Cambridgeshire / Susan LARKINS/STANDEN Gamlingay
« on: Tuesday 30 December 25 08:42 GMT (UK) »
Susan LARKINS was born in 1814 in Gamlingay and married Charles STANDEN there on 5 November 1836. They then lived in Salehurst, Sussex where their 4 children were born. She returned to Gamlingay with her 2 surviving children, Elias born 1841, Barbara born 1851 both born Robertsbridge, after Charles' death in JAnuary 1853.
In the 1861 census they were living at Church Street, Gamlingay but I can find no trace of any of them thereafter

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / WOODSELL Burwash 17th century
« on: Thursday 18 December 25 15:09 GMT (UK) »
I've been startled to discover that the MRCA for a number of 20-30 cM matches of mine are Henry Woodsell (1681-1757) and Elizabeth Weston (1690-1770) of Burwash. These matches are 7C or 7C1R.
I'd be interested to hear from any other DNA descendants of this couple

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: Am I on the right thinking here.

Just to reiterate Biggles' point on GGGP inheritance. While DNA has confirmed many 4C for me I am also aware of two 4C who have their DNA on Ancestry and yet do not show as DNA matches and another who doesn't show as a match to my 1C. There are doubtless a number more who are only revealed as non_DNA matches if they have a tree which refers to their DNA confirmed matches within it.

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: Triangulation conundrum
« on: Sunday 09 November 25 09:56 GMT (UK) »
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!

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.
