Albert and Charity FRANKHAM

[achooo]

im trying to trace anything on bessie nee frankmam died 1996 dont know proper age beleived to have been 94 years old born at devises her mother was charity and father albert frankham

[achooo]

albert and charity are from alton hampshire area,im told they also used name ranscum/ranskom/?wether charity was ranscome ?

I cant see an Albert Frankham marriage to any Charity at all.

Nor can I see an Albert Frankham on 1901 with a wife Charity.

Charity Rans* (using wildcard) brings no results on 1901 either.

Where does your information come from?

Was Bessie always a Bessie or was she Elizabeth?
HAve you got her marriage cert giving her dad's name as ALbert? Did he have a middle name?

 Was she this marriage -
Ap/May/Jun 1921
Melksham Wiltshire 5a 251
Bessie Frankham / Mr webb


There is an ALbert Frankham with a wife ROSE in Trowbridge (in Melksham Reg District) on 1901 census, with children - could they be the parents of Bessie?

I see a birth of a Charity Frankham in 1902 - could it be that BESSIE was actually Charity?

The father of this Charity was called Thomas. Charity had a sister called Betsy, her birth was registered 1906, in Fordingbridge.

We don't seem to be getting a great deal closer achooo, but keeping fingers crossed something might turn up.
