Lincolnshire / Re: elizabeth wright

You firstly look for the candidate spouse names on that marriage index.

If you are fortunate you can then search for Elizabeth under the candidate surnames in 1851 and beyond.

Still not proof of course, but occasionally it's good enough if you find (eg her sister living with her after Elizabeth marriage)

You could probably narrow the candidate addresses from the 1911 census.

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: Too good to be true?

ive got matches at that kind of level where the paper trail is one parent, but the dna says its on the other side , and a lot closer! (and nowhere were we able to see where).

Unfortunately,  we cannot help with searches for the still living.

It's not all access, it's world membership.

 No military, no newspapers . Not worth it.

You might try walking up from no 22 where you find the 32 year old abbott LLoyd

so elaborate a liitle, when & where DID you see them?
Where were they and with whom when last seen?
you say early 1800s, so  before or after civil registration?

The Common Room / Re: Adoption and Original birth certificate
« on: Tuesday 05 August 25 13:52 BST (UK)  »
I think you would be better off just relating the information as you have it.
add in the 1939 register details too. The gentleman is long gone.

Was it a formal adoption? Is there a certificate in the adoptive name?

The Common Room / Re: Ancestry hint.
« on: Saturday 02 August 25 09:30 BST (UK)  »
My input would be thet you have to think of it as not so much as Ancestry finding a hint, it's simply passing on a hint/ record that some other researcher has found.
So that could be a (wrong) birth registration for a woman in her later married name rather than maiden name being accepted and propagated, OR the initial researcher initially knew something which the later researcher didn't, or used a site other than ancestry to find it, then added it to their ancestry tree.

What I see is I add a name (with skeleton dates/place) and get no hints. Then add a baptism or somesuch. Ancestry then presents a whole slew  of hints for that person, presumably based solely on the fact that the baptism that I attached was attached to someone else who also had all these other records attached.

There's no wisdom to it at all.
