Dear Joan,
It is great that everything is coming together. I was very interested to
read that Thomas Chant married Lucy Ross. Was that in SA ? The reason I
ask is that I have a Thomas Chant died 1907 at Temora, NSW. He has been
married to Ann Rosamund ? She died at Temora during 1889. There is no
marriage index for Thomas and Ann Rosamund in NSW, so I had assumed they
were married in SA. Thomas's death index does not state his parents,
however says he was 77 yrs old. Our Thomas was born 1833, so the years
do not tally exactly but close enough. I had always assumed that this
was Thomas brother of Alexander. Young and Temora in NSW are reasonably
close together. Do you know of anything regarding Thomas and Lucy's
story and desc. ? I will hold off sending info regarding the Temora
Thomas Chant until I hear back. I do not want to send false or
misleading details to listers. If the Temora Thomas is not the brother
of then where does he it in ? I have been in contact with Thomas's desc.
here in NSW some time ago.
Regards,
Sean Leyland

Dear Michael, Sean and Listers, What a great message. WOW. I had a
lot
of this from many kind listers but not Sean's contribution. Michael
had given me a lot of this preveiously and so had a couple of very nice
lady listers from SA. Just shows what comes to light if we persist in
our searches and messages. I do know that Jabez and Maria came to
South Australia in the ship "China" in 1853. Maybe this is why
Elizabeth bought the rest of the childen out after the deth of her
husband. Thomas married Lucy Russ January 1855 and both came out with
the rest of the family. I will add from the message what I don't have
and then send Micheal and Sean the details and Michael can then see
what is needed to put on the list and what has already been on. Thanks
for the great news everyone.
Regards to you all. Joan
