Thank you every one for the messages and advice. 
Yes Galium the one that went to Canada has the same birth date as the one that disappeared  from London around 1892 but the birth year is different. That is one of the main paper trail reasons i think i have the correct man.  Cannot find a marriage for them and cannot find them on shipping records. Census records info differs one census to the next.  My mum has multiple DNA matches via 2 of their children that i have been able to connect but i still have 4 second cousin DNA matches in this cluster that i cannot connect. Honestly this family is so messy.
Skeleton in every cupboard.
DNA is an amazing thing and i would not have known any of this except for mums DNA test.


 

Hi Rootschat family , i have been struggling with DNA 2nd cousin matches for my mother. 
From what i can work out from many months of investigating shared matches using pro tools on ancestry, 2 of hers fathers 1st cousins left families in England and moved over seas. 1 to Canada around 1892 and 1 to Australia between 1923-1928, changing their names on the way and then starting new families.
I have contacted the DNA matches who either do not answer,  tell me i am wrong or have no idea.
I have done family history research for many years and i am very thorougher with my research. DNA is fairly new for me but i am sure i have worked the shared matches correctly using the cluster method.
Is DNA evidence enough?
Thanks Leonie

Hi hoping someone can help me with this question.
I live in Australia and want to purchase a marriage certificate from the Manitoba Vital Statistics Branch.
I have been on the website and found the marriage but i am unsure if i can actually use the form on there as i live in Australia.
