Hi Beryl, Janette & others,
I believe there has been a misunderstanding as there were apparently two
Henry Chants in South Australia around the same period.
I have found CHANT Henry 25 y, single (f Thomas CHANT) married 18 Apr 1881
ADDICOAT Mary Jane 25 y, single (f William ADDICOAT) at Res. of William
Addicoat, Kooringa dist Bur
Henry CHANT 67 y, married of Southwark died 22 Aug 1923 at Adelaide
Mary Jane CHANT 73 y, widow of Southwark died 20 Mar 1930 at Southwark dist
Hin
They had the children as listed by Janette.
William Henry CHANT 55y, single (f Henry CHANT) married 29 May 1937 DAVEY
Mary Evelyn 49 y, single (f Joseph DAVEY) at res. of Joseph Davey, Croydon
Park, dist Hin
William Henry CHANT died aged 84 y, a widower, of Southwark on 17 Nov 1966
at Southwark dist Hin
Mary Evelyn CHANT died aged 56 y, married, of Southwark on 19 Sep 1943 at
Adelaide, rel William Henry CHANT (H)
Ethel Jane May CHANT 3 m 1 w of Mile End died 24 Apr 1887 at Mile End, rel
Henry CHANT (F) dist Ade
Frank Ellis Gladstone CHANT 3 y of Southwark died 4 Mar 1902 at Southwark,
rel Henry CHANT (F) dist Hin
Ruby Chloride CHANT 22 y, single (f Henry CHANT) married 4 Nov 1912 HILL
Harold Sidney Bromley 22 y, single (f Frederick Edward BROMLEY) AT Baptist
Church, Southwark, dist Hin
Harold Sidney Bromley HILL 29 y, married of Southwark died 6 Mar 1919 at
Adelaide
(Will check further to see if Ruby remarried as have not as yet located
details of her death).
Joseph Victor Roy CHANT 58 y, married of Woodville North died 5 Aug 1951 at
Adelaide
(Will check further for details of his marriage)
My reason for saying there are two Henry Chants is that I have found details
of five children born to Henry Chant and Susan Vincent - the first born in
1858 which is a little early for a Henry born in 1855!
Eliza CHANT born 30 Jan 1858 Port Adelaide dist Ade par Henry CHANT and
Susan VINCENT
Arabella CHANT born 11 May 1860 Lefevre Peninsula dist Ade par Henry CHANT
and Susan VINCENT
Anne CHANT born 2 Aug 1863 Port MacDonnell dist Gre par Henry CHANT and
Susan VINCENT
Sarah Mary Agnes Vincent Wakem CHANT born 5 Dec 1872 Port MacDonnell dist
Gre par Henry CHANT and Susan VINCENT
Richard CHANT born 28 Oct 1869 Port MacDonnell dist Gre par Henry CHANT and
Susan VINCENT
Susan CHANT 70 y of Birkenhead died 2 Oct 1897 at Birkenhead rel Henry CHANT
(H) dist Pt Ade
Henry CHANT 92 y, married of Birkenhead died 26 Jun 1917 at Port Augusta
dist Fro rel E E ELLIS (grandson) - appears he may have remarried
In a Biographical Index of South Australians 1836-885 I found some other
information, which could help, but have no way of knowing if it is correct.
It had CHANT, Henry (with father named as Thomas Edwin) born 1825 in
Salcombe Devon Eng and died 26 Jun 1917 at Port Augusta. He arrived in 1854
on WILLIAM PROWSE and occupation was carpenter, timber licensee and boat
builder. He resided at Redruth, Port Adelaide, Port MacDonnell and Port
Augusta. Religion C/E. Married by 1854 Eng? Susan nee VINCENT/WAKEHAM b
c1829. Children were Emma (c1853-), Sarah Mary Agnes Vincent Wakeham
SHIRLEY, Arabella ELLIS and others.
Hope this helps clarify things and let me know if you need any more help
with South Australian Chants.
Regards,
Prue Smith

Hello Beryl,
Re Henry Chant born 1855 Salisbury South Australia.
I haven't got a marriage listed for him to Sara but I know he and a Sara
VINCENT had a daughter Lizzie Vincent CHANT born c1868 in Adelaide, South
Australia...they possibly weren't married...as you say he was only 13. I
have a copy of the marriage certificate of Lizzie Vincent CHANT aged on
23.5.1890 in St.George's Church, Carlton, Victoria to Michael William Mc
Namara who was a tailor. It has Lizzie's parents listed as Henry Chant a
boatbuilder & Sara Vincent.
I also have this Henry & a Mary Jane ADDICOAT &
children but no
marriage recorded. The children I have are as follows:---
1) William Henry born 24.1.1882 Islington, South Australia
2) Ethel Jane May born 5.1.1884 Kooringa, South Australia
3) Ruby Chloride born 12.9.1890 Adelaide, South Australia
4) Joseph Victor Roy born 16.7.1893 Adelaide, South Australia
5) Frank Ellis Gladstone born 29.5.1898 Mile End, Sth.Aust.
---------------------------------------
Henry's parents were Thomas (Tom) CHANT 1833-1907 & Lucy RUSS 1836---.
