Here is what I have been able to learn regarding my Chandler roots.
info@boardreader.comYour Priscilla (born abt 1836, christened 12/16/1839) appears to have been the sister of my GGGrandfather Samuel Spalding. Both were children of Henry Chandler (born abt 1797, died 1877) and Jane Spalding (born abt 1811 and died abt 1896, and from whom my GGGrandfather received his middle name). There were a few other siblings as well, as can be seen below.
My GGGrandfather served with the 16th (Bedfordshire) Regiment of Foot, and had been sent to Canada during the Fenian uprisings. I guess that he liked Canada so much that, when he was discharged, he returned with wife Anne (Kelly) and children in tow – settling first in Montreal, then Ottawa – from where all my most recent , and many current, relatives hail!
M: Samuel Spalding CHANDLER, M
Birth: 1829 Framlingham near Ipswich, England
Death: Jun 4, 1915 Ottawa, Ont. Age: 86
Burial: Beachwood Cemetery, Ottawa,Canada
Christen: May 17, 1829 Wingfield, Suffolk, England
Notes for Samuel Spalding (Child 1)
-Enlisted in 16th Bedfordshire Regiment in 1847 -Took his discharge in London, England in 1869 -Came to Ottawa, Ontario in 1873
Incidentally, I am the only Chandler of the line born in the United States (New York City 1954) – my dad became a US citizen and my mom always remained a Canadian!
I copied the below data from some off-link regarding the Gordon/Humble Family tree. I don’t know where they fit, but it seems that Dorothea Chandler may have been one or the other.
Hope this helps!
