Would appreciate exact details of when ship "Surrey" arrived
in 1875. I am in touch with a descendant of William Benjamin
Chant b 1880 who is seeking further details on his ancestry
as both his father and grandfather died young leaving him
few details about the family.
John we have discussed this line recently re Beechworth etc.
Privacy has been requested which I intend to respect. Not
sure same individual re letter sent.
Am also interested in confirming ancestral Line. According to my
Notes Joseph traces back to Robert Chant b 1739 West Chinnock
son of Elizabeth and the other Robert Chant parentage unknown.
Not Robert Chant b 1700 son of Mary The line James Oswald Chant,
David Chant and many others descend from including yourself.

Michael Cheeseman
4x and 3x great grandson of James Chant 1816-1876 by two sons
3x grandfather Luke Chant and 2x grandfather Richard Chant.
another son, a grandson and a nephew married three Mudford sisters.
Robert Chant b 1700 line.

Unlike you I have Mary married to her cousin James born Sydney 1863 (NSW BDM

Your Amelia may be my Emily despite the difference between us for date.
