Thomas Sandes, D.P., J.L., and Elizabeth Chute.

Thomas is listed as next in line to succeed to Sallow Glen in an entry for his elder brother William:
SANDES, William, Esq., of Sallow Glen, co. Kerry. Eldest son of the late Thomas William Sandes, Esq., of Sallow Glen, by Margaret, dau. of Francis Chute, Esq, of Chute Hall, co. Kerry; b.1799; s. 1835; m. 1836, Rupertia, only dau. of the late Charles Higgs, Esq. of Charlton Kings, co. Gloucestershire. Educated at Trinity Coll., Dublin (B.A. 1822); was High Sheriff of co. Kerry 1828 - Charlton Kings, near Cheltenham, co Gloucestershire; Sallow Glen, near Tarbert, co. Kerry. Heir Pres., his brother Thomas, a J.P. and D.L. for co. Kerry, b. 1801; m. 1839 Elizabeth, dau. of Francis Bernard Chute, Esq., of Bahttany*, co. Kerry.

Edward Walford, M.A. 1864, Robert Hardwicke, 192, Piccadilly, Second Edition. Page 881. *Bahttany is probably a misprint, and should have read, "Rathanny, Tralee, co. Kerry."
This marriage record is problematic, as it is not made entirely clear which Francis Bernard Chute became his father-in-law. Francis Bernard Chute, Sr. and Jane Rowan did have a daughter named Elizabeth, but it is still unclear whether this Elizabeth was their own, or the Elizabeth who was the daughter of Thomas Trant <links.htm> and Maryanne Chute of Kerry, and who was being raised by this family after being orphaned. If they were in fact raising two Elizabeth's, it is possible that their own Elizabeth married Thomas Sandes. If they were only raising the one Elizabeth who was Elizabeth Trant, that Elizabeth later joined her sister in Queensland, Australia and would not have been the wife of Thomas Sandes.
That said, there is no record yet of Francis Bernard Chute, Jr. having had a daughter named Elizabeth. At the moment, the assumption is being (hesitantly) made that the "Elizabeth" in the Francis Bernard Chute Sr. and Jane Rowan record was not the "Elizabeth Trant" who they were raising for Thomas Trant and Maryanne Chute, and that it was this "Elizabeth Chute" who married Thomas Sandes. Howver, this is not confirmed by any other records, and may be incorrect.
The glitch in the theory is the presence, in the James Cook University Archives in Australia, of the "Marriage settlement of Francis Bernard Chute, Esq. with Miss Jane Rowan, dated 4th April, 1804. This document is handwritten and covers three pages of parchment and is in almost perfect condition. Donated with this document was a copy of the following monograph: McCarthy, S.T., The Trant Family. Folkestown, Stace & Sons, (19- ), which is located in the North Queensland Collection."

This might possibly suggest that the Elizabeth in their family records was Elizabeth Trant and not Chute, and that she brought their documents with her to Australia.
More research is needed on this family group.
