Dear Michael
Your direct email to me requested details of Sampson Chant born 1825 in
Odcombe married to a Mary Ann (Cady/Caddy) with a son Frederick for a
descendent researcher.
Had a look at the 1881 census and found Sampson with wife (spelt Marey - but
I have had lots of funny spellings in the 1881 with my families) with 7
children listed including Frederick. Marey was born in Bradford Abbas
Dorset so maybe the marriage took place there as I havent got a note of it
in my Odcombe notes.
Sampson was born to John and Mary Chant and baptised on 5 June 1825.
I have a note from the very pale 1841 Odcombe census for this family of:
John Chant 45
John Chant 21
Edward Chant 18
Sampson Chant 16
Luke Chant 14
John Chant married Mary Rendal 11 September 1815 in Odcombe
Their children are:-
John c 16 Aug 1818
Thomas c 16 April 1820
Edward c 22 June 1823
Sampson c 5 June 1825
Luke c 10 May 1828
Mary c 27 June 1830 (she appears to have married Robert
Pennell in 1853)
Sarah c 1 February 1835
Charles c 1 October 1837
Jesse c 16 October 1839 (died - buried 10 February 1840)
Could you please put me in touch with this researcher if he/she is willing
(are they a subscriber to this list ?)as I think John Senior is probably the
son of John and Betty Chant born in 1792 and therefore the brother of my
ancestor Charles Chant.
Many thanks - in anticipation
