Hi David, I stumbled across this site by accident looking for the address of Mansi ice creams in London! I see you haven't been on the site for a long time but thought it might be worthwhile replying to your question. My great grandfather was the Mansi that started the ice cream business in Great Yarmouth! Did your great grandmother have a son called Frank ( Frankie?). Hope you get this message! Julie B
Hi Julie....It now turns out that my G Grandmother did have a son called Frank M Balls born 1921 and Frank Mansi was the father. She also had a daughter, Florence M Balls b 1923 who emigrated to Australia. I can only presume the "M" in both names was Mansi.
Regards
David
