Hello Sarah and fellow Ransom researchers. My connection is to the Bexhill Ransoms and my list is nowhere near as long as Sarah's! However, I can add the following from my line which may be of interest: Stephen RANSOM b. Bexhill about 1771 m.Harriet YEATES and their known children : Stephen RANSOM bpt 20 Dec 1807 Bexhill (grocer) Harriet RANSOM b. 2 July 1802 m. Stephen THOMAS 14 Jul 1826 Bexhill (local registrar) Also brothers and sisters of Stephen (1771) above: Thomas RANSOM c. 1773 m. Charlotte CRAMP Elizabeth RANSOM c 1775 m. Henry DUKE William RANSOM c.1780 m. Mary Hannah RANSOM c. 1781 (Sarah - might this be the one you mention who married Thomas Fowler?) James RANSOM c. 1783 John RANSOM m. Elizabeth BRITT 1811 Bexhill Sarah, do we know if Laurence Ransom c. 1639 ties in with the Bexhill Ransoms we already have around that time (i.e. James 1652)? Regards from Jersey, Channel Isles, Penny
