Connection Notes

Father - William (Hicks) Beach MP (1783-1856)

Grandfather - Michael (Hicks) Hicks-Beach (1760-)

Uncle - Michael Hicks (Hicks-Beach) 1780 - 1815

Nephew - Michael Hicks-Beach (1809-1854)

All research shows this line to be true, but I can find no sources for the Uncle (Fathers Brother) to link him to either the Grandfather or the Nephew. Maybe something on Ancestry of FMP.
