Charles
Transom was the second eldest son of Cecil Charles Transom and
Isabella Ellen Adam Transom.
Charles
(21 October 1866 - 25 August 1938) married Norah
Moore (16 April 1884 -
1972) on 22 April 1903, in Waione. Norah was only 19 at the time of
her marriage - Charles was a good deal older, being 37. Norah
appears to have been involved with the St Matthews parish in
Masterton, and indeed, the Transoms do seem to have some connection
to the Wairarapa.
Charles
and Norah were Alister's Great Grandparents. They had the following
children:
Charles
Henry "Laddie" Transom (18
June 1904, Waione - 1971, Brisbane) married Corrie May (1915 - 17 May
1965). This couple are also both buried in the Catholic section of
the Taihape Cemetery.
Emily
"Midge" Transom (8 August 1905 - August 1988, Taihape).
Emily worked in Taihape as a nurse and midwife.
Harriet
"Bub"Transom (8 July 1907 - June 1977, Kaikohe)
Eustace
Cecil "Mick" Transom (16
November 1911, Taihape - 13 September 1991, Taihape). This was
Alister's grandfather, who he unfortunately barely knew. Mick is
buried at the Taihape Cemetery.
Charles
and Norah are buried in the Catholic section of the Taihape Cemetery
along with their daughter, Emily. Emily died in 1988 at the age of
83.

I'm
still looking for further information here - including Harriet's
married name. I've been helped in updating this page with
information Alister's late father, Gerald Transom, recorded prior to
his death.
