Dear Beryl,
My wife's grandfather was William Henry CHANT, born January 1872 in Salcombe, Devon.
WH's father was Philip Edwin CHANT, born in March 1835. PE's father John CHANT
was believed (note "believed") to have been born in Marnhull, Dorset in or
around 1786, although I have not yet found any records of that. He was living in
Hallsands, Devon (near Start Point on Start Bay if you can't find it on a map) as a
fisherman according to the 1841 Census.
We (my wife and I) have more information, not all of it backed up by paperwork as yet, so
subject to confirmation. We can let you have it as the picture emerges.
Hope the above slots in to your data.
ATB Stuart
