Thanks Mark for the suggestion. I have also found lots of Scorers in Darton (Sara's family) so am looking into them. I managed to confirm quite a lot of  ancestors in other lines through wills as well. One was very useful - a man who never married but had several siblings and hence a lot of nephews and nieces. Not only did he name all his siblings (married women with husband's name too) but said whether they were older or younger. And confirmed the paternity of the illegitimate son of one of his brothers - bonus!

I have a match with 42cM across 3 segments. She has the same uncommon surname as my mother. She has been correctly identified by Ancestry as having common ancestors with me (our 2 x great grandparents). She is definitely my 3rd cousin on my mother's side. Our trees on Ancestry overlap. Our four shared matches have all been identified correctly by Ancestry as being maternal.  But Ancestry designates her as  "unassigned". How does the algorithm work that one out?

Yorkshire (West Riding) / Re: Is this my Richard Depledge?

I have a Richard Depledge baptised 1724 at Sandal Magna s/o John Depledge and Grace nee Jepson, I have tentatively linked him to the Notton one.  John Depledge was baptised in Darton in 1692 son of "my" Richard and Sara Scorer and may be the one buried at Darton in 1740.
So many Depledges and spelling variations  - and not very imaginative on the forenames they gave them

Yorkshire (West Riding) / Is this my Richard Depledge?
« on: Monday 22 April 24 13:44 BST (UK)  »
Richard Depledge and Sara Scorer married at Darton on 14 Nov 1672. Richard was buried in Darton on 25 Mar 1721, occ labourer, residence looks like Broomhouse Green. Sarah was buried on 13 March 1728. Neither record gives age at death, but a feasible baptism for Sara is 16 Jan 1651 d/o Raphe - she would be abt 21 at marriage.
However the only Darton baptism I can find for Richard is 8 May 1658 s/o Richard, the record helpfully has his birth as 8 April, so not a late baptism. This would make him only 14 at marriage - is this likely ? Would a woman of 21 have a relationship with a 14 year old boy? Their first child was baptised 4 months after the marriage - so there might have been some pressure to get married.
Can anyone find an older Richard who would be a better fit?

There is a Kay Brasell b in 1890 d/o George and Amy nee Chivers

Robert Aitken married Barbara Shewan in 1884
can't get anywhere with May Brasell, maybe spelling variations need to be worked through

Good find. A deposition by one of the brothers (looks like he used a diminutive of his second forename on the death notice for Russell) The name used for the other brother probably just a nickname.

So that gives names of Margaret's parents. Should be easier to use NZ BMDs now we have some death dates
