Thank you very much for the addition--I am a paying member of ancestry.com and have information regarding Louisa Guest Banks w/o John Miles Banks that i found yesterday by obtaining her obituary at the Saginaw Hoyt Library. Her father was William Guest who passed away in 1864 and her mother was Fanny Parkes, who married Westwood after her first husband's passing. I am not sure why Louisa was listed as Susannah on the one census, but I can assure you that she is the genuine article. She has three years of birth stated, but that's not uncommon for immigrants to change information when coming to the US having shaved 10 years off of her life once she arrived (or it was a typo in the newspaper). Her actual birth is November of 1858 :). If anyone would like limited lookups I am available. You can find Fanny Parkes @ http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/6273358/ ... 5074761806. I have been researching this line for years and finally made it to the library and am glad that I did.

A person should have an opinion on everything, It becomes tact whether you reveal that opinion or not.
