Hi everyone,
Has anyone had their Ancestry DNA done that links them to the family of William Horatio Brown and Susannah Dubock.
Regards,
Rosjan.

It would be useful to put their names in your heading.

Have you checked surnames interest board for Dubock?

Hi Rosjan,
Did you know you can upload your ancestry DNA to gedmatch https://www.gedmatch.com/ so it can be compared with DNA results from other sources (other than ancestry). It's free! It gives more possibilities for matches.

Have you approached other RChatters who posted on your threads indicating their ancestors included your family members?

Hi everyone,
Thank you for your help. It's beginning to look like that the DNA says one thing and the paper trail says another. At the moment the evidence is going the DNA way. Interesting times to come.
Thankyou all again.
Regards,
Rosjan.

If still interested, I'm possibly related through William's son James Horatio Brown who married Ellen McCluskey, but a possible paternity issue. James and Ellen were married shortly after the birth of Harriett Sarah Brown, but James name is not on the certificate (a Nicholas is). I've done Ancestry DNA, also FTDNA and are on Gedmatch if interested in checking.

I've not done any DNA testing as yet (although I'm favouring LivingDNA at the moment over Ancestry, but can't afford either for now) but Susannah Dubock's maternal grandfather Thomas Briggs was the half brother of my 4 x Great Grandfather Oakley Briggs. Not sure, though, with half siblings how much DNA would be shared. On the Briggs side there will be that issue since Thomas' only full sibling died as an infant but he had four half siblings who had children, although how many of those lines have living descendants remains to be seen.

The likelihood of getting a match from autosomal DNA that AncestryDNA, FTDNA (Family Finder) and 23andMe is based on statistics. The DNA a person shares with a common ancestor gets diluted as time goes on. With autosomal DNA there is (subjectively) 99.6% chance of descendants sharing 2x great grandparents DNA, 54% chance with 3 x great grandparents and only .01% with 4x great grandparents. So in your case a match at 4x GG parents is statistically low) [Although I just had one today to a 4th cousin once removed so not impossible] Other options if you can show a direct paternal line (e.g. father, father's father etc) is YDNA or mtDNA for a direct maternal line (mother, mother's mother etc) which remain consistent through time

Thankyou all for your interest and advise it's very much appreciated.
As it turns out after having the Ancestry DNA test done, my brother also had his done as well, and it turns out, to cut a long story short our grandmother had an affair and our fathers father is not the father of our father so instead of coming down from William Horatio Brown and Susannah Dubock we come down from a Michael Patrick Ryan and Sarah Ogden through their son Bertram, Bertram had the affair with our grandmother and our father was the result. So all very interesting and we have met our new family, which went well.
Thankyou all again,
Rosjan.
