David Ramsay Communist?

[RJMortimer]

Hello everyone,

Does anyone know about the parents and/or wife of David Ramsay, the Scottish communist in the 1920s? I know he lived at one stage with Helen Hendry but I don't think they married. Also anyone know where he was born? I think it was Edinburgh but I'm not sure 

Thanks, (he is my great great grandfather),

Hi Ryan ,

Found this -

Possibly died Leicester 1962 ?
There is a David A Ramsay death 1962 Leicester on freeBMD but this gives his age as 57 which , if correct , would I think be a bit young 
Do you have any dates for your ancestor ?

Thanks for the quick reply  Yes I have read that link- very helpful and the image is on my fridge 

Yes he died in Leicester as my family is from there (I was born there)  I agree that the dates are off because he attended the Second Congress of the Communist International in 1920 and I have a picture of him there- he looks to be in his 20s

Hi RJM,

Have you searched for him in the 1911 census?
I cannot find her in any previous censuses.There are quite a few Ramsay men marrying a Helen in that time period. I note there was a David Ramsay from Coalville in the WW1 records. Could these Ramsays be your relatives? I also checked telephone directories & found addresses for a G.Ramsay & a Mrs H.Ramsay in Coalville. Perhaps local newspaper archives could shed a light on these people.

Hi RJM,

On SP, there is a marriage of David Ramsay to Nellie Hendry in 1902 at Tradeston, Glasgow, Lanarkshire. This could be downloaded from http://scotlandspeople.gov.uk, cost £7 for 30 credits, will cost you 1 credit for search , then 5 credits to download it. This should give you parents.

PS   Can the David that ev found as died in Leicester in 1962, aged 57 not be his son David,?
