Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: Ancestry Clusters
« on: Monday 07 July 25 10:41 BST (UK)  »
I have 25 matches above 50 cm. All bar two I can place despite several stemming from illegitimacy. I have my suspicions about how one of the other 2 is related to me but unfortunately my relevant 2nd cousins have their DNA on other sites!

One recent addition to my list of common ancestors makes me question Ancestry's algorithm(s). The match has a tree of 1!

Somerset / Eliza CAVE nee COOOMBS
« on: Saturday 14 June 25 09:02 BST (UK)  »
Eliza COOMBS was baptised at Walcot St Swithin 15/2/1801 daughter of John COOMBS 1775-1811 and Elizabeth died ca 1805. Her father remarried in 1808 to Hannah Jessup a widow.

Eliza married William Cave on on 28 Jun 1818 at parish Bath St James by Licence. they had 4 children between 1818 and 1823 living in Bath and then at Box where William died in 1827.  I have been unable to identify what became of Eliza.
The Eliza Cave who married Harry Jelly in 1829 was William's sister

Mishal Husain's was fascinating and the lineage certainly startled her. It wasn't what she has described in her book

Many thanks for that. It makes a lot of sense and ages did tend to be erratic in those days

Warwickshire / Lydia VERNON Birmingham born ca 1780
« on: Tuesday 04 February 25 10:48 GMT (UK)  »
Lydia VERNON remarried to Edward Adkins in 1803


13 Nov 1803 by licence

Edward Adkins, widower, of this parish and Lydia Vernon, widow, of St Martins in Birmingham
Witnesses were Lydia Adkins and William Roberts
All signed the register

Lydia had 6 children with Edward born 1805 to 1817 so was presumably born ca 1780
I can't find an unambiguous burial for her so am unsure of her age.

What was Lydia's maiden name?
Two possibilities are Shaw, 1795 marriage in Walsall, or Yardley, 1800 in Wolverhampton but were there others?

Quote from: Little Nell on Saturday 11 January 25 11:51 GMT (UK)
I found an obituary notice in 1912 for Pamela Adelaide Tregilgas, aged 82, widow of Thomas Tregilgas.
 It further states that she was the daughter of William Brunning RN of Falmouth.  Pamela was recorded with Betsy/Elizabeth in 1841.

Cornwall opc has a transcription of the marriage record where it states that William was a sailmaker.

Reasonable confirmation?

Nell

Thanks. Although I have a copy of her marriage certificate I hadn't seen the obituary

Thanks all. I had suspected he died at sea but hadn't spotted any possible connection with Tasmania.
