Hi, I recently received a message on Ancestry regarding my Grandfather Michael John Banks Hoskins. None of my family really knew him and all the info I found on him and his mother was on Genes reunited and Ancestry. Here is the message. Micheal John Banks Hoskins was my first cousin 1x removed - a) Micheal's father, Christopher Marsden, is my great uncle [his sister Agnes May Marsden -- Agnes May Bryan is my grandmother]. I have a photo of him and his wife May Gwendolen Hoskins on my tree]; b) My paternal grandmother was Agnes May Bryan {born November 26 1903 in Castleconnell Co Limerick, Ireland and she passed in November of 1995 in Colchester, Essex, England]; c) my mother is Joan Ellen Bryan - married name Joan Rainey whose mother was Agnes May Bryan.

Unfortunately I can not replie or look at this guys tree (AHRainey) as I don't have an active subscription with Ancestry. Micheal went by the name of Michael Banks and his mother May Gwendoline Hoskins went by the married name of Banks before she married Christopher Marsden but there is no marriage for her to a Banks?? Michael died in 1993 going by the name of Michael Stanley Banks?? Can anyone help me find info on Christopher Marsden please past and present.

All help is much appreciated

Thank you in advance

Ellen

Ellen, the tree you mention is a public one, so you should be able to view it on the Mundia site. I am not sure if you will be able to contact the owner through that site.

Hi, thank you. I did click on the public tree but payment for membership came up. I will try the other site you have mentioned. I was able to view the photos though on Ancestry

But if you open the tree on Mundia which has the name in Ellen, you will be able to send a message to the tree owner.
