Hello Listers,
Following on from an old posting a year or so ago by John Chant (a
fragment pasted below), and closely connected with my posting earlier
today:
Ernest Chant of Bridgwater, grandson of Joseph Chant and Maria Criddle,
son of Henry Chant and Jane Mogridge. It is known he migrated to Canada
at some stage after 1901. His son Vivian Chant was KIA in France during
WW1. Ernest's address at that time was Vancouver.
This must be Ernest's death entry:
British Columbia Death Index:

Does anyone have further information on Ernest and family in Canada ?
Regards,
Sean
