I'm trying to find the MARRIAGE of a greatgrandfather, William Roberts to Elizabeth
Chant. Also the BIRTH of William Roberts, and anything at all about Elizabeth Chant. Been
trying for a long time now!
We are hoping the marriage certificate would show parents names so we can go back
further.
William Roberts was born abt 1870 in London (St Giles/ St Clements/St Pancras/Camden
area), and we know he worked in the printing trade. We think his mother's maiden name
was Harriet Frost.
We know nothing of Elizabeth Chant before 1891, she is recorded on censuses from 1891
onwards as being born Lambeth/St Pancras. She may have been born abt 1873.
We believe that a daughter Elizabeth Maria was born 4, Morpeth Place, Lambeth in 1890.
A son, George Henry was definitely born in 1905 at 48 Percival Street, Finsbury, and the
certificate says mother's name previously Chant.
Other names of their children (which may give a clue to ancestors names) are Catherine
b.1895, William Edward b.1896, Samuel John b.1899, Sarah Ann b.1902 & John. b.1910.
Any info would be gretly appreciated, we have done so much work on this already and have
got stuck.
