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.
