Hello John,
I have found the Ralph Chant you located on the US 1880 census:
Name: Ralph Chant
Arrival Date: 24 Feb 1873
Age: 1859
Gender: Male
Port of Departure: Bristol, England
Destination: United States of America
Place of Origin: England
Ship Name: Great Western
Port of Arrival: New York
The ship's manifest also lists the brother George Chant on it aged 12,
Ralph is 14. They are with the Weare family as they are on the 1880
census.
I will have a look for them on later US census.
As for the Ralph Chant of Hartford, Connec, seems like he definately
arrived 1887. I will look him up on the earlier English census.
Regards,
Sean
