Hi Stuart, I'm new to all this but am very interested to learn more about my ancestors and their stories and I've thoroughly enjoyed reading everyone's posts.  I'm Randolph Chaney's G.G.Grandaughter. His daughter Elizabeth Chaney married David Clements Clarke and their daughter, Edith Clarke was my Grandmother.  I have discovered a Sir Thomas Cheyney who helped build Shurland Hall, Eastchurch, Isle of Sheppey during the first half of the 16th Century. He was a very important figure during the reign of Henry VIII but I'm not sure he is part of our family tree and that it was just a coincidence that William and Susannah were married on the Isle of Sheppey. The spelling of the name changes depending on what you read where. Would you know of this and whether it has a bearing on the Chaney family we belong to? In any case, it'd be great to touch base with a family member to discuss.
Cheers Cherie
