"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. 
    • 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 by the author, Bryan I'Anson, to his 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 Harold Laurence I'Anson of Masham
    • one is owned by Mary K. Stamm of Strongsville, Ohio, a granddaughter of Margaret I'Anson.  The book originally belonged to W.  I'Anson-Robson.  It later came to Nina I'Anson-Robson, who then gave it to Mary's aunt, Bertha Thompson.
    • one is owned by Geraldine I’Anson  in Devon and . . .  . . .
