Travelling People / Re: Hoskins/Hoskings family? West part of Britain.

It’s a long time since I’ve looked at this side, I’ve had twins , now 3 years old, to keep me overly busy and drive me mad…but I’m back on track now with research and will look at the Hoskins again. We probably have a dna match.

Yes I believe so , I have my grace as born 1847 but her birth wasn’t registered so it could have been 1844. Although I have Dna matches with everyone I’m just thinking they’re barking up the wrong tree putting Gilderoy as graces father.

My great great granny Mary Ann clark married Samson Roberts.   Mary Ann’s mother was grace clark, no father shown on her marriage cert to James Clark.  I have a Dna match with so many people on ancestry and they are ALL saying that graces father was Gilderoy scamp! So Thrulines shows that now, because so many people have put it in their trees. If Gilderoy was graces father I don’t know why she went by the name clark and didn’t name him on her marriage cert, although she married her common law husband later in life Gilderoy was still alive. Anyway, just saying I’m potentially related to scamps too!

Europe / Attempting to research Aleksejs Krilovs, latvia

 :).   After many years I’ve finally got a high Dna match to someone from Latvia who has the Krilovs name in their near-ancestry.    Unfortunately he doesn’t know much about the family as his grandmother didn’t speak about family, exactly the same as my grandad didn’t. So, we may be 3rd cousins which is the closest I’ve ever got, his great grandfather was Aleksejs Krilovs born 1914, with a brother named Pavels in 1913, if this is all correct.   My grandad was born 1926 if he was  honest about that. I believe my grandads father (Aleksander Krilovs) may have been Aleksejs brother ?    Family search doesn’t throw anything up and I have a subscription to ancestry but not finding anything on there…. Where do I go from here?  Thankyou.

Would also like to suggest anyone interested in Latvian heritage joins the Facebook sites Latvian Genealogy,   And Latvian Dna.

Would love to give an exact location but the lady who mentioned the Golden mile  has passed away and I’ve only visited Aberkenfig once. I don’t think it will make any difference knowing the location now.

This is such an old post that you probably won’t see this but if it applies to anyone else, Beatrice Hairsine married a Mr Meyerhoff, I have the tree but won’t put much on here now. I wanted to let you know that a book was written about their daughter Beatrice Jr. private message me for more info it’s great reading.

I know this is an old thread, but just in case someone else is looking for the whereabouts of Jenkins Row, I have found it! My 2x great grandparents lived there at the 1891 Census, as did my great grandmother when she was a child. Her father was an iron puddler.

If you look at a contemporary map, look for the dead end of Dunraven Street as it curves towards Park Road (the B2481). Jenkins Row was on the south side of Park Road. I hope this Google Maps link works: https://goo.gl/maps/qoABHMUfEHanGDVE8

I've tried to attach an 1870s map but as I'm typing this, I can't see if it's worked or not. Fingers crossed!

Yes I have his certs and his family tree as mentioned, just trying to find his absent father, probably a brick wall. I’m not in a position to visit the village again due to having small children at home. I’m in Leicestershire.
