Hello ti John,
It's Janette here
**. Our local genealogy society library had microfiches for NSW BDM's . I've
got printouts of them from 1790 to 1844 to 1888 & then 1889-1918 & the last
one I've got is 1919-1945. The printout has births,deaths & marriages all
together & has columns to the right for year of registration & registration
number as well. . I have checked off just about every entry & have them on
file. I have some in my un-matched binder who I don't know the parents of as
yet.
** Thanks for the WWI death information re Percy Chant.in 1915. Re his
parents & family, here's a few extra points you mightn't have. Robert Chant
was born 6.1.1855 South Petherton & chris.2.4.1865 & his wife Elizabeth nee
Follett was born 20.2.1866 South Petherton. Bertie was Albert born c.1892
Sth.Petherton; I have an Emily listed after Bertie but with no birth date.&
then there's Charles c.1894, Percy c.1896, Henry c.1898 & Annie c.1900.
** Re Louis/Lewis born 1846 & wife Martha. In my files I have Lewis
chris.17.5.1847 married 14.7.1866 to Mary Thorne with last child to them a
Joseph born 1875. I have recorded that Mary died in USA. so the marriage in
USA could be a second marriage for :Louis in Virginia in USA. I see a
daughter aged 4 at 1880 census was born to Louis & Martha . Perhaps Mary
died when they got to USA & he married Martha soon after.
I notice that Lewis's brother James born 30.5.1843 married 9.5.1901 in
Tantanoola, South Australia to Elizabeth Annie Allen & they had 7 children.
** Re George 1860 & family on the 1901 census, yes that's the George. I have
that his wife was Sarah nee Strong born 1859 West chinnock to Ann "Nancy"
Strong before she married Joseph Chant. in 1861. I have that Sarah died
16.3.1938 in West chinnock. George & Sarah married 22.9.1883 in West
chinnock. I have that their daughter Hephzibah died 5.5.1970 in West
chinnock & I have
a son Cecil John chris.7.7.1895 possibly a twin to Christina. Perhaps he
died before the 1901 census. I have recorded that George was born 1860 but
was chris..6.9.1863 in West chinnock. His brother James 1865 married 1888 to
Sarah Best & brother William married 31.10.1900 to Eliza Langdon,
Regards,
Janette in Oz.
