William Snell Chauncy
William Snell Chauncy (11 August 1820 – 3 July 1878)〔(CHAUNCY, William Snell b: 11 AUG 1820 in Addlestone, Chertsey, Surrey, England d: 3 JUL 1878 in Goulburn, New South Wales, Australia )〕 was an English civil engineer responsible for a number of important engineering works including the first steam railway opened in Australia.
==Early life and work==
William Snell Chauncy was born in Addlestone, Chertsey, Surrey, England in 1820. He married Anna Cox at St Michael & All Angels church, Sunninghill, Berkshire on 7 July 1840. Chauncy initially worked with architect and surveyor, William Mullinger Higgins, on the design of a new grandstand for Ascot Race Course.〔(Margaret Hardwick ''Hardwick Genealogy'' )〕
In 1840 Chauncy and Anna migrated to Australia on the ship the ''Appoline'' arriving on 22 November in Port Adelaide where they had family, including a half-brother Philip who as assistant surveyor of Western Australia, may have been in a position to recommend Chauncy for engineering work.〔
The Australian venture was short lived and Chauncy set off back to England in 1844 via South Africa, but the birth of their second child Sophia Mary on board ship, caused him to delay at the Cape of Good Hope, where he obtained work supervising the construction of 300 miles of roads and several bridges. By 1846 he had moved to Ireland and was assistant engineer of roads in County Mayo. The family, however, stayed in West London. In about 1848, William was appointed assistant engineer on the London to Dover Railway, under William Cubitt.〔
