Evening all,
so my brick wall needs some more chipping at if you can all be so kind in helping me.
i have posted before and think i need a new thread as i have more updates..
https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=823258.msg6864183#msg6864183(hope the link works)
so I now know that Elizabeth Jones middle name is Louisa - its on the burial record - 1st time ive come across the middle name.
Elizabeth Jones b 1830 Berhsam?. married John Smith - but never found marriage cert however possible her sister Frances married John Smith in 1859 and died in childbirth , hence Elizabeth became John Smith "wife".
i have every document right up to me and my siblings from Elizabeth Louisa Jones- apart from marriage. her children and their lines etc.
now I subscribe to Full Ancestry including pro, My Heritage and also FindMyPast.
DNA i manage for my are myself, my full brother, my half brother, half brothers daughter (my niece) , and have access to my 2nd cousins DNA all uploaded to MH apart from 2nd cousins.
now Elizabeth Jones husband - John Smith parents. between us confirmed by Ancestry DNA and connected to me is 7.
now Elizabeth Louisa Jones father presuming from Frances marriage states John Jones labourer.
now my full brother and I on Ancestry DNA matches have this 1 DNA match to her paternal line - through lines - i know how it works. suggests Lewis Jones is the connection and that John jones father is Robert Jones and his dad is Lewis Jones connecting us. - however i cannot confirm those links beyond John to Lewis.
however my half brother has a match also suggesting the same Lewis but totally different person. - and its showing on maternal side - so not our side- although yes ive come across that before been wrong side. but i have managed to connect him to us, with just John and Robert via his Sister Mary Jones connected to Lewis Jones. but floating as unverified.
now on MH all 3 of us plus my half niece all have the DNA match to this 1 DNA (Lewis connection) but match both her parents and to cut a long story short i have connected 37 and counting DNA Matches to her maternal and 30 plus and counting to her paternal side! yes her parents match each other several times - i just cannot connect to me.
now quite alot of these do have shared matches with the John Smith parents i have confirmed. but still not linked direct to me. and some are from Elizabeth Louisa Jones and John Smith daughter line who is my next gt grandmother, and my gt grandfathers line.
So any help out who could be the correct Elizabeth Lousia Jones parents will be very greatly appriciated
many thanks
Weenie
