Help Contacting Ancestry Tree Owner Please
« on: Tuesday 21 April 15 20:24 BST (UK) »
Hi,
   Just today I have discovered some paper records at home which I shouldn't have and wish to pass on to an interested direct descendant of the subject family i.e. their family historian. Of course, I did the usual thing we RootsChatters do and went searching for more information.

The gentleman was the Reverend Wilfrid Mark Allison Potts who was Vicar of Carisbrooke, Isle of Wight 1964-81 and who died in 1995. His wife, to whose WW2 employment the documents refer, was Ann Frances Potts (nee Thicknesse) who died late last year, 2014, at the age of 95.

A search on Anc'y (no sub presently) threw up a tree with both husband and wife referenced. The tree's title contains both surnames, so it looks like being the work of a direct descendant. As they had four children I'm hopeful of a result here.

Could some kind 'Chatter with a subscription search out the tree owner please to pass on my offer and the details above (plus my PM'd e-mail address when required).
