Hello Christine,
What a good list to get us thinking. I might try a few on census returns
to see if we can sort them out. I seem to have located the first two:
Marriages Jun 1891
Chant Charles Herbert Brentford 3a 84
Poole Caroline Jane Brentford 3a 84
They are listed on the 1901 census thus:
50, Railway Side, Barnes, Surrey.
Charles Chant, Head, aged 36, decorator, born Putney, Surrey
Caroline Chant, wife aged 33, born Brentford, Middlesex
Charles Chant, son aged 3, born Barnes
Ellen Chant, daughter aged 8 born Barnes.
Clearly then their daughtet Ellen did not marry, and she died aged only
44 yrs old during 1936
On the 1891 census:
Rose Cottages, Barnes
Maria Chant, Head, widowed, aged 65, born Chelsea
Emma Chant, daughter, unmarried, aged 28, domestic servant, born Putney
Charles H Chant, son unmarried, aged 26, decorator, born Putney
On the 1881 census:
Gothic Cottages (wonderful name !), Barnes
William Chant, Head, aged 56, decorator, born Barnes
Maria Chant, wife aged 55, born Barnes
Ellen Chant, daughter, unmarried aged 25, dressmaker, born Putney
Emma Chant, daughter aged 18, house servant, born Putney
Charles H Chant, son aged 16, apprentice painter, born Putney
Lizzie Chant, daughter aged 14, born Putney
On the 1871 census:
2, Berkely Place, Barnes:
William Chant, Head aged 46, painter, born Barnes
Maria Chant, wife aged 45, born Chelsea
William R Chant, son aged 21, unmarried, painter, born Putney
Catherine A Chant, daughter aged 11, born Putney
Emma Chant, daughter aged 8 born Putney
Charles H Chant, son aged 6 born Putney
Lizzie Chant, daughter aged 4 born Putney
So a well established Surrey branch of the name. Anyone have any idea
whose father William Snr was ? It would be good to make some connection
with those branches not from the West Country.
I will have a look at the other names below soonish:
Regards,
Sean
