Hello Listers,
Having looked at 'Hugh' in response to Carly's posting I found only one
other. His details from the 1901 census read:
11779451 482632 Chant Hugh 23 London Kent A B 0818/045
...so he was a sailor.
This Hugh is obviously not the same as Carly's but looks as if he belongs to
this household taken from the 1881 census so I'll share what I've looked at in
case it is of use to someone:
Robert S. CHANT Head M Male 31 Yeovil, Somerset, England
Parliamentary Reporter
Annie J. CHANT Wife M Female 33 Ipswich, Suffolk, England
Annie T. HARBEN (CHANT) Step Daur Female 12 Islington, Middlesex,
England Scholar
John CHANT Son Male 6 Yeovil, Somerset, England Scholar
Joseph Y. CHANT Son Male 4 Camberwell, Surrey, England Scholar
Hugh CHANT Son Male 3 Camberwell, Surrey, England
Mary R. CHANT Daur Female 1 Lambeth, Surrey, England
Philip CHANT Son Male 1 m Lambeth, Surrey, England
Elizabeth STOCKWELL Serv W Female 67 Kensington, Middlesex,
England Monthly Nurse
Jane LEGG Serv U Female 24 Pen Hill, Wiltshire, England General
Servant (Domestic)
Matilda FOWLER Serv U Female 16 Stanton Fitzwarren, Wiltshire,
England Nursemaid

I think it is this Hugh who is shown on Free BMD as marrying in Poplar
registration district June 1902 quarter.
I have had a look in Gordon Beavington's transcription of the 1851 Somerset
census for Robert but the only Yeovil possibility is a one month old unnamed
baby boy. Yeovil may mean a wider area than just the town, of course, and I
haven't searched outside.
If anyone knows the family and can fit it in somewhere, please let the rest
of us know, if only for elimination purposes from our own lines.
Thanks,
John
