tranters

[Rochdalian]

Hi Michael
On a distant twig on my wife's branch of the family tree I have a Tranter or two. I must say they fit into the category of 'hangers on' if you know what I mean, they got there by accident.  However, they may be connected to you.

James TRANTER & Georgianna Maria COX (no other details) had a son Charles Edwin TRANTER b 21/9/1889 at Knowsley, Victoria.   Charles went on to marry Catherine Ann MANTON who links to my wife's HOPKINS line.

Cheers

Bob

hi sue
thanks for that.do you know he came to lose a eye in the services here in the uk
regards
michael

On page 4 of the service record it says he had a gun shot wound to the eye - he was in France.  The date is 31 August 1818.   The place abbreviation looks to be D'K Hill - would that be Dunkirk Hill?   He was then sent back to England.

Michael,
I have found the death records for some of your Cushions. Are you interested? (Don't want to type them out if you already have the information.)
