Thanks

We had that. We also know from another DNA match that my person can’t descend from the 3rd son listed.

We believe they descend from the eldest son on that plaque. Just need confirmation of that persons wife which we hoped we could get on an obituary as they have more information usually.

I guess another option is to look for an obituary of the youngest son who died in 2010(Kevin)

Thanks Sue.

The request as above is now where we are at so my subject could potentially be in contact with their grandparents. We believe we know what the grandmothers first name is and we know who the grandfathers parents are.

Thanks Sue

I didn’t think this gave us any new information.

Australia / Obituary lookup please Victoria

Following on from my previous request, we’ve been able to identify the son of Bertha May Beadle.

He was born in 1935 and I can’t locate his death so won’t mention him here. But he married Betty Joan Jessop in 1954 and she is died 24-5-1989 in Clayton Victoria.

We’ve identified that they are the great grandparents of my DNA searcher and we believe we have some minor information on a daughter-in-law who would be the wife of one of their sons and the grandparents we are seeking.

Help.

TIA

We are waiting on a death certificate. If that fails, then an obituary for William, Ivan or Bertha may help.

Some authors on ancestry show 3 living so unnamed offspring.

Australia / Bertha May Beadle - Obituary help please
« on: Thursday 08 June 23 02:45 BST (UK)  »
Bertha May Beadle was born Brighton Victoria 1911. Died Victoria 1968.

She married Ivan Vallance 1930. By mid-1930's she had left him an he was advertising for her whereabouts. She was living with William Percival Rodgers by 1943 in NSW. In 1950 she married him.

Apart from a few Electoral Roll records, the two of them are hard to track down.

My contact should descend from a child of Ivan and Bertha, but we suspect grew up thinking they were a child of William P Rodgers.

We would be particularly interested in her obituary or a grave record which we can not find on line.

Dumfriesshire / 9 North Street Annan
« on: Tuesday 10 May 22 16:10 BST (UK)  »
My great great grandfather’s gravestone in the Annan cemetery reads that he died at 9 North street early in 1901.

His death certificate and the 1891 census also recorded the same address.

I’ve looked online at the old maps of the time and can not find a building to match.

Based on the current street numbers and the old maps, I can see that the buildings at 1,3,5 and 7 still exist. Each of these buildings carry names(and not numbers) on the old maps. 9 is probably where the athletic stadium now stands.

My questions relate to if the street numbers from 1890/1900 would match with today’s numbers?

What would the purpose of giving a street address on a grave be when it doesn’t relate to a fancy name if a house etc?

Family legend claims some connection to Robbie Burns, but he lived in North street a long time before(?) And based on the location of the plaque I believe is in the street, it would have been near numbers 2 or 4(from memory)

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: A hypothetical 3,500cM match

I'm probably creating a rod for my own back but I recently convinced Mr Zaph to pay for a DNA test for himself, even though he isn't really interested in my hobby. We've been together for a million years, but I was teasing, asking him what he would feel like if he discovered that he had an unknown son or daughter from his misspent youth. He assures me he didn't have a misspent youth, and was, let's say, careful in this area. I just wondered, gentlemen, what you would do if you discovered in your later years that you had an unknown child? The way I see it is that if it was a child of a long-term girlfriend you would have heard about it and it might be disruptive to your current situation to make contact with a previous girlfriend and if it was a child of, let's say, a one night stand, would you actually be interested in hearing from the child? 

Zaph

My wife is adopted and we used ancestry to find her father.

We found him via her matches to his cousins and then contacted him and his daughter on social media. The daughter is my wife’s half sister.

She didn’t really understand what we were researching and eventually gave us her dads phone number.

We called him and initially my wife wanted to know if he remembered her mother. He said he didn’t and so it took a while to agree to a DNA test.

His reasoning was ,”there was a lot of girls back then and I can’t rule out anything “!

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: NPE help needed...
« on: Thursday 12 August 21 14:40 BST (UK)  »
In my Mother's DNA matches I have found six matches with a common surname but no connection with our family names. Building a tree for them seems to show that their earliest common ancestor is William E born 1793 in Essex.

So I'm thinking that either his father wasn't an E or his father fathered my ancestor around the same time but I was wondering if there is any way I can work out which way round it was?

TIA,
Richard

If you’ve got 6 matches that have a common ancestor and therefore you likely share that same ancestor, then your ancestor has to be the problem.

Do you have any other common DNA matches to your ancestor who is probably out of the picture?

As an example, my wife has a common DNA match from her Duncan ancestors, whose tree suggest she should have a mcginnity at that position. That person shares no DNA matches through her Mcginnity family from her tree. Clearly grandma mcginnity(née something else) has had a relationship with grandpa Duncan
