Lancashire / Re: Richard Hearn - Manchester/Liverpool
« on: Friday 26 December 25 20:29 GMT (UK)  »
I recognise Hearn as a traveller name. The different birth locations suggest they were moving around, which I would expect with entertainers. Maybe travellers before entertainers. On www.romaheritage.co.uk/parish-records there are 28 Hearn records from 1670 to 1871. There are also 3 newspaper records, though all are earlier than te information you are presently considering.

From the BMD records, if you place ‘draper’ in the Filter Text there are 39 records from 1709 to 1861. Most are Baptisms, 7 Burials and 2 Marriages.
There is only Elizabeth Rainbow bp. Aug 26, 1827 at Clifton Reynes, Buckinghamshire.
For Webb, there are 5 Baptism records from 1699 to 1841
Their Census records has one Draper family of 3 individuals on the 1871 census in Ruislip, London.
All of these records are recorded as travellers.
Added: Newspaper article: 3rd April 1782, George and Charles Draper were executed. There is nothing on their database for Rainbow or Webb.

Monmouthshire / Re: THOMAS EVANS & AMELIA NEAT
« on: Tuesday 18 November 25 20:13 GMT (UK)  »
From FreeREG . They usually offer the place and county, but not this record though it was under Monmouthshire.
St Mary the Virgin Parish Register
Marriage: 17 Jul 1825 . Thomas Evans . Amelia Neat
There is a St Mary Virgin church in both Monmouth and Abergavenny, but there are others also in Monmouthshire. Ancestry may have evidence, or made an assumption.
Monk Street, Monmouth NP25 3DW
In Abergavenny it is also known as St Mary’s Priory.

Thanks for your comments. I find the use of alias frustrating and having opened the GEDCOMs many have three generations and all are HIDDEN. My reason for asking was the general apathy regarding a lack of numbers and the small percentage who respond once contacted. I am still undecided if I should leave my DNA on GedMatch, or delete, but looking more to delete.

I am aware of the hack, just the basics, and changes GedMatch made regarding emails and you can decline police access, but I do not know how secure that now makes the site. Like with most hacks it is too late when the company should have been proactive, and sorry seems insufficient, so I can understand why some have closed their accounts. I am not with Ancestry and not paying for the GedMatch tools. Although I have had a few 2nd or 3rd cousin matches from the 2024 burst that I can place in my tree, when there is so little activity I have seen no point in adding to the free service.

Those uploading to GedMatch seem to be shrinking. April 2024 I had four new matches in the top ten, which I assume were from Christmas presents having been processed. There were also regular relatives added albeit distant. By April 2025 there was nothing, and hardly any new matches before or since. From the scare stories I can understand why fewer test kits as bought as presents, but many are still being tested, yet they do not seem to be uploading to GedMatch.

Is this just my family, or are others finding the same?

Pembrokeshire / Re: Benjamin Evans help please
« on: Saturday 27 September 25 20:32 BST (UK)  »
He lived in Pembrokeshire much longer than thought and 3 children were born there. If looking for a burial Haverfordwest, Narberth areas would seem better than Pembroke which is the other side of the river. Llanfihangel Penbedw and Llanfair Nant-Gwyn are further inland.
