It would be interesting to know how he died so thank you for that Marie.

I am baffled as to why he went to South Africa in the first place.

Me again.

I wonder if anyone can please provide me with further information regarding Thomas Jasper Chandler.

Thomas Jasper Chandler born 1864 Southampton, Hampshire.

The son of the above Millicent Johnson and her first husband William Chandler.

I have all information up to the 1881 census.

Thomas married in 1885

Inferred County:Hampshire
Volume:2b

Millicent is with her Grandmother Millicent Johnson on the 1891 census.(Posted earlier by Gins) Incorrectly transcribed as Step Daughter (I know all about Millicent)

As far as i can see, there is no 1891 census for Thomas, Anne and daughter Edith.

In 1897 Anne remarries


Marriages Jun 1897 (>99%)
Chandler Annie Jane Southampton 2c 72
WAY Frank Southampton 2c 72

Here she is on the 1901 census

So it would seem then that at some point between 1888 and 1893 Thomas went to South Africa.

Perhaps Thomas died in South Africa? (No death showing on FreeBMD)

I don't have worldwide subs so any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you David.

It's ok.

I have figured out who Millicent Chandler was. She was actually a Granddaughter.

Thank you Gins.

She is listed as 7, stepdaughter

I've sent an email to Ancestry regarding the missing information

Thank you for the link Chris.

Thank you Dea. I can stop looking now!! :-)

They have been missed off Ancestry.

The piece no is 915, folio 45, page 30.

Ancestry have page 29 (up to 207 Radcliffe Rd) and then the next page they have is p 31 which is the beginning of Leyton Rd.

Sorry to bother you again Gins.

Please would you double check the age and relationship of young Millicent Chandler.

Millicent and Sidney married in 1878 so I can't see how she can be a Step Daughter age 7 in 1891.
