London and Middlesex / Re: Drayton? in Middlesex?

For anyone following this thread or who stumbles upon it through Google (like I did) - a DNA test I had done pretty much confirms that Elizabeth Ing is the right person. The test reports that I had a " grandparent who was 100% Scandinavian. This person was likely born between 1740 and 1830."
That is Elizabeth Ing.
That is Elizabeth Ing.
I have discovered something very useful. Sometimes all good things come to those who wait. I have been using FamilySearch.org to track and record my family tree. For one, it is free and viewable by any family members who are interested. The information will always be there because genealogy is an important thing for the Mormons. More important is that it is crowd sourced. Information that is put in a family tree is checked by others and it is added to. Have you seen the junk in Acestry.com trees that just keeps replicating? Yikes!
The "waiting" part, aside waiting for others to add to one's work, is that the program itself seems to run an algorithm every once in a while that will automatically add people to your family tree. That is what happened with the "Ing" family.
I added Elizabeth Ing as the correct spouse to Jonathan Hastings. Several days later when I checked back magically all the people you are searching so hard for were added to the tree. Goes back as far as Marke Ingwald who married Ann in 1674.
You can see it all with a free account at familysearch.orgBecause there seems to be more information available we may have been led totally off base by looking in the Berkshire direction for Hastings especially looking at Hagbourne which is 30 miles away from Little Marlow. There are other candidates in Buckinghamshire that are closer. There is a William Hasting who marries Elizabeth Turner (or "Turnr." ) in West Wycombe in 1725 a mere 6 miles away. I am sure there are more Hastings in the area just that the info isn't readily available. There is also some in Wendover which is 16 miles away. William "Haston" b. 1725 to William and Mary.
Yikes, this is not going to be easy.
The water is certainly getting muddier Doug, I'm hoping more info coming on line will help me with a Hill associated Ing line, I have three consecutive Ing families for whom in spite of two searches by the Bucks Family History site in their database, plus searches in surrounding counties where possible, the marriages remain a mystery.
Mark Ing to Ann c1673, 1st known child An baptised 1675.
William Ing to Mary c1715, 1st known child John baptised 1718.
William Ing to Mary c1742, 1st known child Ann baptised 1744.
All known children of those three families were baptised in Long Crendon, Bucks
So I guess we can expect some more muddying of the water in the years to come.
I'm now in the process of looking at Charlotte Louisa Russell versus Charlotte Webb.
