Researching with my cousins paternal side using DNA
Only knew his grandparents names.
Unfortunately there are single mothers on both sides
Trying to go back furthur using DNA
Closest match was anothet person JP whose great grandmother was single
As they.are half 2nd cousins . I had to start the connection by labelling their respective grandfathers as first name yorkshire man surmame unknown
There are a group of shared matches whose common ancestor is William STOTT 1842 of Barnsley .
I will set out DNA workings to how we came to conclusion that "yorkshire man"
Is ;
William.STOTT single b 1870 Barnsley
foundry worker
Question would a foundry worker be likely to travel to Durham & Southsheilds
Most records have him.livimg with his parents in Barnsley except 1890 ...electoral rolls have him in a dwellimg house
