Hello to Sean, John & others,
I've been reading e-mails regardine James Chant & Louisa Redward who
married 9.11.1869 in Odcombe & I've got a sheet for them in my un-matched records.
I have that witnesses to their marriage were John Redward & Jane Chant & that her
parents were William Chant & Mary Dollard.
I've got that James chris. 23.1.1881 in Odcombe as at the 1901
census was a marble mason at Brighton, Brighjton.
Walter born 1876 Odcombe is down as born Yeovil in 1901 a compositor living in
Cambridge.
I noted in Sean's e-mail that at the 1891 census James & Louisa & 4 children
were at Wynford Eagle in Dorset & one of their children was a Charity aged 9. In
John's list he has James 1881 married about 1908 to a Charity Mabel Chant born 1882.
Did he marry his sister Charity Chant or is this another Charity ?
By the way I've got a sheet for William Chant & Mary Dollard. He was born
Odcombe & they married 31.7.1831 in Odcombe. Mary was born in Stoke, Somerset & in
1861 she was a glove pointer in Odcombe & head of the house so her husband William
must have died before then. Children I have for Wm & Mary are as follows:---
1. Elizabeth chris.1.1.1832 Odcombe who married Henry Hunt & had a son William. I
have that she was a glove pointer in 1861.
2. Emily chris.23.10.1837 Odcombe.
3. Charles chris.2.2.1840 Odcombe
4. James chris.30.7.1848 Odcombe who marr.Louise Redward in 1869 in Odcombe.
5. Jane born c.1854 Odcombe...she was one of the witnesses to her brother James's
marriage.
Regards,
Janette in Oz.
