Wiltshire / Re: CHANDLER Family from Devizes
« on: Tuesday 03 January 17 17:06 GMT (UK) »
I came across this thread after googling "CHANDLER Brewer Devizes". I am researching the surname CHANDLER in Wiltshire on behalf of the CHANDLER Family Association. In my possession I have a freebee CD from about 2005 which contained an extract from a Trade Directory for Devizes for 1848 and one entry was for 'Chandler Thos & Son, Malster, Bath Road' - hence the surfing. There were also entries for 'Chandler Jas, Beer retailer, The Brittox'; 'Chandler Hy, Tea dealer, The Brittox' and 'Chandler Wm Esq, The Green'.
DNA testing has shown there are at least 2 separate CHANDLERS families in north Wilts originating from the 14th century. I am part of Family #27, details of which can be found at:

If there are any direct male descendants with the CHANDLER surname that are interested in taking a DNA test to find out which family they come from then please contact the Association, via the link above.
