The Common Room / Re: Death of Monica Leslie
« on: Today at 10:16 »
I too am very sorry to read this sad news. Monica was a great researcher. Her kindness shone through her posts which were always so supportive and helpful. I always enjoyed contributing to a thread in which Monica was involved. She will indeed be sorely missed.

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: Pro Tools Criteria for Listing Matches in a Shared Match List
« on: Monday 09 February 26 11:49 GMT (UK)  »
You can compare shared matches with and without pro tools by using the Ancestry app.
Pro tools are not on the app. As a result many matches on there simply say you do not have any matches yet.

Argyllshire / Re: Alexander Graham and Ann Campbell

i would echo Forfarian's comments.

This would appear to be a transcription of the death in question from Familysearch. Here her age is given as 80 and her parents are shown as John Campbell and Mary Carmichael. Looking at Scotland's People it is probably the death showing in Tarbert RD (index has mmn as Campbell).

I wonder if this is your chap. There is a Johnston family recorded at Middlestots in the parish of Edrom in the 1841 census. This includes a William Johnston age 14. I cannot see him in 1951 but this could be a family worth exploring. Below is the census entry from Freecen.

I should have added that she may have abandoned him!

It may also suggest ,S.S, that the 1857 article I posted does refer to the Hugh and Jane being looked at. The address on this birth cert is Trimdon. The assault  case was at Castle Eden Sessions which appear to have dealt with cases from Trimdon.

If indeed this is correct it would narrow down the time period to look for Jane's death.

The Common Room / Re: Ancestry, a year in review.

I am also a hint hero! I was interested to see that I have received 1,701 new matches this year - unfortunately I suspect that the vast majority of these are under 20cM!
