Ramsden/Crawshaw
« on: Friday 03 January 14 04:26 GMT (UK) »
Hello,
I'm just trying to find out a bit more about my history. My grandmother was born in Colne, Lancashire, England in 1924, I believe. Her parents were Elizabeth (Crawshaw) and Sykes Ramsden. That's all I really know. I'm not even sure if she had any brothers or sisters. The family came to Canada in 1924 and settled in Hallonquist, SK. I would really love to know more about my family. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Alyssa.
A very warm welcome to Rootschat.

Just to start things off......
Sykes Ramsden and Elizabeth Crawshaw were married in Burnley in 1914.
It was a Registrar Attended Marriage and you can view the record for yourself on this free website
http://www.lancashirebmd.org.uk/
Click on the link and then marriages put the names in the boxes.
The same website also shows 2 births one in 1922 and one 1924.  I assume the 1924 one is your Grandmother.
I'm not going to put the names here in case they are still living but you can view them yourself on the birth index.

The 2005 UK electoral rolls for Colne shows 4 Ramsden as sole occupants and 1 couple.

I cannot post details in the open forum but you can PM me for the information if required.

Hi
Welcome to Rootschat
This looks like it could be his birth
Sykes Ramsden
Apr-May-Jun 1887
Registration District:
Halifax
Yorkshire West Riding
I can see him on the 18911,1901 and 1911 census but he is not with his parents.

His army papers say that he married Elizabeth on 11th April 1914 at the Unitarian Chapel Colne.
Elizabeth's address is given as 8 Moorhead, Colne.
