Hello Michael,
Is it your belief that Bert Chant travelled to Western Australia with
his father and step-mother in 1896 ? As I said I have been told this
by a number of descendents. He may well have travelled back with his
uncle Luke and brother Percy during the early years of the 20th
century. Unlke his brother Percy he would have been too young to turn
up on the early electoral rolls, therefore making it difficult to
gain documentary evidence to his precise location for the years 1901
to 1910.
Regards,
Sean

Hello Michael,
In my notes on Bert Chant there is a suggestion that he did in fact
travel with his father to WA, however later returned to NSW to live
with his uncle William. Does this tally with your take on the family ?
I know that there exists correspondence between Percy Chant, Bert's
brother and the Dubbo mob.
Whether or not John Chant travelled with his uncles Richard and Luke
to WA in 1896 remains unknown still. Certainly there appears to be no
contact at between the two families after 1896, suggesting they were
separate ventures.
I have no great problem with the "reply to address". Just thought I
would mention it as it does not occur with other Lists. However
funnily enough it worked well on this occasion.
Regards,
Sean
