Likely to be William and family on the 1841, Tarrant’s in the same household. Including an Elizabeth TARRANT, who would be a good fit or the Eliza who married William:

Dear Jamjar,
Thankyou for all your hard work. I have no information on Chivers family other than the names John Ferrant Chivers marriage to Margaret McDonald. Im fascinated to consider that the Ferrant could and possibly should be Tarrant as per a wifes maiden name handed down as a middle name. We always wondered about the name Ferrant and its beginnings we even consider french connections. You may have solved the puzzle for us. Again many thanks. My mum is 88 and will be so happy to learn something of her families history. Now I want to construct lives and attach them to the names. I know George Maxwell was a train driver and wonder if thats a family occupation followed down the male line.  many thanks . Meme
