Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: Ancestry - subscription needed to see shared matches
« on: Wednesday 27 December 23 08:55 GMT (UK) »
I wish Ancestry would require anyone who wants to use 'bonus features', e.g. shared matches, for free to have a linked tree with more than 3 non-private ancestors!

The Common Room / Re: Is it possible to trace this British birth in France, c. 1844?
« on: Tuesday 04 April 23 08:56 BST (UK) »One possible explanation for their presence in Barentin could well be the building of the Barentin Viaduct, begun in 1844, built by British contractors, begun in 1844.

There's a bit more information about British workers on the French railways in the 1840s here:

My 3ggreat-uncle James Turner was one of them.
