Hello Sherron,
I am curious about George and his background. I know you have probably
discussed this already on the List, so I apologise beforehand.
I know that he was baptised on 30th October 1813 at Haydon, and the
thought is that he was the son of James Chant and Charlotte Bateman. Is
that still your thoughts Sherron ? If so what is the background on James
Chant and where does he tie into the general scheme of things ?
The other George Chant's of that time that I had where:
i) George Chant bap 11th Jan 1816 son of James and Mary
ii) George Chant bap 29th Nov 1817 son of Samuel and Elizabeth of Oberne
iii) George Chant bap 13th July 1823 son of Charles and Charlotte
Obviously your George and Harriet are these on the 1841 census:
Market St, Sherborne:
George Chant aged 25, carpenter
Harriett Chant aged 25
James Chant aged 1
Do you think that your family ties into the main Sherborne branch ?
Regards,
Sean
