Hello Joan
Fellow list member and fountain of knowledge Janette Pfeifer reminded me
about
the line of William Chant born 12.5.1795 Martock,Bower Hinton, Somerset
His parents Janette has as Robert Chant & Sarah Kellaway.
William married 17.7.1831 (in Norton/Stoke sub Hamdon) to Elizabeth Male
born
1810 East Chinnock, Somerset.
children as:--
1. Jabez born 6.5.1832 & chris.30.10.1832 Wesleyan Circuit, South
Petherton. He married 19.7.1852 to Maria Guppy (chris.28.2.1837 Norton
(parents Richard & Sarah)..Jabez & Maria Janette has as having an Edward
28.10.1863 Upper Wakefield, South Australia who married c.1887 Adelaide to a
Hannah Cooley. Jabez & Maria also had a William born 30.8.1855 Adelaide
dist.(I got this info.from the Sth.Aust.births).
2. Tom (Thomas) born 15.9.1833 & chris.11.11.1833 South Petherton Wesleyan
Circuit.
3. Mary Ann born c.1840 a glover in 1851 born Odcombe.
4. Alexander chris.7.12.1845 South Petherton Wesleyan
Going by my previous e-mail Anna M Chant aged 15 sounds like the Mary Ann
above, but I Mary A 17 in 1855 is not a match.
does anyone else have different details for William Chant and Elizabeth
Male?
We haven't got a death date recorded for the father William, perhaps he was
deceased before the family left England. If this is the right couple
Elizabeth Chant
ariiving in 1855 would actually be Elizabeth Chant nee Male.
The Mr and Mrs Chant and three daughters arriving in Soutrh Australia on the
"Octavia" if it's Jabez Chant & wife Maria & 3 female relations of
theirs
it would support that Willoiam is the likely father.
Suggest checking South Petherton and surrounds for other children for
William
and Elizabeth as well as checking what ship Jabez and Maria Chant arrived to
South Australia on. Maybe someone else on the list has additional info,
suggestions
to add?
I will check on Jabez and Maria Chant details with a South Australian
researcher
who checks info for me in the records.
Happy Hunting all
regards
Michael Cheeseman

Thank you Michael, I hadn't given up hope but this information
gives me something to forward to a contact who has done a bit of
searching for me in South Australia. You are forever diligent
for which many many of us are to be forever greatful.
