Hello Andy
How are the Oborne Chant's of Benjamin and Martha Chant
connected to the Stowell lines. What evidence is there for that?
What supporting information links the Chant line from
Henstridge you mentioned to Stowell?
regards
Michael Cheeseman

Subject: Re: [CHANT] Re Joseph Chant 30 in 1891 census.
Janette,
There's a William CHANT born Henstridge 1825, I have a note that he was
living 1851 with a Mary CHANT his wife in Purse Caudle, Dorset.
William's parents were: John CHANT (1799-?) & Martha ADLAM (1794-1840)
John's parents were: Benjamin CHANT (1770-1844) & Christian GUY
(1771-1830)
Benjamin's parents were: Henry CHANT (1745-1820) & Elizabeth SIMES
(1749-1842)
Henry's parents were: Benjamin CHANT (1686-?) & Martha ? (?-1781)
Benjamin's parents were: John CHANT (1655-?) & Maria RAWLES (?-?)
John's parents were: Gregory CHANT (1612-?) & Ursela CHEPMAN (?-?)
Gregory's parents were: Richard CHANT & Mary LLOYD or LODGE
Richard's parents were: William CHANT (?-1597) & Edith (?-1601)
John and Benjamin are both born Henstridge, the rest are Stowell,
Somerset. Henry and Elizabeth SIMES married in Henstridge. The Stowell PR's
start around 1585 so that's as far back as we can go (I paid resercher to
check the Stowell and Henstridge PR's and I now believe my family joins this
tree). Around 1600 there are 5 CHANT lines in Stowell which is a very small
village or hamlet so it's likely they are all related. One of the other
Wiltshire / Hampshire lines plus one of the Oborne/ Sherborne and Marnhull
lines can also traced back to Stowell.

Hello everyone,
I've been going back over past correspondence & rechecking. Back in January
2004 Sean Chant sent an email re the 1891 census for Blandford, Dorset.
Joseph Chant, Head aged 30, railway porter, born Milborne Port, Somerset &
wife Eliza aged 30 born Holwell, Dorset.
The query was who were Joseph's parents?
-------------------------
At 1881 census he was Ag Lab aged 20 working at Coal dealers
as follows.... Henry Hooper 70 born Templecombe, Somerset.
wife Hannah 78 born Horsington, Somerset were at a house at the Coal yard in
Temple Coombe, Somerset.
----------------------------
The query was has anyone found him on the 1901 census.
Well in my unmatched file for Milborne Port I've got that in 1901 he was a
Railway Brakesman at Twerton, Somerset.
The query was who were Joseph's parents.
I decided to look in places near Milborne Port for his birth & in my
Henstridge un-matched file I found a Joe 7 months old as at the 1861 census
born Milborne Port, Somerset.
Here's the family I have an un-matched sheet for.
William born c1826 Henstridge, Somerset
Mary (wife) born c1826 Henstridge, Somerset
& children Hannah born 1850, Henstridge, (glover in 1861)
Thomas born 1852 Milborne Port, John born c1854 Milborne Port,
Mary J. born c1859 Milborne Port & Joe 7 months old at 1861 census born
Milborne Port.
Does anyone know the parents of William Chant born c1826 Henstridge please ?
Regards,
Janette in Oz
