Hello List,
I think this is one of Janette's families but here are bits mostly from the
Victoria Index:
Alfred Chant 1824-1904 and Elizabeth nee Hunt 1817-1861
begat
George Barrett Chant 4.7.1855 Newtown, Geelong 1926 Armadale, Victoria
married 1877 Geelong, Georgina Deane 1856 - 1939 (S.Yarra) daughter of Alfred
Deane
Begat
George Alfred 1877 Cobden-1949
Charlotte Elizabeth Annie 1879 Cobden (married David Thomas Davies 1907
Cobden)
Deane Stanley 1882 Cobden
Georgina Jessie (Gina) 1885 Terang (married John Henry Bentley 1905 Terang)
Gertrude Victoria 1887 Terang (married Frederick Theodore Voigt 1916)
Dulcie Veronica 1890 Terang (married John Robert Myers Swire 1916)
Enid Gwendolen 1892 Terang (married Frank Andrewartha 1915)
Gilbert Weymouth 1895 Geelong - 1959 Prahan (married Eliza Halliday begat
Bertha Weymouth Chant who died Prahan 1921 and could have been only an
infant)
Keith Barrett 1897 Geelong - 1972 Elsternwick(?) (married Zoe Victoria
Fairbridge 1899-1972 (Prahan) 1920; daughter of George Fairbridge and Sarah
Harriet nee Long)
Do we know of any children or marriage for George or Deane please? Any gaps
or families anyone is able to fill in? This line I have coming from Thomas
and Mary Virgin.
Alfred married Catherine Mansfield, his housekeeper, after Elizabeth's death.
She bore him a further seven children, but for those of you who haven't got
them they must keep for another day. It is horribly hot today for a poor
Englishman, who likes rain. (In moderation!)
Regards,
John
