Hi listmembers,
I am new to this group and have been studying for many years the parish
records of West Chinnock, Chiselborough and Norton sub Hamdon, Somerset,
England for my husband's Gard and Salisbury ancestors. Now I'm ready to
tackle his CHANT connections.
Can anyone help me with the parentage of JOSEPH CHANT born 1769 West
Chinnock? He married Hannah Gard 1809 in Chiselborough.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Hello Dorothy....
Joseph Chant's parents were John Chant 1727/1782 West Chinnock (his parents
were Robert and Sisterly/Cecily) and Dianah Templeman b 1723 West Chinnock
and died Feb and buried 18/2/1801 St. Marys, Stoke Sub Hamdon, Somerset.
(Her parents were George and Ann) They had eleven children and Joseph was
number nine.
My line is from the Robert and Sistely/Cecily Chants.
I have lots more information and will pass on anything you require.
I do not have anything on Hannah though except that she was born in West
Chinnock and they had four children - Rebecca 5/5/1816 died 15/9/1863 and
Joseph, Samuel and David (no information other that this).
I would appreciate anything you could give me.
Thank you
