Hello Ishbel
William Chaunt and Alice White are the furtherest back anyone has gone on the Stoke Sub
Hamdom line. Glad to
to see your father did the primary research himself. I am descended from the Chant's
of Sherborne along two branches
and admin the Rootsweb Chant surname email list which your welcome to join. The main
groups of Chant researchers
cover Sherborne, Oborne, Stoke Sub Hamdon, West Chinnock,
Somerton and Hampshire lines. There are about 16 main family's all may come from a
common family in the 13th or 14th century but proving it is another thing. When I started
researching in 79' there were hundreds of broken branches of families but most now
have been united to the 16 families. I would be interested in seeing what research your
father put together on the Stoke lines and hope you join the list to connect with distant
cousin researchers.
regards
Michael Cheeseman
