Hello Michael and all,
I have been able to pick up the trail on my Chant's that left Stoke sub
Hamdon, Somerset and put some roots down in first, Barnsley, then married
into Worsborough residents, then grandparents who lived and married in
Monchton Maine, Felkirk Parish, Yorshire. These are in West Riding as yours
are. I can even bring them across the ocean on a boat with a name and have
them buried in upstate New York. What I cannot do is find a birth
registration for Grandma Chant (Mary Kathrine WILLIAMS) anywhere. And let me
tell you I have really searched and have sent for the records and exhausted
all my avenues.
I was in contact with a gentleman, a Mr. Richard Watson, from Brierley,
Barnsley, So. York who finally helped me locate Monchton Maine. This could
not have been where Grandma Chant was born as it was not in existence in
1886! So there you are. I am blocked. Mr. Watson did give me a couple of
places to look again which could help.
The Chant's are my husband's people but I am really trying to do this line
and find his grandmother's people (WILLIAMS). This is his line as far as I
can document:
