1901 family were living @ Ballyalton Comber and father was John M.Chambers
Circa 1912 to 1918 CHAMBERS FAMILY 17 Mill Street, Newtownards Henry Steele Chambers (Harry) and Mary Chambers (whether the mother or her daughter, I don't know) both signed the Ulster Covenant, giving this as their address. Edward Magee Chambers, George Chambers, Henry Steele Chambers and brother-in-law William Clarke are all listed as living here in the Presbyterian Church in Ireland's Roll of Honour 1914-1919. I can only assume that this was the Chambers family home for the remainder of the Chambers children with the exception of the two oldest boys, James and John who had already left home by 1911 and both were married by 1913.

Circa 1919 to 1986 CHAMBERS FAMILY 77 William Street, Newtownards Chambers Family Home 1919 to 1986 Newtownards. John Chambers (the junior) wouldn't have lived here when he was younger as he was already married. He did, however, live here in his later years with wife, Margaret (nee Kelly) and his two sisters - Edith and Margaret (Daisy). The house remained in the family from about 1919 until Edith's death in 1986. All four are now buried beneath the same tombstone in Movilla Cemetery. Annie Chambers is also recorded as living here in her death notification and will probate. {see deaths above} The other younger boys lived here as well - Henry Steele Chambers, Edward Magee Chambers, Hugh Chambers and William Thomas Chambers until they left for Australia. I can only assume that Mary Chambers nee Whitla, their mother, lived here also. I have no record of her death, only that she was still alive in December of 1927 when Hugh and Isabella married.
