Hello Listers,
Found this in an old posting from Linda Collie. Does she still
subscribe ?
Joseph Kingwell Chant, of Bournemouth late of Chancery Lane, Middsx,
died 31/5/1888, left £144 Ex's was wife Mary Chant.
Is anyone connected with Joseph's family ? Has anyone looked at him
through the various census returns etc ? If not it might be worth doing.
Sean
