Great Question Jacqueline.
It would be very interesting to know if and which Chant person
the Street was named after.
Does anyone know of other places/streets named Chant and who it was named after?
regards
Michael

Hello to all: I'm not sure whether I've asked this question of the list
before. If I have, I apologize for repeating myself.
There is a Chant Street in London, with a Chant Square associated. On a
current online map Chant Street intersects at the point where High Street
meets Broadway (E15, London). The street is very short and it seems to
become Pitchford St as it curves into WestHam Lane.
The Stanford Map of London & Its Suburbs (1st Edition 1862)(website
www.Motco.com) shows Chant Street but not Chant Square. On that map Chant St
runs into a large area called Grant Square and there is no Picthford St or
WestHam Lane. It is very near the Ragged School, Wesleyan Chapel, and
something that looks like Bell Co. The Swann Inn is not far away.
Does anyone know the origin of Chant Street or Chant Square? I'm wondering
whether it might have been named for one of the Chant families who owned
property there at some time. I thought the 1861 census might be helpful -
maybe a Chant family lived there at the time? If anyone has those records
available and can easily look up Chant Street, I would very much like to
know who lived there then (or earlier). Also, does anyone have any ideas
where I might look to find out more about that little street?
Thanks, Jacqueline
