Family

Chance is descended from the Chance baronets. His great great grandfather James Timmins Chance was created a baronet by Queen Victoria in 1900 for "services to seafarers", a reference to his and the firm of Chance Brothers' dominance of lighthouse design and engineering since 1851 . Toby Chance's elder brother Sebastian Chance is the 5th baronet.

His branch of the Chance family can be traced to the 1300s in the English county of Worcestershire.
