Hi. I read your entry on the Chandler family of Devizes with interest. I am descended from the same family. Robert John Chandler married Dorothy (Jessie) Mason and moved to Tasmania, Australia around 1908. They had 3 children, one of whom, Thomas Raymond was my grandfather. I was interested to hear about Mary Octavia. Did you find out more about how she drowned? I visited Devizes a few years ago and the painting of Robert John's father, Thomas, as Mayor of Devizes which was in the Town Hall, bore a striking resemblance to my brother.
