Stronger continuity of measure from below?

If $(X,mathcal F, sigma)$ is any space with a measure and $mathcal{A subseteq F}$ is a countable chain then $sigma(bigcup mathcal A)=sup_{A in mathcal A} sigma(A)$; this is well-known. Can there be a space $(X,mathcal F, sigma)$ where an uncountable chain $mathcal {A subseteq F}$ such that $bigcup mathcal A in mathcal F$ and $sigma(bigcup mathcal A)neqsup_{A in mathcal A}sigma(A)$ can be found?



I generally accept Axiom of Choice.

          Consider $(aleph_1, mathcal P(aleph_1), sigma)$ where $aleph_1$ is the smallest uncountable ordinal and $sigma(E)=0$ if $E$ is countable, $sigma(E)=infty$ if $E$ is uncountable. Consider
          $$
          mathcal A = bigl{ A_x={yinaleph_1:yleq x}: xinaleph_1 bigr}.
          $$

          Then each $A_x$ is countable therefore
          $$
          sup_{Ainmathcal A} sigma(A) = 0 neq infty = sigmaleft(bigcupmathcal Aright) .
          $$
