David,
I had to lower the limit to get a match with you. My sister and I both match you on Chr13 start-109 end-111. The matches I have in that segment could possibly be of Scottish ancestry. If not they have to be Cornish. I have two other matches with you that have to be either background as well. Does this fit in with what you know?
I also have a kit not related to me that has an 8.1cM match on Chr17 that is probably 100% Irish.

[DavidG02]

Yes, I have both strong Scottish and Cornish backgrounds

Muirhead , Mutrie line in Midlothian. Some Gentles/Poe/Orr as well

Cornwall is Jenkin/s the S added in SA. Tressider, Gill, Wills, Pascoe, Bishop
 

Most of both of these lines are back to late 1790s to early 1800s. ie Jenkin/s into Adelaide by 1851. Muirheads the same as well as the Gentle side into Victoria/Yambuk

There is also a Thomas/Collings that ironically married into the Gentles Scottish side

Funny thing is the Hocking in your list could be related to my son on my wifes side

Thanks David,
Given that our connection is small and so far back it could be any of the Cornish names you mention. I have most of them but none as main lines. Speaking of irony, Robert McIntosh was my Scot. Somehow he was in Cornwall in the 1861 census, married a local and headed out to Australia. He and his forebears and Cornwall make up my mother's entire ancestry.
My Hockings are a quite specific line. William H and Sarah Johns came out here in 1858 with seven of their nine sons. There is a Hocking Descendants Society if your son is interested.

Thanks Spike

My son connects to  Hocking through Richard Thomas Kneebone and Elizabeth Jane Hocking. Elizabeth from Cambourne and Richard from Gwennap.

Then as far as I am able to find  Richard then married a niece or sister of Elizabeth. Or may have just been a random Hocking.

Hello Julenz,

I am obviously missing something here. If you and I have a "match" then it will appear on my list of matches at Gedmatch.
I may be lazy - well, okay, I am lazy - but why should I go through a list of names and kit numbers here on RootsChat, when it has already been done for me on Gedmatch.
I am not getting at you - there are many forums where the same question is asked, or where the list exists and can be added to. I just don't see why.
Thank you
Jean ( a fellow NZer)

Jean,
I probably agree with you about the usefulness of such a list of kit numbers on a general forum like this. Maybe if pinned to a more targeted Board such as Cornwall or even NZ, there could be some value.
I assume one of the forums you are referring to with such a list is the DNA Aust/NZ Facebook Group (I think I've seen your name in the members list). I can't see much point in people with new kits on GEDmatch calling out their numbers or anyone else responding. Surely they would find each other anyways.
