Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: signature on a photograph
« on: Wednesday 23 March 22 16:47 GMT (UK)  »
Personally I think it may say Texas like has been suggested previously.
It could be a nickname i agree with that statement. However It seems to end a little abrupt for me to think it could be a person's name without signing something like "love  ....."  but that's just an opinion. The context is what's most important I would surmise.

It may say To Josie at the beginning.
As for the signed word that's really puzzling me lol.

The 1st letter looks closer to the "T"
above it at the beginning.

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: Whats highest cm match to parents line who doesn't actually match your parent
« on: Monday 21 March 22 14:29 GMT (UK)  »
I am intrigued to know what you find out on this. Ancestry were very helpful when I asked them on their chat feature some dna questions I had.
It was to do with having dna matches to people I don't match dna with.
An individual in my tree may have a different father.
That  individual in my family has matches to another family and it shows them to be my dna matches with me when they aren't. Ancestry told me the system will show all as my dna matches.

I am not sure if this happens to all half family members in my entire tree who are related to other families.
This would be very confusing if true.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Help to decipher this name please!
« on: Wednesday 16 March 22 09:56 GMT (UK)  »
I don't think there is an "i" in it because he clearly shows certain punctuation dots when needed. The only dot I can see that could constitute a dotted "i" in this is too high up the signature.

The letter "F" like suggested before is a real contender based on the other document you provided, I think it's a marriage certificate. There is evidence of the same written "F" on that document so it may be wise to analyse the way other letters and words are written in the same church by the same priest or documents your comparing at least for extra clues.

Watch it be something totally different lol. 🙂

Hi tilly.
I think the clues will be there we just have to be patient i suppose with what we learn :)
I have had the same experience as you with the same places and names.
I build a lot of trees but I don't keep ones other than my own generally,
I like to spend sometime with the dna results and look forward to finding clues that way.
Have you taken your Ancestry dna test?
if so do you filter your results to show for Whittaker surnames in dna results and then just look at the persons that have the least surnames you relate to that must include at least Whittaker.

My Tattersall family were from same place.
Hey Head, Stacksteads.
Acrehill, Edgeside.
Lolly Mile, Newchurch.
Boothfold.
They married in to the
Hacking & Kibble families.
My earliest ancestor is:
Henry Tattersall (Mason)
B. Abt 1787, Newchurch
D. 28 Apr 1834, Edgeside
Married: Mary
Children:
James Tattersall
B. 21 Dec 1832, Edgeside
D. Feb 1903, Haslingden
Married: Mary Ann Hacking
15 Jul 1855, St Nicholas Church,
Rossendale.

From the advice and comments above I will myself need to look into the Manchester archives at the St Nicholas Church records to get more information.

There is an Ann Whittaker living with my 3x great grandparents James Tattersall & Mary Ann Hacking in the 1861 census.
She were B. 1840, Newchurch.
I mention this as an example of the dense families and their connections.
