Apologies, but how does a DNA test prove that Sarah Ogram (nee Rolfe) was a daughter of William Rolfe (Jnr) and Mary Preston?

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: DNA Why I urge caution
« on: Friday 15 November 19 11:04 GMT (UK)  »
I have been in correspondence with someone who discovered via a DNA test that her father was not her biological father!!! What a dreadful shock that must have been! The person no longer carries out any family research.

If you input the following info into your search engine, up will come all the girls called Mary born/baptised in Cotton, Suffolk between 1800 & 1810 but no Howard or Hayward!

A branch of the Berry family had moved to Brook Street, Lambeth, Surrey (London!) by 1861? You will find 9 members of the family including  grandchildren, Henry & Sophia Ellis (possibly children of John Ellis & Mary Ann Berry  married 1845)

Suffolk Lookup Requests / Staff & Roe -Thorndon & Redlingfield
« on: Monday 30 September 19 11:20 BST (UK)  »
An Eliza Staff (born Thorndon c1840) married a miller, William Roe (born Redlingfield 1824) at Linton, Cambridge in 1868 as his 2nd wife. I believe it was this Eliza who was employed by the Soper family of Gibson Square, Islington in 1861. William's first wife (& Eliza's elder sister)was Rachel Staff (born c1821) married October 24th 1849 at Linton, she died childless in 1867.
By 1881 the family were living at Sawston Mill, Cambridge.
As usual the census records are inconsistent with the spelling of surname, birth dates & birth places.
June 6th 1841 the dwelling appeared have 12 "Staff" family & 5 "Heyhoe" family
In 1851 (FMS has Eliza and her family under the surname of "Stuff") are living with "grandparents" sic parents? Stephen (1783-1869) & Mary.
Martha Staff was living there with her new & younger husband Robert Stringer!
In April 1871 Mary Staff was living with her "Thrower" grandchildren, she died aged 84 later that year.

Wiltshire / Matthew Gerrish -1851/1861/1871 Melksham
« on: Wednesday 11 September 19 16:48 BST (UK)  »
Matthew Gerrish married twice! Mary his first wife born in Bombay, India c1830 died in 1853; James was their son - born 1850. Matthew married second wife Ellen Jordan October 11th. Matthew died in 1882.
You will find him & his family on all E&W census from 1841 to 1881 under the name of Gerrish in 1861 his surname was erroneously recorded on some census records as "Gavish"
