Hello Listers,
On the Stoke database there is a Thomas Chant (minor, labourer) son of
William Chant (labourer) who marries Lucy Russ (minor, glover) daughter of
Charles Russ (labourer) at St. Mary's Stoke-sub-Hamdon on 14-1-1855. Does
anyone know his parentage please as I can't fit him in with either William
I've got who had a Thomas?
Were there any children known?
Thanks,
John
Dear John,
Re Thomas Chant who married Lucy Russ 14.1.1855.
In my un-matched file I've got the above marriage. Thomas & Lucy came out
to Australia because I have Henry born 7.9.1855 Salisbury, Sth.Australia,
Albert born 4.2.1859 East Auburn, Sth.Australia & Elizabeth born 10.10.1860
Redruth, South Australia.
The above are from the South Australian birth list.
I thought I'd look in my main file for a birth of a Thomas born in the
1830's with William as a father & guess what!. I found him. William Chant
born 1795 who married 17.7.1831 Stoke sub Hamden to Elizabeth Male ( born
1810) had a Thomas (Tom) born 15.9.1833 & chris.11.11.1833 at South
Petherton Wesleyan Circuit.
So, that's one less sheet in my un-matched file now.
Regards,
Janette.
