Born 20th March 1852 to parents William and Eleanor “Ellen” Ransom (nee Eyre) in the Union Workhouse at Old Windsor, Berkshire. He had two younger siblings Charles and Arthur. Charles died at just over 3 years of age. The first residence the family are listed at is 19 Thornton’s Yard, Brentford, Middlesex in the 1861 census but just the year before the birth of Charles was recorded at the same address. Both his parents were agricultural labourer’s at the time.

Hi
I’m in the UK and researching another dimension of this story – the Mindelsohn family.
I’d like to establish a direct dialogue to share information.
A branch of the UK Mindelsohn family created a business in 1921, and in the early days of motor vehicle industry. This business is still alive, celebrated the 100th anniversary in 2021. The business has also enjoyed strong sales in Australia and New Zealand for much of its history.
Please establish contact so we can begin to share info and build this story.
We are working towards a submission of archive materials to the British Motor Museum later in November. We are also building an on line digital archive of company documents.
Hi Greg. I’ll email you back.
