Mystery not who you say you are

Totally agree with river Tyne lass

Re DNA have you colour coded location matches the DNA will be small to descendant of the birth father that far back but you may get a cluster that share with each other and /or have a common name on their tree

Have other members of your family tested ? My cousin and I match a descendant of gggfather at 11cm and 13 cm respectively some of our 2ndC1r also match but my mother who is a generation closer doesn't match.... occasionally there are blimps like that

What an excellent thread with equally excellent combined sleuthing & effort, well done all.

Quite a sad life for the family when you see all the facts, it would make a good book.

Update:

Death certificate for Catherine Cecilia Hicks,
Can anyone read what the cause is please. I can share the whole thing I’m not sure what the guidelines are x

Peritonitis. Appendix bursr

[josey]

In full:
Syncope due to haemorrhage into peritoneal cavity following rupture of extra uterine gestation accelerated by shock of operation. Misadventure [then initials of doctor].

Sounds like an ectopic pregnancy which ruptured during an operation then haemorrhage & shock. How sad.

BTW you were quite right just to post a clip.
