Hello Gill
I have an interest in the Milborne Port Chant's
Marriage number 1
George Chant 23 bachelor of Milborne Port, occupation Baker, son of Edward
Chant, baker
married 8.9.1852
Ann Abbott 19 Spinster of Milborne Port, daughter of John Abbot Tradesman.
Both signed their names. Witnessed by Tho (Thomas) Marsh and Samuel Rendall
Marriage number 2
George Chant of full age widower, occupation Grocer of Milborne Port son of
Edward a Labourer
married 14.7.1859
Susannah Rendell fullage Spinster of Milborne Port daughter of James Rendell
Builder
Both signed their names. Witnessed by Charles Russell and Jane Willis.
It must be remember that our ancestors did not have a defined job like many
do today and
the term jack of all trades applied to many pre 1930's workers. So seeing an
ancestor change
occupations is not unusal and it is likely they had a number of different
jobs all at the
same time and the one listed in the records was the one they spent more time
on.
Would appreciate any additional info on this line of Frederick George Chant

Subject: [CHANT] Chants from Milborne Port
Hello Chant listers,
I have just obtained a copy of the birth certificate for Frederick George
Chant, son of George and Ann Elizabeth Chant (formerly Abbott), born at
Milborne Port on 20th September 1856. From the names and date, this
Frederick could be my great grandfather except that his father's occupation
on the birth certificate was a master baker but is given as an agricultural
labourer on Fred's wedding certificate. This is possible but seems
unlikely. Does anyone have any other information that could help?
Alternatively maybe this could help someone else.
Best regards,
Gill Chant
