I am looking for information on the Chaney family of Rochester Kent. William George Chaney was born on the 15th of July 1803 in Rochester and was christened on the 7th August 1803 in the St Margaret parish in Rochester. He was married on the 9th August 1829 at Leysdown on Sea in Kent. In 1846 the growing family were living in Union St, St Gregory, near Canterbury City and WG was a stonemason. He worked on the Canterbury Cathderal for 18 years.
The family left on the “Randolph” from Plymouth for Lyttelton, New Zealand in 1850. WG was married to Sarah Susannah Chaney nee Palmer. They had 9 children between 1828 and 1853. WG came to Christchurch, New Zealand to work on the Cathedral here.
I can't seem to find them on the 1841 census, partly maybe because the census is very hard to read on the sources I have available here in New Zealand. Can anyone help on that?
Also, the various baptisms of the Chaneys appear at St Alphege, St Margarets, Staplegate, the Cathedral and St. Nicholas. I am unfamilar with Kent's geography or baptism practices at that time. Does anyone have a comment on this?
I also have a William Cheney "of Ailsford" in 1724. Where would Ailsford be?
Thank you for any assistance you can offer,
Stuart

Hi Stuart
I can't help with the 1841 look up I'm afraid but do you not have any idea of the address at the time (from children's baptisms perhaps) which would facilitate a look up if somebody were able to do one?
Ailsford would probably be Aylesford nearer Maidstone in the Malling district:
http://www.kent-opc.org.uk/Maps/Registration_Districts/Malling.jpg
With regards to the baptisms, Staplegate is what is known as an "extra parochial" area of Canterbury (see Canterbury district above site) but there isn't a Staplegate church - did they live in Staplegate but get baptised in St Alphege perhaps? I assume you are talking about the St Alphege in Canterbury? This area, is little more than a stone's throw from Canterbury Cathedral.
There is a St Margarets in Canterbury but there are other St Margarets also ie. Rochester. There is not a St Nicholas in Canterbury but there is in Rochester (Medway district - see above site) as well as others The film or other resources for the St Nicholas and all the other baptisms would have told you where the parishes were.
More often than not, children were baptised in the parish in which they were born.
Does this help at all

Hi Jim,
William George's father was Francis Chaney (died 1845) and his mother Sarah Norris. Siblings were Charlotte Ann, James Henry, and Samuel. Chaney in generations prior to Francis were spelt Cheney, Cheyney or Chayney. Other surnames are Woodhead, Barret and Williamson.
All based around Rochester, Kent.
Thanks, Stuart

Hi Goiose,
yes William and Judeth are definately my ancestors. This is what I have;
William Cheney and Judeth Barret married on the 29th of September 1724 at St Nicholas’ Rochester, Kent. William was born around 1704 and came from Ailsford, Kent. William then had another spouse Barbara Smith. They were married on the 4 December 1838 at St Nicholas. William died on the 23 Feb. 1752 at St Nicholas, Rochester. Barbara Smith had previously been married to Richard Eeles. She born around 1720, and died after 1758. She was christened in the Cathedral in Kent.
225 Judeth or Judith Barrett was born on the 17 March 1706. She was christened on the 16th of April 1706 at St Nicholas Church, Rochester, Kent. Her parents were Robert Barret and Susannah Williamson. She died on the 5th July 1738 in Rochester and buried from St Nicholas.
Williams parents were William and Mary Chayney.
Robert Barret and Susannah Williamson were married on the 12th of February 1697 at St Nicholas, Rochester, Kent.
I have the list down to me. It is too long for here. Email me if you would like that (email address removed by moderator - please use the secure Rootschat personal message system to exchange personal email addresses - thankyou) Looking forward to hearing from you!
Cheers,

Kia ora Stuart
I am researching the SIMPSON family. Wilhelmina CHANEY, daughter of William George CHANEY married Andrew SIMPSON, 12 November 1873. Andrew is my gg-uncle.
I'd be interested to know where you fit in to the CHANEY family.

 Your on the right track! William George (b.15 july 1803) had two brothers and a sister - Charlotte Anne (b. 4 Dec 1797), William Thomas (bap. 30 June 1799), Charles Henry (b. 26 sept 1801). Their father was Francis (occ: Porter) (b.18 march 1775) - married at St Nicholas Rochester to Sarah ? in about 1797.
His parents were Thomas Chaney (b. 21 Aug 1735) married to Mary Winfield (a widow) in 7th Aug 1758. Francis had four other siblings as follows;
Mary Anne (b.11 June 1763), Elizabeth Jane (b. 17 Aug 1766), William Thomas (b. 5 Jul 1771), John Edmond (b.31 Aug 1773). We would like more info past Thomas Chaney (1735). If you require information after William George (b.15 Jul 1803 - d.10 Mar 1883) contact us however; if you can find out any more info we would be very interested. My partner is a Chaney from ancestry of the first fleet 'Randolph'.

Hi there,
thanks for the info which confirms the information that I have. I am a descendent of WGC thru his son Randolph and then granddaughter Harriet. I am getting a fair bit of info and it would be good to compare notes. WGC was a stonemason who built a lot of the seawalls around Lyttelton and the Lyteelton gaol. Interesting guy.
