Chant 1700-1800 - Chilthorne Domer, Somerset
There are CHANTs in Chilthorne Domer during this period. They look to have been quite well-to-do farmers so probably are not mine! The village is only a few miles from Stoke-sub-Hamdon, which is my family stamping ground so there could be a connection. One of these CHANTs married a Theophila FAWNE c1874 Stoke-sub-Hamdon and I have both FANE and THORNE in Stoke in my tree so could be a funny spelling of either. Welcome any clues please.

Has anyone any more information, please?
