Hi Beryl
I have nothing on George Chant details wise other than he was arrested at
Esk on the Darling Downs and served three months in Gaol for deserting his
children in 1901. It would seem he was hard up for work and money by 1895
and remained so till 1901 having abandoned his children to children and
family services.
I would appreciate details of the children, grandchildren and descendants if
you have them.
regards
Michael Cheeseman

Subject: [CHANT] George Chant
Hello all....
I am looking for any information on George Chant born 23/6/1859 at Oma
Station, Oben Oben near Bathurst N.S.W.
He was the son of John Chant and Jane Withyman and married Clara Bool,
daughter of Thomas Bool and Letitia Hockey at Dalby in Queensland in 1886.
Clara died 5/6/1896 leaving Edith born 8/1/1887, John Thomas born 18/6/1889
and Arthur born 22/10/1892. The children were fostered out and George Chant
disappeared after 1901.
Any information at all would be helpful, as I would like to pass it on to
one of his living grandchildren.
