Hi Andy.

I did know of a Cheney family, a friend of ours died in December
of Cancer with such surname.

In the Northamptonshire Record Office there are 2 books
that list all the Cheyney families in the County.

It was done by our friend's father and is most informative.

I am afraid that we can not help with living relatives on Rootschat,
unless one pops along here.

All the best in your quest.

I'm sorry to hear of your loss!

It maybe that we were related but distant relatives as my last relative I know of that lived in Northamptonshire was my 4th great grandfather Jonas Cheney in the 1800's. I still believe and hope members of the family are living in Northamptonshire. Though I know branches of the Cheney's live in Hartlepool, Co.Durham and some may still be living in St Helier, Jersey.

Are all your Cheneys in Northants? I'm researching Cheney inlaws who most recently lived in Berks and Kent. My interest is in Jonathan Cheney born c 1828 in Berks, but he came from a big family and had at least six children himself, some of whom may well have spread northwards - because it's not my direct family I haven't followed the sibling lines.

hey lesleyhannah

it may be that they are relastives as i have discovered relatives from the cheney side of my family have also moved all over the country.

You wouldn't happen to know who Jonathan's father or mother was at all?

Jonathan is a real mystery - he just disappears. I can't find his death - and although his wife remarries, I suspect it may be bigamously. I believe Jonathan's parents were James Cheney, an ag lab,  born 1801 in Earley, Berks, and Hannah born 1811 in Shinfield Berks. I believe Jonathan was one of seven children.: Sarah, Thomas, Lydia, Jonathan, Mary Ann, Emma and Emily. Do these names crop up at all in your family?

I haven't followed the siblings - though now you've reminded me of this branch I might give it a try. However, this is a few generations apart from your Jonas. What would help would be if we could find Jonas had a James amongst his descendants!

We have managed to get a  lot of it together, although learning some of it is mixed up as to many Williams and Elizabeths.
