London Theatre
« on: Thursday 15 September 11 17:40 BST (UK) »
RANSOM Sidney Lewis b. 1881 Wandsworth. He is my Grand-Uncle.Was a well known London actor, playwright, artist and author. The London Times has reviews of his plays during the 1920's but I cannot find his marriage or death details. I know he married an Irish actress and they had a daughter Doreen Ransom who died aged 9 or 10. Again, no trace of her. He also worked under Mosnar Yendis (his name spelt backwards). He disappears from 1891 Census onward. Have also searched Overseas Consular Marriages & Deaths. :(Any help greatly appreciated. Yendis44

Nice one Mo!   :D

Can't see anything for Doreen; I wonder if she was registered with another name?

The nearest death I can find is of an Olive Doreen Ransom in March Quarter 1903 Lambeth aged 9. There doesn`t seem to be a corresponding birth.  :-\

Sorry Sidney's birthdate is 1881 - I have his Certificate for this. Although being an actor maybe he reduced his age? And for some reason lied about his birthplace! Perhaps Wandsworth where he was born was not a salubrious place as Pimilco?I have saved this and tried to research Ena and Doreen mentioned. Thank You Nanny Jan, Mosie Fish and Mo for your assistance.

Could you then post the details from the birth certificate, in particular the father's name and occupation and the mother's maiden name.

You say he can't be found after the 1891 census, but I've been unable to find him on that. Has anyone else?

Answering myself  :-[

If I have the right family they are in Worcester in 1891 Rg 12 / 2328 / 46 / 1. Parents are William and Susannah?
In 1881 they are in Wandsworth, RG 11 / 658 / 100 / 20
