Hi - I have some information regarding this. How do I contact the original poster? I cannot seem to find the message function and the web site they refer to is invalid.
Thanks

Hi JemB66 that would be me - you can message me if it is not a public message

Thanks Hulme-Griff, thats very interesting- I believe the Bailey that was DNA tested was from Haplogroup J but it would be good to get some more tests done. Coincidentally I see from your names in your signature you have connections with Totton and Lymington......we used to live in Totton and my wife worked in Lymington....small world  :)

Staffordshire / Black men of Biddulph Moor (BAILEY, BROOKS, NIXON)
« on: Wednesday 26 October 16 15:08 BST (UK)  »
I've been researching the above topic and am particularly keen to hear from anyone with a working knowledge of the BROOKS, NIXON & BAILEY surnames of Biddulph Moor in North Staffordshire.

I am trying to link these families to those of Middleton by Wirksworth in Derbyshire - all three names are associated via an unusual DNA haplogroup in MbyW and the only place I've ever encountered these surnames so prominently in close proximity is here at Biddulph Moor.

The DNA link is particularly relevant as the Hg in question is an predominantly African DNA.....hence my interest in the legend of the Black men of the area and the Crusade origin - as the date of the crusade in question links nicely too - I suspect there may be more than a coincidental link.

If anyone is connected to these surnames in this place and especially if you were a part of a BBC DNA research programme some years ago please contact me.

Buckinghamshire / Re: Gertrude Harris 1875

Hi - 'my' Gertrude married William G Staggs in 1908 and had two children Lilian and William G - she was born in Winslow and died in Essex. I'm afraid this is all I have so any additional info would be a great help.

Hi - I'd be interested to hear from anyone connected to the Harris family of Winslow - particularly if they have a connection to Gertrude

New Zealand Completed Requests / Re: Maria Frances Langley (Brunton)
« on: Saturday 14 September 13 12:32 BST (UK)  »
Hi Just wondered if you'd ever come across a Annie Maria Langley born in India but with connections to Kent (interesting to see the Maria name) - I know she married a Charles Hinchcliffe a Sgt in the W Yorks Rgt and that she was school teacher - I think her and Charles retired to Nottinghamshire - they had a son in 1899 called Herbert who I am particularly interested in and who possibly died in Wrexham - would be very pleased to hear from anyone who might be able to tell me more,

Regards
