Samuel Stubbs, builder of Hull
« on: Sunday 22 December 19 14:02 GMT (UK) »
Has anyone who's had a DNA test found a connection back to Samuel Stubbs, a builder, who died in Hull on 3rd August 1818 aged 61?  I have lots of circumstantial evidence linking my 3xG grandfather to him, but can find no proof.  It is possible Samuel was born in York, the son of John Stubbs, a basketmaker.

Hi,

This is probably a long shot but I have Stubbs in my tree - a major line as my paternal grandmother was a Stubbs. The forename Samuel is one that they used quite a lot.

However, they were from Staffordshire/Shropshire and I don't know of any connection to Hull or York.

I have tested my DNA with Ancestry. If you are also with Ancestry DNA and would like to give me your username on there (by PM if you'd prefer) I can check to see if you and I share a DNA match.

Hello Jill

Thanks for replying.  My user name on Ancestry is MisterStubby.  I'm aware that there were a lot of Stubbs' in Staffordshire.  I've not found a link with them, but I'm grateful to you for offering to have a look.

Best wishes

Peter

Sorry, Peter, no luck I'm afraid.  I checked my 3 brothers' matches as well (I persuaded them to test!!) but couldn't find a match.

Oh well, worth a try! I hope you find him.
