After replying to JFCHANT I've just seen the reply from gncellis.
Gncellis - Your information on Sarah Chant marrying Charles Wilmot sheds a fair bit of
light on the origin of the Chant name in our records. We have the birth certificate for
George Henry born 1905 to William and Elizabeth Roberts, where it shows her name as
Elizabeth Roberts formerly Chant. Possibly it was a misunderstanding - the birth was
registered by William, and he may have given Elizabeth's mother's maiden name of
Chant rather than Willmot. As you suggest, I think I'll spend a tiny bit of cash on
another child's certificate, just our of curiosity.
Thanks to both for your replies.
