Romilly, hold off taking the sample and sending it back till MH confirm tests will get the new processing, probably after Xmas.  In a recent LostCousins newsletter https://www.lostcousins.com/newsletters2/lateoct25news.htm, Peter Calver suggested that it's pot luck at the moment.

Not heard back from GEDMatch yet.

Are you certain they triangulate on the same segments?  If you're looking at Ancestry, where (unless things have changed) you have no way of knowing which position(s) on which chromosome(s), it's entirely possible that you share 3 segs with CD and 6 segs with SW, but that CD and SW share completely different segments with each other.  They have a common ancestor but not necessarily the one that either of them shares with you.

Given her calculated age at marriage, could she have been a widow?  With either Bath or White being her maiden name and the other her married?  Or she had perhaps cohabited with a Mr Bath or Mr White and he had died?  Or she was illegitimate and her mother later married?  Or mother widowed and married again so children known by both surnames?  Lots to throw into the mix, not sure if any is helpful though!

I googled "Ann and Agnes same name?" and  a summary of the AI generated answer was that the names were often used interchangeably.  Agnes used to be pronounced annis or anes (silent g).  I had wondered, I get things wrong so often these days it's good to have suspicions confirmed!

Is it possible you were signed in to the old Ancestry account and not to your preferred one when you clicked the link?  Perhaps you use one browser for your primary Ancestry research but a different one for your email, and your old Ancestry account was still signed in on the same browser as you use for your email?  By browser I mean Edge, Firefox, Chrome etc.  I'd suggest you make sure you're logged out of any "spare" Ancestry accounts and ask for the invite to be sent again.
