Kent / Re: Who is Philadelphia?
« on: Monday 26 August 24 09:54 BST (UK)  »
Im struggling to find Philidelphias baptism on Ancestry.In fact,there seems to be very little info on there.Are you able to see any siblings for Philidelphia?Also,can anyone see a marriage for a William Parris to Mary?
Many thanks.

Thanks for the replies.
I think QueenoftheWest has cracked it,as Paris,and its varients,was one of the surnames i hoped id find.Ive come across Phillis,and Philly,being used in place of Philidelphia.This is a DNA match who shares several matches that go back to Paris/Parris/Parrish,and i was trying to link them up.
I will have a look at her parents,to try and see how she fits in.
Many thanks for the help.

Kent / Who is Philadelphia?

I have a baptism for a George Cork 7th April 1805 Maidstone,to John and Philadelphia.I can find no marriage for these two names.Please can anyone tell me who she was?

Many thanks.

Sussex / Re: Elizabeth Uwens

Thanks for the replies.
I think Harting is unlikely,given the distance.
I think it was legal to marry at 12 back then,so 15 is possible.
Uwens is quite an unusual name.I did wonder if it might be a misspelling of Owens.

Sussex / Elizabeth Uwens
« on: Saturday 27 July 24 11:27 BST (UK)  »
Could anyone please help me establish who this lady was?
She married Benjamin Allen at St Nicholas Church,Brighton,on 31st May 1819.
The 1851 census has her place of birth as Barkham,Sussex in 1804.On the 1861,its Barcombe,and on the 1871,its Chailey.
The only potential birth record i can see is Elizth Uwen on 27th Dec 1801 at Harting,to Thomas and Mary.Being unfamiliar with the area,im not sure about that.And i cant find a Thomas/Mary marriage.
Id be very grateful if anyone can help.

Many thanks.

The Common Room / Re: Why so much Scottish DNA?
« on: Tuesday 09 April 24 16:26 BST (UK)  »
Thanks for all the contributions.
My dads 3xgreat grandmother was Jane Orm(i)ston,born 4th Nov 1798 Beadnell,Northumberland.Its back through her lines that ive found Scottish ancestry.She married John Tilly on 1st August 1820 Boughton under Blean.Ive no idea what brought her South.She died in the same area where she married.
My dads paternal line(my grandad),his paternal ancestors,according to my research,were Huguenots who worked in the Faversham Gunpowder Industry.They married into local East Kent families of many generations standing.Grandads maternal line was also very old Kent families,brickfield workers and farm labourers.
My dads mums lines(my nan),her paternal side Surrey/Sussex,then rural Somerset to long before 1800.Her maternal line,all rural Kent and Sussex,going way back.
This is why i cant understand 29% Scottish,unless my research is wrong.There do seem to be quite a lot of DNA matches who only go back to Scotland.

Lee,

The Common Room / Why so much Scottish DNA?
« on: Saturday 06 April 24 15:29 BST (UK)  »
My dads DNA has come back as 29% Scottish,but the only line i can find that goes North of the Border is a single 7xgreat grandfather born in Kelso in 1659.Would that be enough to provide that level of Scottish DNA,or is it likely ive got something wrong,or things are not as they seem from the records.
Any thoughts appreciated.

TIA.

Kent / Re: James Jacob marriage.
« on: Monday 04 March 24 19:50 GMT (UK)  »
Thanks for the response.I think its a bit late and too far.My family is mostly spread between Faversham and Dover.Im really struggling to confirm anything back beyond my 4xgreat grandparents James Jacob and Mary Ann Smith.Ive got DNA confirmation for Mary Ann.I think my James is the one baptised in Faversham 28th Feb 1802 to James and Mary,but ive got no Rickard DNA,so im a bit uneasy about it.

Lee.
