Mam's Welsh back into the 1600s. Ancestry says I'm 55% Irish?
« on: Saturday 11 June 16 15:16 BST (UK) »
Ancestry test says:

Irish. 55%
Scandinavian. 30%
Great Britain. 5%
Iberian. 6%
European Jewish 3%

My Mam's family is well documented back to the early 1700s so why no mention of "Wales"?

My father's paternal line is Suffolk back to the early 1600s but his ancestors had a habit of marrying Colleens☘
Thomas, Davies, Jones, Walters, Daniel in Carmarthenshire and Ceredigion. That should narrow it down a bit!
Vincent: Fressingfield, Suffolk, Stockton & Sunderland.
Murtha/Murtaugh: Dundalk & Sunderland
Ingram: Cairnie by Huntly, Scotland then Abergavenny, Monmouthshire.
Bardouleau: London - in memory of my stepmother Annie Rose née Bardouleau who put up with a lot from me.

I guess as it says 'Great Britain' it doesn't break it down to Wales, England, Scotland or Northern Ireland. That is a pity

Wales is part of Great Britain.

Unlike the Isle of Wight! ;)

See what you mean. Only 5% GB including Wales. Guess your Welsh ancestors moved in from Ireland or were Vikings.

Cardinalcanary,

Have you seen the entry about the Connon family on the West Tytherley village web site (our history)?
Thomas, Davies, Jones, Walters, Daniel in Carmarthenshire and Ceredigion. That should narrow it down a bit!

Hello.

No I have not seen the info on the Connon? family. That sounds interesting. Is this the link that you are talking about...

http://www.westtytherley.com/history/ht_connons.htm

The Cannons had links with my Carters in Chilbolton and Enos Cannons ended up marrying my GGGM Martha Carter's Barnados girl (Blanche Duckham) in Canada.

Blanche Cannons has an interesting Facebook page to herself which I contribute to.

https://www.facebook.com/BlancheCannons/

Blanche sent photos of her family in Ameliasburgh, Ontario back to my family in England. They included photos of Blanche's best friend (another Barnardos girl) Sarah Annie Stephens who married Bob Cannons from West Tytherley.
