I’ve added an initial page to the site for Ronald:
In terms of relatives, Ronald’s only sibling appears to have been his brother Harry (born 12 October 1922) who continued to live in the family home at 87 Syringa Street, Marsh, and died in 16 January 1982. He didn’t marry:
LINDSEY. On January 16, in hospital, Harry, aged 59 years, of 87 Syringa Street, Marsh, the dearly loved son of the late Herbert and Nellie Lindsey, and dear brother of the late Ronald. Cortege leaves the Highfield Funeral Home on Tuesday, January 26, at 11am for service and cremation at Park Wood Crematorium, Elland, at 11.20am. Will friends please accept this (the only) intimation. Family flowers only, please. Donations in lieu, if desired, may be sent to the Huddersfield Hospice Appeal Fund, c/o Mr A Galvin, 74 Greenfield Avenue, Oakes.

This article from 1948 about Oakes Baptist Church mentions him:
There was a large congregation on Sunday evening when a corner of the Oakes Baptist Church was dedicated to the memory of Raymond Collier, Ivor Ellis, Ronald Lindsey, Duncan Noble, Norman Ramsden and Thomas White, former members of the school and church who lost their lives in the Second World War. The memorial plaque was unveiled by Mr. Clifford Whiteley, and the corner was dedicated by a former pastor, the Rev. B. F. Savill, now of Stretford, who also conducted the service. Douglas Haigh presented a wreath on behalf of the Youth Club. Mr. L. A. Grindrod conducted the choir, who sang special music, and Mr. A. Webster was at the organ.
