Hi, thanks for the reply. Fortunately I was able to figure out my link (my biological father) over the last few days.

Thanks you :)

Hi everyone,

So long story short I recently found out that the man I have been calling dad for 43 years is not my dad. Anyway looking at my dna across multiple sites (ancestry, my heritage, family trees a, gedmatch etc I have found that David Jamieson is my great uncle through my paternal line. Meaning he is the uncle to my genetic father. However from my research so far it seems as David was an only child. Which we now know not to be the case. Nevertheless I am hoping someone here might be able to shed some light.
Obviously I feel like I should know who my dad is and vice versa, but it’s more the not knowing of any potential genetic etc health implications for myself and my 2 sons which concerns me.
So any help I will be hugely grateful. I know I am related to a few who have posted here already via my heritage etc so I am hoping you might have some info.

Thanks for your time everyone :)

Basically, I have yet to find any link to the Beaneys on either tree, however I did find members of the Batchelor family on both trees, as the surname Batchelor appears on some lists of Traveller surnames I am wondering if this could be the link?



Hi,

Worth noting that if say the Beaney link came from the female side and was a second marriage for the male, sometimes these can be quite hard to track/make sense of and feel like brick walls especially if they only had 1 child.

All the best in your research. Hope you find the answers you are after. :)

The full census page is here: https://search.findmypast.co.uk/record/browse?id=gbc%2f1861%2f0477%2f00846a

By the 1871 census Pattens Lane only features one schedule and nobody from the travelling community.

Whilst you're deliberating this find "sam", if you open the 'extras' on the bottom R of the screen on FindMyPast = Transcripts. you might like to check/correct the efforts of the transcriber who records the address is Battens Lane, and many of the family have occupations of cutler. Should the latter be cutter?
Easy enough to submit a correction, but it takes time to be re-recorded by FindMyPast support team.

By the way, I always like to use Googlemaps - streetview&satellite imaging.
Here:
https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/Pattens+Ln,+Rochester/@51.375104,0.5094801,588m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x47d8cce03f79a3d1:0x63edae6c3769c8f3!8m2!3d51.3685314!4d0.5148276
If you take a look centre of view it shows Pattens Gardens coming up from the south - still named Pattens Lane. However, you might notice the top end just beyond the junction (R) of Boundary Road it states 'Old Pattens Lane'. Perhaps the whole of Pattens Gardens were once the 'Old' section?

This is brilliant info, thank you so much. :)

Thanks everyone else too :)

Hi everyone,

Just a quick one, does anyone know the name of this place? It is the 1861 census of some family members from Kent and Surrey way. Looks like maybe Rallens Lane but just not sure. I have heard of the other places my relatives have lived but this place I am not sure on so any info (if you have it) would be great.

Have a great Christmas.

Sam :)

I think Dorinda and Richander must be the same person or as you said Dorinda took the name Richander, on a census there is a RICHANDER LEE married to a James Lee, living with Abraham and Susannah. This must be the ''Dorinda'' Emmett that married James Lee.
Do you already have this census?
If not, it says their children are: Ezekiah Lee (b. 1868) and Fairnette Lee (b. 1869) - (probably Fairnetta).
I will check their baptisms for what they put their mothers name as- Dorinder or Richander.
The only thing is, if Dorinda did adopt the name Richander after her sister who died, there would be a birth/baptism for a DORINDA EMMETT too, unless Abraham and Susannah didn't register the birth of her at all (which I have seen a lot with travellers so who knows  ::)).
Will look for the name of the mum on baptisms for Ezekiah and Fairnette and maybe some kind of record of Dorinda's birth  :)

Hi, so I found Fairnettes record. Richender is down as her mum. For some reason her name has been spelled Vanit on the records.

local 597

Seems to be a fair bit of evidence supporting a Richenda (although one was buried) but little suggesting a Dorinda. 🤷‍♂️

You've probably already found this but just in case you haven't:
On Ezekiah's or ''Hezekiah's/Hezakiah's'' it says his mothers name is Richander
Can't find Fairnette's but found one for Abraham Lee mothers name being: Richander

Yes I noticed that too. Very confusing indeed.

I also wondered if Sunna was either Susannah or even Hanna depending on the state of the document/records someone may have read Hannah/Susanna as Sunna. Or maybe I am just clutching at straws at this point haha. :)
