Anyone want to have a guess at the date on this one?
I have a feeling it would be 40's as well, but it could also be quite earlier

Neat, thanks
My family seemed to think the first image was from WWI, but I guess that just shows how much we know  ;D

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / London Photographs - Wright Family
« on: Wednesday 22 April 20 07:11 BST (UK)  »
This is a real long shot, but I have a couple of photos here I am trying to guess the age on.



I have done some research for this one and it seems to be in front of the "Statue of Havelock" in Trafalgar Square. I believe the boy is either Edward, Frederick or Arthur Wright. They were born in 1902, 1904 and 1908 respectively. I am just guessing but this photo might be in the 1910's due to the uniform. Then again it might be from WWII and I am just clueless  :)



This photo was found in my great grandfathers belongings when he died, they might be his parents but not sure

I understand this may not be possible, but educated guesses are welcome :)

Photos are almost certainly from London and surrounding areas.

Interesting, thanks everyone.

I'll let her know we probably aren't related, just statistical noise.
She thought it was a sure thing since it said I was related to her mother as well.

DNA is weird.

Oh, well I'm not too interested in finding out a Family Tree way of seeing how we match, it doesn't interest me too much since I know it would be far too much work.

It was mostly querying the accuracy of such low CM matches. Could it match you with someone you aren't related to at all?

There is a girl I work with who comes out to a DNA match of 8cm with myself. I am also a DNA match of her mothers as well.

My Parents have taken the DNA test too but are not related to her.

Are 8cm just statistical anomalies that you are probably not related to because the CM is too small?

"Shared Matches" on Ancestry won't show any names with less than 20cm DNA in common with you or him.

He probably shares less than 20 with those people

London and Middlesex / Re: Douglas Arthur Wright

I received the certs today:

Emma Brazier: https://i.imgur.com/kFAllCG.png - Having difficulty reading this one with the Rank / Profession, not sure if this one matches up.

William Wright: https://i.imgur.com/tKkMC4D.png - Based on the signature of the Widow, I don't believe this one to be correct.

Oh well, was worth a shot.

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: Unexpected results using Gedmatch

Do these matches have the same contact person?
Yes.

Those are likely links of an uncle or aunt to a niece or nephew, or a grandparent to a grandchild, half siblings, or double first cousins.
The top looked progenitor/offspring to me. Followed by half sibling. Followed by half nieces/nephews. That was what I was thinking of the results.


When I transferred from the usual Gedmatch to Genesis, It brought up about a dozen bizarre matches which were an error.

You could identify them because, although they showed on the one-to-many list, some very high up my table ( 9 in the top 70), if you went further, and did a 1-to-1 match comparison, it told you you had 0 cM of common DNA.  I had to email gedmatch, and they resolved the problem!!

In the attachments of my 2nd post are a couple of the 1-to-1 comparisons. They're consistent with the one-to-many match results; very high in cM count.

I'm still somewhat expecting (hoping?) it to be an error of some kind.

Have you emailed them?

Probably not an error.
