Great to see so many replies but 24 pages are too much for me to read today 

I have had my DNA taken and also got one of my Brothers to do the male line for me.
I also got one of my Sons to take it so that I had an idea of what it was all about.
I am a pensioner and didn't feel it was too expensive   I only did the 12 ancestors
but it would be nice to go further back.
I had done my family history before the DNA tests were done.  So I do know that most
of my family on nearly every name are from Yorkshire.  In fact I think we must own Yorkshire
My foreigner as I call him is my Great Granddad on my maternal side and he comes from
Cumbria and a few hundred years back from Scotland and that family were border Reivers.
I decided to do the DNA test having seen people mention it here on Rootschat.

I unable to give all the tech names but the gist of it all was very interesting.
I am from a family on my Mothers side who were probably Vikings and they travelled
there from Africa, up through Saudi Arabia, through Turkey and then exciting for me
through Macedonia.  I have always imagined in my mind I was from the men of Alexander.
We then continued on and seem to have gone through Germany up to Norway/Sweden
and then landed in Ireland and over to England. That's a journey and a half.   
That gave me another like in that my halpogroup or whatever its called lol, is H
which makes me from the 4th daughter of Eve called Helen. 
My Dads line come from Africa and then through Saudi Arabia and then along to Morocco
and up through Spain or France to England.  Which is probably why he had a fantastic
tanning skin.  He could look nearly black in a day out fishing lol.
So I was happy to see the few DNA matches I have and get more new matches from
my sons DNA, then my Brothers some living in the USA  and only 5 for mine in England
and one in Ireland.
My research on paper goes back to 1550, 1650, 1473, 1491 in 4 of my  main names.

When I win the lottery I will go back further than 12 to get closer links to my families
DNA.

p.s.  On my maternal line I have two numbers with only 20 points difference. The other numbers
and letters are the same.  Does this mean these two Grandmas were related??     

On the 1891 census George and Ellen are still classed as from Essenden with more children.
One is John aged 14 and another is Fanny aged 7.
So looks to me that this is your family you are looking for.

Hi there,  love that curly writing 

Looks like Concordio with a slightly different ending which could be because
the scribe didn't understand what was said.
The surname looks like Stephenson which is not Italian of course. 
Would be good to see some of the other interpretations the scribe did so
we could compare it.

Hi there,
If you look at the very informative Genuki Tickhill site you can find a 19th centuary
Ordnance Survey Map.  That has Sunderland Street on it.  Also Linderick Lane. Tollbar Bridge.
It doesn't give the house numbers but the streets and farms etc.
Hope this helps.
