The Common Room / King George III Rumour
« on: Tuesday 22 August 23 16:03 BST (UK) »
Hi all,
I am researching my late husband's family tree for my children and there has been a story passed down that they are related to King George III via his daughter Princess Elizabeth. Apparently she had an illegitimate daughter called Eliza (b. 1814) who was fostered by a family called Turner.
I have gone back to Eliza Turner (b. 1814) who married John Craigdallie of Perth. I found her in the 1851 census (she is now Eliza Mark - b. 1814 in Deptford, Kent) so she exists and everything matches that we have been told but obviously how do we find out if she was fostered or if she was in fact royal?
Any help or guidance would be appreciated. My son has got his DNA on Ancestry if that helps do you think?
Thank you in advance,
Lisa Lade
