RANSOM, Edward

A solicitor who spent his entire life in Sudbury, Suffolk. His obituary in Trans. Suffolk Nat. Soc., 6, 1947, p.lxv states ‘Just fifty years ago we began at first brisk correspondence with our Subject, then very keen on both Lepidoptera and Beetles, an exchange of specimens useful to us both, later he accorded more attention to Ornithology... He was a small and peculiarly quiet man, so retiring that he shrank from joining this Society when approached upon the subject in 1929’. (Information from Howard Mendel). (MD 11/04)
