Kia ora Stuart

I am researching the SIMPSON family.  Wilhelmina CHANEY, daughter of William George CHANEY married Andrew SIMPSON, 12 November 1873.  Andrew is my gg-uncle. 

I'd be interested to know where you fit in to the CHANEY family.

Your on the right track! William George (b.15 july 1803) had two brothers and a sister - Charlotte Anne (b. 4 Dec 1797), William Thomas (bap. 30 June 1799), Charles Henry (b. 26 sept 1801). Their father was Francis (occ: Porter) (b.18 march 1775) - married at St Nicholas Rochester to Sarah ? in about 1797.
His parents were Thomas Chaney (b. 21 Aug 1735) married to Mary Winfield (a widow) in 7th Aug 1758.  Francis had four other siblings as follows;
Mary Anne (b.11 June 1763), Elizabeth Jane (b. 17 Aug 1766), William Thomas (b. 5 Jul 1771), John Edmond (b.31 Aug 1773). We would like more info past Thomas Chaney (1735). If you require information after William George (b.15 Jul 1803 - d.10 Mar 1883) contact us however; if you can find out any more info we would be very interested.  My partner is a Chaney from ancestry of the first fleet 'Randolph'.

Hi there,

thanks for the info which confirms the information that I have. I am a descendent of WGC thru his son Randolph and then granddaughter Harriet. I am getting a fair bit of info and it would be good to compare notes. WGC was a stonemason who built a lot of the seawalls around Lyttelton and the Lyteelton gaol. Interesting guy.

Hi All, it seems im a year or two late but just found this site.

Wiiliam George Chaney is my fourth great grandfather. His grandson Joseh Horatio Chaney or Albert Chaney made their way to Sydney and thats where my grandfather Eric Clifton Chaney comes into it.

Just wondering if anyone has traced back further to the ancestors of William Cheaney 1673-1795,this would be  William George Chaney's 3rd Great grandfather?

Thx for any help in advance.

Good evening from New Zealand,

I have got the following - I would have to check my sources now but to give you an idea: William married a Mary (ar. 1675-1745) but I am not sure about further back that that. It was Joseph who went to Sydney. John Albert went to Wellington. Cheers,

Hello there.
I don't think you are on the right track. Erric Clifton Chaney and Ada Chaney are my parents. I don't think you are his grandchild unless he has another son or daughter in the skeleton closet. My dad died in 1996 and my mum in 1977. He had 4 children all living in Australia. Hope this helps you.
