"The History of the I'Anson Family"
by Brian I'Anson (1915)
-
Bryan I'Anson, in his limited edition book "The I'Anson Family History",
included a large Family Tree Chart of the descendants of Capt. John I'Anson
-
I own the preliminary draft of the Family Tree Chart hand-written in 1915,
but not the book itself.
-
Only 60 copies of the book were published:
-
one is in the British Library, London
-
one in the London Library, St James's Square, London.
-
one is in the Bodleian Library, Oxford.

one was owned by Pamela (I'Anson) Hall (born c.1918), a descendent of the
horseracing I'Ansons. She was last known of living in Red Bank, New
Jersey, USA.
