My information on here is incorrect.
Christina Micheal who married Donald McLeod was the daughter of George Mitchell and Rochel Mathieson.

Ken I have matches that cannot be accounted for if the Smith line was not travelling in England before Ireland.

Hi Ken
I had another look at my dna and the thrulines by ancestry.
People with trees who are descended from Henry Smith and Alice Francis who match my mother 14. There are then many more who match but do not have a tree.
People who descend from a John Smith born 1818 in England and is probably a brother to Henry matches 5. John dies in America.
If I go back a further generation from William 1790 using the dna I get possible brothers for William, Gilbert 1784 who turns up in England, John 1786-1863, Our William 1790-1870 and another I named Smith and added  to my tree As I have no name but descendants.

Hi Ken
I found Henry after doing the dna test. So many matches led back to Henry and so many matches to people in the gypsy camp at Scotlands lane. So many matches to people who were camped on the side of the road. Something was wrong with my well, researched family tree. Wrong grandfather for my mother as the dna showed.
I suspect Henry may have had bipolar disorder but would never be able to prove it. Family members have this.
I have quite a bit on Henry thanks to Jeff Johnston who posts on here.
Can you see my tree on ancestry? Look at the census page then go to pages either side to find William.
Regards
Deb

Hi Ken
My subscription not current with ancestry so I am having a bit of trouble bringing up the information from the census.
I haveWilliam Smith in 1841 in hetton le hole and in 1851 in easington.
He had remarried late in life and had more children to a very young wife.
I have him as born Newry, Ireland but note that many of these travelling families vary their place of birth significantly on different census.
My mother has 554 dna matches to people who interconnect. They have the names Smith, Francis, Mullen, Wharton, Boswell among others in their families.
Some appear to be descendants of William Smith born 1790. He appears to have arrived in the north of England about the same time as Henry. On one census they live very near each other. Both have the same occupation.
Many of the interconnecting dna matches lead to Henry Smith and Alice Francis. Particularly a group that left Durham in the mid 1850 s and travelled across America. some of this group have only given up travelling within the last generation.
Have you a dna test I could check for a match against?

Regards
Deb

Hi Ken
I have Henry’s father as William and that information probably came originally from me. It is speculative. Both Henry and William live near each other in Durham. I have Multipledna matches to descendants of both William and Henry. A shared dna match in America had a dna match to a Smith in London. I followed her tree back and arrived at William.
I also have dna matches that suggest that the Frances and Smith families were already connected before henry and Alice married.
