Hello Sean and listers,
Was this George Chant related to the next on the 1871 census - George Chant
aged 53, born Oborne, living in Oborne? I believe he also lived in London
Road (information from Michael Fraser). His children were (1861) Henry,
William, John, Alfred, Ellen, Lewis and Fred).
Regards,
Gill Chant

Janette and others,
I'll run through the details I have for George CHANT etc. posted earlier
today:
George CHANT b.26/11/1793, bp.21/12/1793 s. of Benjamin (bp.4/4/1764,
d.1/12/1836)and Sarah CHANT (nee LAZENY) m.26/7/1785.
Benjamin is the son of Benjamin (b.?Horsington 1727, d.4/1/1788) and
Martha CHANT (nee CHAPMAN, b.1733, d.4/3/1819) m.4/12/1760.
Benjamin is probably the son of Benjamin CHANT of Henstridge and so
probably can be traced back to the CHANT's of Stowell, Somerset in the
1580's.
George CHANT (above) married Mary LOVELESS of Irewern, Somerset?
-Daughter Sarah was bp.31/10/1830 - no marriage listed.
-Son James was baptised 7/3/1824 and married Hannah GILLINGHAM.
-There was also a second son, Henry bp.21/5/1826 - no further details.
James and Hannah CHANT (above) had 3 children:
-George Frederick CHANT bp.21/10/1855.
-Mary CHANT bp.13/10/1851 - never married.
-Kate / Kitty CHANT bp.31/1/1869 m. 30/4/1895 Charles Frederick EATON
(Policeman) b.1871 Bermondsey, London. No children listed. Father: Henry
EATON, Farmer.
All Oborne unless stated otherwise.
All the above was pieced together with the help of Michael FRASER the
OPC Parish Clerk and by using various records including the
Churchwardens Accounts Book, PR's for 1568 to 1926 and the Census' for
1801, 1841, 1851, 1861, 1881, 1891 & 1901. George has several siblings
and aunts / uncles as well.
