Will add details that James was born 15 January 1840
on Market Street in Sherborne, Dorset son of George
Chant and Harriet Mintern Chant.
Other details are Father was
George Chant born in 1814 in Dorset to James Chant
and Charlotte (no last name). He was christened
on October 30, 1814 in Haydon, Dorset.
I wonder if James Chant who married Charlotte
Bateman is correct. This sounds familiar but can't
recall from where also was there other siblings as
yet unknown which could confirm line.
Sherbourne parish register Marr 25 Dec 1834 George
Chant signed to Harriet Minterne signed Licence John
Parsons Vicar witnesses Robert Reeves and John Pavit
Oral history from Harriet to one of her daughters
claims 15 children of which only 7 survived to
Adulthood. It is likely upon the death of one child
and the birth of the next that the second child is
given the same name of the dead one. This has been
found to be very common in the past so care on all
Chant lines should be taken. Without death/burial
details of the time you could be listing a dead
Uncle or Aunt as your ancestor.

already knew if I mention
that James Chant's birth certificate has him born 15
