Hi Beryl
my James Chant was born 1795 in East Tytherley, Hampshire. His father was
George Chant. I don't
have any more information on James as he is not a direct ancestor of mine.
If it is the Hampshire Chants you are intersted in I have some more
information on other Chants.
If you are looking for information on the James Chant born abt 1866 from
Stoke sub Hamdon in Somerset he appears in the 1881 England census. It show
his father as Samson Chant, age 47, and his mother as Susan, age 46. They
are shown as living at 14 Lower Street and Samson is a Mason i.e. a
bricklayer or stone worker.
There are a number of other children of Samson and Susan these are :
Elizabeth 21
Hannah 18
Henry 7
Jos 4
Louis 10
Sarah Jane 12
I know nothing more about the Somerset Chants as I have yet to get back far
enough to establish their link with my Chants in Hampshire.
I hope this helps.
