Hello Listers,
Another family to trace please.
From the 1881 census on line
86 Culford Road London
CHANT
Richard 45 head Stoke Subham Glove(?) cutter
Sarah Ann 47 wife Stoke Subham
Martha J 25 daur Stoke Subham Dressmaker
Lavina 21 daur Yeovil Warehouse Assistant F Lab
Charles A 16 son Islington Middx Office Boy
Florence A 11 daur Hackney Middx Scholar
George W 8 son Hackney Middx Scholar
On the 1901 this looks like the same family in Hackney
10155945 Sarah 67 Somerset Stoke
10155946 Martha 45 Somerset Stoke, Dressmaker
10155947 Charles 36 London Islington, House Decorator
10155948 Florence 30 London Hackney, Dressmaker
10155949 George 27 London Hackney, Mechanical Engineer
There is no 65 year old Richard listed
Of course I am still looking for the children of Job Chant and Martha nee
Gaylard. Could this be Richard? The censuses would seem to preclude it but
where has this Richard come from? Has his age been misquoted by a couple of
years? The 1841 census will have rounded his age to 5 years so that is not
much help. He was born, according to St Mary's records 4 11 1834 and appears
as a 16 year old in the 1851 census which would seem to stop this being he.
Is anyone able to help with this mystery couple please?
Cheers,
John
