London and Middlesex / Re: 1851 census
« on: Wednesday 04 September 19 20:17 BST (UK)  »
Ripper was very kindly researching the Williams family for me. William Williams was my great great grandfather.

Since 2014 I have found two more children (born May 1848 and July 1852) of William and Ann Williams and both birth certificates give the family's address as 28 St John Street Road, Clerkenwell. It seems reasonable to assume that the family was living there for the 1851 census but I have checked the entry and for that address and it lists two families, neither of them Williams. My conclusion is that the enumerator either missed them or mislaid the sheet on which he recorded their details before drawing up the schedule.

Can I ask tomm where you found the information in your post of 9 July 2014, particularly William's age in 1839? I thought I'd found all the relevant directories but none gives ages so I'd love to know where you got his age from. It may well have come from my own tree (N D D Williams 2011) on Ancestry but I'd like to be sure. Many thanks.

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: S27900 marker

Thank you, Llanfi.

I'm also in the Williams, Williamson, Welsh Patronymics and R P312/subclades projects. I've followed your suggestion about adding Wales to my Direct Paternal Ancestor - I had already given Wales as his country of origin, but that didn't appear on the FTDNA project charts. I hope this is what you mean - if not, please let me know.

I understand that the chances of YDNA helping to break down the wall at my paternal g-g-grandfather are slim, but at least I've found a few distant cousins in the US and who knows what the future will bring as others test positive for the S27900 marker?

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: S27900 marker

I come very late to this thread, having only just joined RootsChat. I'm pretty sure I've communicated by email with winmeek (or one of his relations), but not with the others on the thread. I am FTDNA kit 559793 and YSEQ kit 20882. On the Big Tree I am shown below SNP Y81518 but on FTDNA's Big Y block tree I am still below R-BY19604 because I tested for Y81518 on YSEQ to save having to pay for the BigY700 upgrade. It was winmeek or a relation who kindly alerted me to the fact that three close matches who had upgraded to BigY700 showed the Y81518 marker.

I'm afraid I have nothing to add to the thread itself - my experience of DNA is very limited - but I want to contact Llanfihangel as we are relatively close on the Big Tree and we both still live in the UK. My closest DNA matches (Williamson, Danse, Smith) are all US-based and as far as I know were unaware of their probable Welsh roots until they did the Big Y test. I cannot use the PM system until I have posted three times and I'm not sure if this counts as one or if I have to start a thread. One way or another, I'll be in touch with you, Llanfihangel, if I may. If any of the others have any helpful comments relating to my DNA tests do please say so.
