Finsbury) born London
with wife Maria aged 32 and children Charles 10 Nannie 8 and Ralph 4 (all
also born London)
I am wondering if Charles aged 32 is a possible candidate for the son of
Charles aged 52. I
have a Charles listed as aged 9 in the 1851 census born in London and
staying with my Great Great Grandfather, Samuel, brother of Charles.
If anyone knows anything more about the younger Charles would love to know,
even if it is to eliminate him from my search.

Hello Listers,
Michael requested a look up for Alfred Chant, aged 27 of St Albans on
the 1871 census:
Alfred Chant, aged 27 of St Albans was living at High Street, occupation
tobaccanist. His elder brother, John Chant aged 30 also there born
Sherborne. Alfred's wife Martha there, born Norfolk. Interestingly also
a servant, Jane Chant there born Oborne aged 17. Not sure who she is at
present.
You will recall from previous postings that Alfred and John are also
listed at St Albans on the 1881, 1891 and 1910 census. From those it is
apparent that there are no descendents. You will recall that it is
believed that Alfred and John are sons of George Chant born 1816 at
Sherborne. George was the son of James Chant and Mary Cevil of Sherborne.
Regards,
Sean

Hello Listers,
Hello strangers. Let us see if we can get this once vibrant list up and
going again. I now have access to about 40% of the 1871 census, with
more on the way. I thought i would post what I have to date, about 430
names. I will it in stages. If anyone wants any further research on
these names let me know. Unfortunately i do not have access to the Chant
heartland of Somerset yet.

Hello
My name is Prudence Smith nee Brown, living in Mount Barker, South Australia. I am a granddaughter of Alfred Chant, born 1 July 1862, who was the son of Joel Chant and Phyllis Gard. Michael you suggested that he was named Alford but I have a copy of his birth certificate and the spelling is definitely Alfred. He came to Victoria, Australia in 1882 to stay with his older brother Lewis and later came to South Australia. He married Ethel Marchant Morrison on 9th April 1898. My mother Lily is one of their many children. I have only recently become interested in my family history and through the help of Janette Pfeifer and John Chant I have far more information than I would have expected. I am employed, only recently reducing hours to 4 days a week, but I am finding time is the problem organising family material. I would still like information about some of Alfred's siblings, but know a little of his sister Angelina. If I can be of any help to anyone please let me know.
Regards
Prue Smith

Hello listers,
Just a note to confirm, as far as I can, that Fred Chant of Oborne, Dorset, son of George, was my g-grandfather. My original number one suspect, Frederick George, son of George the baker in Milborne Port, died in infancy (Free BMD) and it's unlikely there would be a third Fred son of George born in 1856/7 in the same area.
From Andrew Chant, via the Parish Clerk at Oborne, I am told that George was born on 27.11.1816, baptised 29.11.1816, married Ann Babstock 17.10.1841. George's father was Samuel Chant, labourer.
Does this tie up with any other lines?
Fred had brothers and sister:
Henry Chant 1843, Oborne, Ag Lab married Fanny
William Chant, 1845, Oborne, Ag Lab, carter, married Lucy Dewfall
John Chant, 1847, Oborne, Ag Lab, married Maria Hull
Alfred Chant, 1849, Oborne, Ag Lab, married Martha
Ellen Chant, 1851, Oborne, married William Stacey.
Lewis (Louis) Chant, 1853, Oborne, hostler, married Lucy Franks then Harriet
Best regards,
Gill
