Hi Janette
I've replied to the message from Christine (Ellis) to claim Henry & Mary
Jane. I thought I had posted my reply to the list so apologies to all.
I can confirm all your information, except that Harry (my gt grandfather)
born 15 Oct 1849 started life as Harry and not Henry, and the village is
Chilcomb, Nr Winchester Hants. Also I have George CHANT and Margaret
(EDWARDS?), not Mary, as parents of Mary CHANT baptised 14 Feb 1810 East
Tytherley, Hants.(IGI)
I did ask about bastardy orders for Upham at the Hampshire Records Office,
Winchester but none were available, so we cannot confirm the father of Henry
baptised 15 Feb 1829 in Upham.
Christine has kindly given me the 1861 census details for Henry and Mary
Jane (BULPITT) living in 13 Spring Gardens, Southover, Lewes, Sussex.
Henry's occupation is given as Fireman on Steam Boat. In 1881 he is Second
Engineer (South Western Railways) so he progressed onto the footplate after
1861. My gt grandfather Harry was a Steam Crane Driver in both 1881 & 1891
(courtesy of Sean).
Henry died in Denton, Newhaven 4 Dec 1886 and Mary Jane 11 Feb 1888
(courtesy of Christine)
I have yet to research all their children but will post the results in due
course.
Many thanks again to all the listers that have helped me ~ Seasonal
Greetings to all and your families
Chris (Clanfield, Hants UK)

Subject: [CHANT] Henry 1829 & Mary Jane
Hello to Christine & others,
It's Janette here from Oz. Henry Chant born 1829 Hamps & wife
Mary Jane. It's not my line but here's what I've got in my un-matched
Chants folders. Perhaps someone might find a connection.
# Mary Chant was chris.14.2.1810 in East Tytherley, Hamps. Her father was
George born 1763 Wiltshire & mother Mary. Andy Chant might know where
George comes from.
# Mary Chant had Henry born 15.2.1829 in Upham, Hamps before she married
James BLAKE 5.4.1831 in Fisherton Anger, Wiltshire. Perhaps he was the
father of Henry.
# James & Mary had Ann c1831 born Tytherley, Hampshire.
# Henry born 1829 in Upham, Hampshire married 14.8.1848 in Romsey,
Hampshire to Mary Jane BULPITT (was BULLPET) on birth certificate..father
was James Bulpitt.
Henry & Mary Jane had a Henry (Harry) born 15.10.1849 in Chalcomb near
Winchester, Hamps.
I looked up these place names on the UK Atlas I've got (4miles to 1")
to see where they were. Sussex is just the next county over so they didn't
move far.
Regards,
Janette in Oz
