Hi Dena
Welcome to Rootschat.
My interest is in the Tansley family who can be traced back to the area around the border between south east Leicestershire, Rutland amd Northamptonshire. From your note I think that your Tansley grandfather was named William, born probably about 1907. The links though are to say the least confusing. I haven't been able to connect him with David Bertram Tansley who died in 1965 and whose will I am trying to fathom.
Any further information would be helpful I have about 250 Tansleys in my database going back to the early 17th century.
