Hello Janette
we seem to be questioning previous assumptions
on past messages which is great.
Could he be William Chant b 1793 son of William Chant and Eleanor Hallett
rather than Robert Chant and Sarah Kellaway?
The following is suggested by Joan Gray on her website.
Mary Chant and Mr Chant had a son Robert born 1700, baptised 23/09/1700 and
buried 1741 married 1721 to Cecily (unknown),
(While many suggest that Mary Chant, Robert's mother was the wife of Thomas
Chant) No father at all was recorded which might suggest
either her unknown husband was deceased or she was a single unwed mother and
could not name the father for social reasons.)
Robert and Cecily CHANT had 9 children.
Brigard (Bridget) baptised 1722 West Chinnock and died before 1732,
John baptised 1724 West Chinnock and died before 1727.
Robert born 1725, baptised 06/02/1725 and was buried we think 01/07/1810,
married 18/10/1750 Chiselborough Elizabeth DAVIS born 03/1727.
John born 1727, baptised 23/09/1727 and died 1782 married Dianna TEMPLEMAN,
Thomas 1730 West Chinnock died before 1735,
Brigard baptised 1732,
Elizabeth (Betty) born 1733 married 12/02/1760 to William PATTEN
18/01/1729 - 01/06/1810,
Thomas born 1735, and William born 1738 married Ann LONG.
Robert and Elizabeth CHANT had 9 children.
George bp. 02/11/1746,
Mary bp. 24/08/1751 died 13.01.1828,
William bp 04/11/1753 died 1755,
Elizabeth bp. 31/03/1755 died 1755,
William bp 10/07/1756 died 27/03/1825 Married 04/12/1779 Elanor Hallett bp
26/12/1758,
Elizabeth bp 1757,
John bp 1759 died 11/1769,
Ann bp 1766
James bp 02/08/1744 died 1853.
William and Elizabeth CHANT had 6 children.
Thomas bp 10/07/1781,
Mary bp 1781,
Elizabeth bp. 1785,
Elanor bp. 25/11/1787 married 29/12/1811 Willliam Langdon,
Robert bp. 1789
William bp 14/04/1793. (We think this is our William Chant but nothing has
been confirmed.)
Elizabeth MALE was baptised on 26 April 1807 in Barrington, Somerset
daughter of Job and Rebecca MALE
who married in Barrington 5 January 1792. Their children were:-
bp 16/04/1792 Edith
bp 23/03/1794 Hugh
bp 04/02/1798 Job buried 11/05/1800
bp 04/02/1798 Isaac buried 1798
bp 22/08/1802 Job
bp 22/08/1802 John
bp 26/04/1807 Elizabeth
bp 04/12/1808 Anne
bp 08/08/1811 Anne
bp 08/09/1811 Phoebe buried 17/01/1813
Job Male married Rebecca Male at Barrington Parish Church on the 5th of
January 1792.
William CHANT and Elizabeth MALE married in Stoke Sub-hampdon, Somerset on
17/07/1831. William and Elizabeth had 5 or maybe 6 children. Jabez, Thomas,
Mary, Anna and Alexander. In the 1841 census there is an Emma Chant age 4
months recorded with the family, but no record of her birth or death can be
found pertaining to this family and she does not appear on the 1851 census.
It is a possibility though that Emma did belong to this family as there is a
rather lengthy gap between Anna and Alexander. There is no baptism records
for Mary or Anna so Emma may have been the younger sister. Maybe time will
reveal something. It is reported on Alexander's "Death Certificate" that
his
father's name was Daniel, and that he was a "Soldier" (Daniel could have
been his middle name. Alexander's family could also be referring to an uncle
or close friend of the family that Alexander spoke of as his father, due to
his father dying when he was only 5 or 6 years old). We also do not know who
recorded this information.
William died, sometime between 1845 and 1851, as it is reported in the 1841
census he was not with Elizabeth and the children but in the 1851 census
Elizabeth is recorded as a widow, aged 44 and born in Barrington, Somerset.
I have since found that when Alexander married, his father is reported as
William CHANT according to the “Digger - South Australian Marriages,
Registrations 1842-1916”
I guess we now have Jane Male that married Christopher Chant as unrelated at
least directly. Maybe Male family name researchers might know
if a connection exists earlier?
Anyone know anything about the William Chant 1847: March Qtr Vol 10 Pg 485?
regards
Michael

Subject: [CHANT] Re William Chant marr.to E'beth Male
Hello everyone,
I was wondering if we ever found out who the parents are of
the William CHANT who married 17.7.1831 in Stoke-sub-Hamden to Elizabeth
MALE born 1807 in Barrington, Somerset. I got into those Rootsweb
archives websites which Sean sent the other day but couldn't see any mention
of this William's actual parents. Is anyone able to help please?.
