Find Living Relatives

There are 4 people with the surname Styan on electoral registers in Harrogate up to 2014 (the latest year on Findmypast website).

Do you have any first names?

There is only one Ramsdale in Harrogate in Findmypast and that was in the 2002 electoral register.

Hi Arlene, unfortunately, even people who knew these people (none of whom are likely to ever see this message!) could tell who they are without some names!

Isabel Who? Do you know whom she married? Do you have an idea of dates -- when she was born, for starters?

Hm, are Ramsdale and Styan names, and they were in Harrogate area?

Ah yes, they are surnames, but there is no Ramsdale + Styan marriage in records, for instance:

https://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl

Although no one who does have information is at all likely to reply, other members here can help with tracing family, if we have more info about them.

Might this possibly be Isabel's birth?

Births Jun 1894
Ramsdale Isabel Gt. Ouseburn 9a 78

Aha, yes, you have in your tree

Isabel Ramsdale 1894 Roecliffe, Yorkshire

Meanwhile, you can search trees here (under Search in the upper right) to see whether any other members have your people in their trees, and if so, send them a message by clicking the "More Info" button.

Crossed with Kath who figured out the names before I did. :-)

For info, this is the family in 1911

Robert Ramsdale 63
Elizabeth Ramsdale 58
Martha Ramsdale 18
Isabel Ramsdale 16
Leslie Charles 19


Might this be her marriage?

Marriages Jun 1923
Ramsdale Isabel Reed Thirsk 9d 859
Reed John P Ramsdale Thirsk 9d 859


Do you know the names of any of Isabel's children?

There were two births to that marriage, girl 1923 and boy 1929.

Ah ... and the daughter married a Styan.

Two children ... whom you have in your tree here.

(It is actually against site privacy rules to put living people in one's tree without their consent.)

You might be able to reach one of the sons via here (just googling his name finds this info, since his name is uncommon):

or perhaps more directly

That info matches with the electoral roll and telephone listing.


... I will let Arlene know to check her thread ...

Joonie,
Thanks for such a quick reply. You and Kathleen are absolutely amazing! I am new to this whole process. Hopefully it is okay to give you the following names since I don't know if some are still living.
Isabel Ramsdale 1894-1963 born in Roecliff / Great Ouseburn. Deceased in Boroughbridge. Isabel married Jack Reed 1893-1966, deceased in Boroughbridge. They had a son, Stapleton born 1925. Living still?? He married Pip Danford born 1926. Still living??? They had 2 sons Philip and Stephen who were born late 40s I think.
Isabel and Jack's daughter was Margaret born 1927. Still living??? She married Leslie Styan 1926-1966. The had 2 sons Michael and Eric who were born early 50s I think.
Margaret and family apparently lived in Harrogate.
Stapleton and family supposedly lived in Knarsborough at some time.
I would love to find them. According to a now deceased aunt, Pip supposedly has the Ramsdale family Bible which is full of family info.
Thank you again for all your help and suggestions.
Regards, Arlene
