Stuart I have been searching for an ancestor Richard Chant.
Came across Richard who married Christian Youlden in Brixham Devon in 1773 and can find no
other record. The history of Newfoundland tells of Devon fishermen from villages such as
Brixham who went from annual voyages to taking their families and settling in Newfoundland
either on a temporary or permanent basis. Occurred a lot in second half of 18th Century
Probably doesnt help my Chants who ended up moving from Sherborne to New Zealand.
Would like to share any info you may have.
