And fill in any gaps, i think your mother is my dad cousin?

Hi Dena, I can confirm my mother was Eileen Mabel Tyrrell nee Skevington. I'm happy to help you with information but the moderator interupted your previous response and deleted your email. I prefer to go through Rootschat as recommended as I am very wary of security these days. Would like to know where you fit into the tree so I know whom I'm talking to and where your information fits into mine. As you are looking for modern Skevington info and some of the info you want may apply to recently deceased, or even still alive, people.
Hope you understand
David

Hi Dena

Welcome to Rootschat.

My interest is in the Tansley family who can be traced back to the area around the border between south east Leicestershire, Rutland amd Northamptonshire. From your note I think that your Tansley grandfather was named William, born probably about 1907. The links though are to say the least confusing. I haven't been able to connect him with David Bertram Tansley who died in 1965 and whose will I am trying to fathom.

Any further information would be helpful I have about 250 Tansleys in my database going back to the early 17th century.
