Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: Triangulation conundrum
« on: Today at 09:56 »
As you say 90 cM is a bit high for a 3C1R. However, amongst the many descendants of my GGGF i have two 3C1R who are 92 and 95 cM matches on Ancestry. They are descended from different children of my GGGF. These two matches are actually higher matches than 4 of the 5 3C matches from that GGGF!

Kent / Re: Mary Ann Amelia MOORCRAFT and Alfred John PETERS both born 1859

Thanks but the Alfred Peters baker you found is described as single.
I've checked the 1861 and 1871 census and can find no Alfred Peters of the correct age in the same households as John Peters

certificates often lie.

My wife's GGM was born in 1882 and shown in the 1891 census and her marriage certificate as the daughter of her grandfather. Only the birth certificate revealed that her mother was an unmarried daughter of the said grandfather.

Did they emigrate ?

I cannot find her with any of the brothers and sisters.

Rebecca married William Vaughan

Amy married George Lester

Walter married Ellen

I suspect that may have been the case but have failed to find any evidence for them doing so.

And Mary's surname was MOORCRAFT but this was sometimes entered as MOORCROFT

Kent / Mary Ann Amelia MOORCRAFT and Alfred John PETERS both born 1859
« on: Thursday 06 November 25 13:41 GMT (UK)  »
Mary Ann Amelia MOORCRAFT was born in Otham in 1859, the second daughter of William Richard Moorcraft and Mary Ann Flanagan. She married Alfred John Peters, a baker from Chatham, at Frindsbury Parish church on 18 October 1879.  The son of John Peters

In the 1881 census Mary Ann is shown as a married woman at her parents address, while Alfred is nowhere to be seen. I can find no trace of either, or evidence of any children born to them after this date

It is certainly possible and I have a few matches at the 6C and 7C level.  Two 6C at 20 and 30 cM to the family line mentioned below.However, even the 5C level doesn't give consistent matches.

I have 6 matches to descendants of my GGGGF's daughter at the 9-21 cM level, all though one of her sons. This daughter is also my wife's GGGGGM and she has a similar number of matches but all through different children!
I also have a small cluster of 6 descendants (5C-5C2R) in the 9-11 cM range who are all descended from one individual, who emigrated to the US. This individual being a grandson of my GGGGF's youngest son. Yet I have no confirmed matches to descendants of the 10 other children of the youngest son.

Bedfordshire / Re: Samuel Norman of Woburn

There are five baptisms in Bow Brickhill for an Edward and Elizabeth between 1786 and 1799 - I'm assuming this Edward either stopped having children or stopped baptising them.  No idea which.

That Edward could be the one buried on 13 Jun 1831 but there is no burial in Bucks that seems to match an Elizabeth who had children in that period. And neither Bucks nor Beds marriage indexes show a marriage of Edward Norman to an Elizabeth!

The Edward and Elizabeth (Garrett) are my ancestors. He was from Simpson she from Ridgmont where they married and had all their children. They appear to have none in the period they were removed to Simpson.
Edward had two brothers named George 1768-1778 and 1780-1804, both buried in Simpson on 30/8/1778 and 17/5/1804. Their other brother Richard settled in Loughton

Non-conformist baptisms are an interesting possibility and some registers are certainly available online.
However, my exploration of Normans in that area of North Bucks only identifies two living Edward Normans in the late 18th Century. My GGGF Edward b Simpson 1775 and Edward b Fenny Stratford 1747 who appears to have married Mary Curties on 30/4/1770 at Newton Longville. I have not found any baptisms to that couple,
There is also an Edward Norman buried 13 Jun 1831 at Bow Brickhill age 76 but with no corresponding baptism or marriage records that I can see
