"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 (present surname unknown), a descendent
of the horseracing I'Ansons last known of living in Red Bank, New Jersey,
USA.
-
one was owned by Derek I'Anson of Littleborough, North Yorkshire (Now by
his sons?)
-
Chris I'Anson (of the Masham I'Ansons) recently purchased a copy
of the book online, one that had been given to Bryan I'Anson's sister Floris
and is inscribed with her name.
-
one is owned by Elizabeth Knight of Darlington
-
one is owned by Helen Pride in Nova Scotia
-
one was owned by Brenda Pullan of Sowerby Bridge, West Yorkshire, and is
now with her brother in Australia
-
one is owned by Dennis I'Anson, a descendant of the Quaker line, and kept
safely in a bank.
