Megan and Gail,

This might seem an odd question, but have either of you taken a DNA test?

I ask because I have a long standing Brickwall with my Paternal Grandfather, who says (on Censuses) that he was William James Wilson, born Manchester 1860.

I’ve never been able to find him anywhere before he married my Grandmother Margaret Rees in Swansea in June 1893.

I do however have DUNN DNA matches on Ancestry and other Sites.

No worries Megan,

It’s a bit of a longshot anyway!

Thanks for letting me know though.

Romilly.

Hi Megan, David didn’t have Wilson in his name at birth, he took that from his fathers name..Gail

[Gail Carr]

Hi Romilly, my Dunn family were Irish, if that helps you at all, Gail

Hi Romilly, my Dunn family were Irish, if that helps you at all, Gail

Thanks Gail, - yes, I have Irish Dunn DNA matches, but I have no idea how I match to them...

I’m pinning my hopes on the 1921 Census throwing some light on my elusive Grandfather!

Romilly.
