Ransley History

[Torchwood]

Hi Can anyone help me??
I am doing my family history RANSLEY, and have hit a brick wall
I am trying to find my dad's dad, i know his name is Sidney Leonard Ransley, but that's all, i think his mum was a MANDER as i have searched FreeukGen, and found that he had some brothers and sisters but they had a diffrent mum!!!
Also i know Sidney married a daisy may Price, again i cannot find nothing about daisy.

Can any one help??

hi,
On www.freebmd.org.uk there is a birth for a Sydney L Ransley, mmn Mander
Warwick 6d 1589  AMJ 1915.
His marriage to Daisy took place OND 1936 Warwick 6d 2141

Thank you very much, I am also trying to track down some more info on his mum MANDER.

I see theres another birth with MMN = Mander in Warwick in 1921.

What is the other Maiden name you have from the births of his siblings - I ask as no Ransley / Mander marriage is showing up.

You may need to obtain that Birth Certificate for Sydney to reveal his parents full names so that we can work back....

There are several births in Warwick at this time with mmn either GLENN or MANDER, and a likely marriage:

Marriages Mar 1906
GLENN  Eliza Fanny        
RANSLEY  Thomas
Warwick 6d 764   

There is a birth for this lady in 1888:

Births Sep 1888  
GLENN  Eliza Fanny        
Warwick 6d 568

However, she doesn't show up anywhere obvious on census as GLENN, but there is a Lizzie MANDER the same age, whose parents are Christopher and Mary - this is their marriage:

Marriages Mar 1889   
GLENN  Mary Ann            
MANDER  Christopher
Warwick 6d 589

I guess, therefore, that as she was born before the marriage, she used both surnames at different times, although as Mort says, it would be best to get Sidney's birth cert to confirm this!

Looks promising!

You are all fantastic!!!
Right this is what i know, dad was Thomas Ransley, and he was married to Eliza Fanny Glen, they had 6 children.
At some point Thomas had another 3 children with this Mander women who i no nothing about, Sidney being 1 of them.
I can find nothing of his mother ( mander ) i have asked my dad for his dads birth certificate but he doesnot have it.

Also

Any look on Daisy May Price?? she was married to Sidney ransley i believe in 1936, that's all i know, if anyone knows her parents that would be good.

unfortunately my dad knows very little, as his mom died when my dad was very Young.

Can i just thank you all once again

Like I said above, I strongly suspect that Eliza Fanny GLENN was also known as MANDER, but you would need to get Sidney's birth cert to be sure - you can order it online here http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/ and it costs £9.25.  (The reference you need is Jun Q 1915 Warwick 6d 1598.)

I can see a possible death registration for Daisy M RANSLEY (aged 47) in Sep Q 1963 (Warwick 9c 933).

That would mean she was born c1915/16, and the most likely birth I can see on FreeBMD seems to be this one:

Births Jun 1916
PRICE  Daisy M   
Mother's maiden name BORTON
Stratford 6d 1601
