Hello John
We have another member on the List with a Yorkshire Chant line
but was from Somerset earlier.
I have a question how do you link Herbert Chant born August 6, 1876
in Hull, Yorkshire, to JAMES CHANT born September 18, 1854 in the
Union Workhouse, Caistor, Lincolnshire, England. Also missing is
both Herberts parents names and a marriage by the James you listed
to a woman matching to parents for Herbert on his birth certificate?
Your lines appears to hop all over the place as Devon Chant's I
would have thought were connected to those in Wiltshire. Except
with those that where in the Navy, Royal marines or Fisherman.
If you have a Lincolnshire Chant line you are the first to claim that area
that I know of on the list. They have lines tracing back to 1500 there also.
Are you sure you have the movements from county to county right?
Is this order oldest generation to newest below correct. I couldn't follow
it the other way sorry.

PS if this doesnt make sense sorry, I have a nasty Flu like virus
and my headaches and stuffy nose with fever may be confusing me a
bit. This hobby is addictive that's for sure. Even get out of my sickbed to
do family history! <:-))>

Hello! My name is John Chant and I live in Vancouver, B. C., Canada. I have
been trying for some considerable time to construct a family tree. This is,
so far, the only information I have been able to collect concerning my
father's side of the family.
JOHN CHANT (me) was born November 12, 1926 in Hull, Yorkshire, England.
My father was CYRIL REGINALD CHANT born July 30, 1899 in Plymouth, Devon,
England
Cyril's father was HERBERT WILLIAM CHANT born August 6, 1876 in Hull,
Yorkshire, England
Herbert married Cyril's mother Ellen McDermott (a widow formerly Weatherall)
on October 10, 1898 in
Hull, Yorkshire, England
Herbert and Ellen had several other children - James, Wynn, and two
daughters who
emigrated to Australia.
After Ellen's death Herbert married Florence Rowe on April 15, 1909 in
Plymouth, Devon, England
Herbert and Florence had a son Roy
Herbert's father was JAMES CHANT born September 18, 1854 in the Union
Workhouse, Caistor, Lincolnshire, England
JAMES CHANT married Elizabeth Clappison on November 3, 1875 in Hull,
Yorkishire, England
James' father was JOHN CHANT possibly born 1821 in South Kelsey,
Licolnshire, England
John married Caroline Eseler on June 4, 1851 in Grimsby, Lincolnshire,
England
According to John & Caroline's marriage certificate John's father was also
called JOHN CHANT.
I know it's not much but I am hoping that there will be someone out there
who can connect with some of this information and perhaps help me fill in a
few blanks!
Greetings to all the CHANTS.
