My irish is higher on the face of things, 16 %, think may be a bit on dads side but not too recent but it sortof makes me think that our  suspicions re greatgrandmother bridget which we know nothing other than her first name and says was born in yorkshire about 1863 and was catholic may be right. Funny thing is there's a bridget or 2 in walsall where he settled and one where he boarded! That's considering he came from northampton was supposed to have gone to yorkshire had at least 2 lads  both by different women. There's a gap of 16 years between the lads. You might guess gran dad is from the second. We don't know the first marriage and there's even rumours he went to canada and there's the same area in canada.! Grand dad was told he did n't exist with his either of his surnames when he tried to get his pension. Richardson or blake! We have thought about getting moms cousin from the third relationship to do a dna test at least the fathers the same. Decided to go general first with autosomal.
