Hello Listers,
The George Chant below died aged 90 in district of Chard during 1960 may
well be listed on the 1871 census thus at Crewkerne, with other members
of his family:
Ann Chant 28 Middle Chinnock, Somerset, Wife Crewkerne
Anthony Chant 18 Middle Chinnock, Somerset, Son Crewkerne
George Chant 1 Crewkerne, Somerset, Son Crewkerne
John Chant 3 Beaminster, Dorset, Son Crewkerne
Levi Chant 43 West Chinnock, Somerset, Head Crewkerne
Levi Chant 12 West Chinnock, Somerset, Son Crewkerne
Samuel Chant 7 West Chinnock, Somerset, Son Crewkerne
William Chant 14 West Chinnock, Somerset, Son Crewkerne
This is the family on the 1881 census, clearly Levi Snr appears to have
recently died:
Ann CHANT Head W Female 39 West Chinnock, Somerset,
England Washer Woman Out Of Employ

Elder brother William Chant is listed on the 1881 census thus:

On the 1891 census George then aged 21 is living on North St, Crewkerne
with his younger brother Walter, both single, both working as "sail
cloth weavers".
On the 1901 census George was still living on North St, Crewkerne, aged
31 yrs old, still working as a "sail canvas maker", now married to
Annie ? aged 38 born at Crewkerne, with his two sons John aged 7 and
Walter aged 4 both both born Crewkerne.
On the face of it this all tallie. Does anyone have any connections with
George and his family ?
Regards,
Sean

earlier branches ? I have'nt had a chance to look myself, however I
will in the near future:

Many of these will crop up in the 1901 census returns.
