Hello everyone,
It's Janette here!. On going through some Chant dates I had
written down I've found a slip that says that Thomas Chant who married Joan
Lawence 25.9.1791 in Merriott, was baptised 6.9.1770 in Merriott & that his
parents were a Thomas & Mary. Well, I got into my Reunion file & up popped a
Thomas Chant who married 6.9.1762 in Middle Chinnock to Mary Hallett of
Middle Chinnock & they had a Robert bap.6.10.1765 in Middle Chinnock & a
Thomas bap.6.9.1770 in Merriott. Thomas who marr.1762 was buried 20.12.1775
in All Saints, Merriott. He was baptised 25.6.1738 in West Chinnock & his
parents were Robert Chant & Cicily.
I got onto Sue Osborne's Merriott website & found that Joan Lawrence was
bap.29.3.1771 Merriott & she had 8 siblings. He parents were Robert & Mary
who married .22.9.1766 in Merriott.
So that's one big puzzle solved now.
I got into the Merriott Chants section & have filled in lots of names &
dates that I didn"t have before now.
Regards,
Janette in Oz.
