Hi fellow members, I just thought I would do an update furthermore to what I have found out about the Wallace family.
I have had a DNA test done and the Gt grandniece of Robert Wallace who I found via my searching we are not related so my Real family biological name is not Wallace.
I also have been doing some other reasearch and I noticed a name in my DNA geographic area of a McCune which came up twice in Carrickfergus I messaged a lady and she said that the McCune was linked in her family tree via a man called Caughey this is the message she sent to me.
It ties up between Isabella Shields and Robert Wallace as well.

One possibility is my great grandfather - William John Caughey and our shared cM would allow for a half second cousin relationship. He lived on the Albert Road in Carrick and the date would correlate between the death of my great grandmother in 1910 & him marrying her cousin in 1918. My grandfather was raised by his maternal grandparents & did not have a good relationship with his father. William John was a sailor.
Does anyone know how to make a better link between William J Caughey and that Samuel Shields could infact be his biological son ?
