Hi John
There are four known Robert Chant's in that area not two.
Now to really confuse everyone I have
Robert b 1700 West Chinnock son of Mary (no father)
Robert b 1719 Stoke son of Thomas and Mary
Robert b 1725 West Chinnock son of Robert
Robert b 1740 West Chinnock son of Robert
and my feeling is there was another Robert b c 1710
elsewhere later married West Chinnock 1736/7 to an Elizabeth.
Which Robert married who is the million dollar question?
Dear listers I would appreciate updates in RTF (Mac users), word, excel or
Gedcom format on peoples
various lines and also any strays you have.
More Chant researchers are coming out of the wood
work and this will assist linking them in with everyone
and in matching branches to the right family line.
As you can see with the above issue indicates things
are getting complicated.and we are starting to push
hard to make the right matchup's with the various lines.
regards
Michael Cheeseman

Hello Michael,
I too get confused about the Roberts, so much so that a while back I broke a
few of the connections on the tree until I could be more sure who married
whom.
I have Robert 1719, son of Thomas and Mary (Virgin) as born in Middle
Chinnock (no source given as this note was made before I was recording
sources) and baptised 7.8.1719 Chinnock, from the IGI. I have him married to
an Elizabeth, although I am quite prepared to believe this is wrong. It is
something I got from this mailing list, however, and the posting is
somewhere
in the Rootsweb archives.
Robert and Elizabeth had Thomas, Robert, Hannah, Mary, George, Mary, William
Elizabeth, William and Elizabeth.
Susannah Tett at present is attached to no husband on my tree. Chant
children
are shown as Jacob, Mary, Sarah, Susannah, Elizabeth, Sarah, Martha, Robert,
Eleanor, William and Martha.
So what have I got to alter please? Who are the two Thomas and Mary pairs
one
from West Chinnock and one from Stoke-sub-Hamdon each with a son Robert that
I must not confuse one family group with another?
You won't have heard entertainer Bruce Forsyth's game show cry of: 'Good ga
me! Good game!' but I do feel like providing his echo!
Regards,
John
