Judith - posted.Thank you very much for the button. I cannot find any connection between Bell Ransom and Kilnwick Percy, but maybe he was just out for a walk! If I find out more about him I will let you know. Thanks again. Judith
Judith - address noted. Will post. Can you supply your surname please.Hi. Surname is Benson. Please could you tell me where you found it, unless of course it's a secret place! Thanks again.
Judith - happy to send the button. Where to?That's very kind of you. Can we send addresses on here? I shall try anyway.
Judith - it depends on what you mean by a good home. Your explanation seems likely if Bell Ransome was a tailor, particularly if he had a WW1 contract. Is this likely/I cannot find any info on a military record so not sure. He lived most of his life in North Dalton, but died in Bridlington. As for a good home, I didn't know whether you wanted to keep it in your collection or whether you were looking for a family member to give it to. I am in contact with 2 of his great great grandsons and I am a great great grand niece. Just wondered!
Judith - thanks. How come he was making buttons? Was there a manufacturing plant/shop at north Dalton?There were lots of trades in North Dalton during the 1800s and early 1900s, but I haven't heard of a button manufacturer. Bell was a tailor though. Could this be off an army uniform or maybe he had special buttons made to go on one of his handmade suits. Are you wanting to find a good home for it or just looking for information?
Have just started researching my family tree. I have Ransom(e)s and possibly Bells in my ancestry. I have yet to find a link between the Ransom(e)s and the Bells.
Thomas Ransome married Margaret Bell from Kilham, but there is also a Bell family who came from the Pickering area in the early 1800s to live in Bainton and some of the children then lived in North Dalton, whilst some went back to the Pickering area and some to Hull and some descendants lived in Driffield. There doesn't seem to be a connection between the 2 Bell families from Kilham & Pickering (unless of course someone has found one!)

Found garment button whilst metal detecting yesterday with name of B Ransome of North Dalton on. Can anyone throw any light on this find?Hi. It could be Bell Ransome who was my great x 2 great uncle. He lived from 1835 to 1916. I have many Ransome ancestors, but Bell is the only one on my tree who's name begins with B.
Would anyone be able to help with a Memorial Inscription look up for Great Driffield please?Hi Judith
I am interested in any REASTON entries,particularly Edward who died about 1810/1811 and his wife Elizabeth.
Thank you.

In 1841 - Stanton St John, Suffolk (ref.HO107 - 1014 -7 - 22 - 3)Thank you very much for the information Annette. Yes it was all very useful.
Transcribed as ADAME on Ancestry
Robert Adams 70 Ind. b. Suffolk
Mary Adams 60 ditto
Sophia Adams 20 ditto
Thomas Adams 20 ditto
John Adams 5 mos. ditto
(Remember ages rounded down in 1841).
Robert Adams bc.1767 bur.22/12/1844 Stanton
Mary Adams bc.1776 bur.9/12/1858 Stanton
Mary is still alive in 1851 - still in Stanton - ref. HO107 - 1791 - 554 - 19 - shown as an Annuitant and with the same people (except for Robert) although dau. Sophia has been married and widowed between 41-51. Mary's birthplace is shown as Barningham, Suffolk
I note that when she and Robert married her name is shown as Stimpson. However, have found the following on familysearch which i suspect is her:
Mary Simson bp.3/10/1779 Barningham, dau. of Robert and Caroline (think this could be a mistranscribed name as there were definitely Stimpson's in Barningham).
Surely this must be Robert Adams birth:
Robert bp.22/11/1767 Barnham, son of Thomas and Sarah Adams
Hope this helps.
