Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Signature of brother in law
« on: Today at 17:06 »
Thank you for suggestions

tried to add a bigger version but it was too large to attach

The sculcoats man looks likely but i.ll have to work out how he  can be

 John William DOBSONs brother in law  as the man I'm investigating had no sisters and worked on railways

For comparison of writing here is occupation & cause of death of deceased

A child Don MCGILL b1929 was
With the CLARK  family in a small cottage
So maybe the blacked out  lines included his brother and sister

Looking for more information or pictures of evacuees from canonbury road school Islington
To Great Glen Leicestershire

From this excert 
I know that 4 boys without siblings aged about 10 stayed at Dr Jamie's house with a miss Aston who was in service
Parents came down to visit at weekends

2 brothers + a sister  stayed with the Clarks 

+ A.widowed teacher
Mrs  Constance BONNER &
8 children (4 boys each with a younger sister )
The only name showing on 1939 is Vera FLOWERS

Other children from the same school
Stayed at different houses in the village

Would they have been schooled at local school or in great glen hall with their own teacher

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: Free Y-DNA Testing for males with the surname of Riddell or Riddle
« on: Today at 09:15 »
Thanks for your example Hurworth

We " know there WAS some panky

So if I've understood correctly

the surname list could show the surnames of the  unknown 2xgrandfather and his birth father

+ If people in USA are looking for their origins they could see the match + we could compare the paper trail + mutual matches .
There are clear DNA matches  to a Kentucky group of people but no idea how they link to Yorkshire

biggles how wonderfully you explain things

I hope i can persuade my cousin to take a Ytest he might like the idea of belonging to a tribe .

+ after all the hours i spend looking at his distant matches it would be good to obtain the likely surname

do they give indication of the Family name of the eldest patriarch in a group  + your close + distant matches like ancestry or do you have to work out fromthe Hapalogue group

ie this post was originally about RIDDLE

but if his male line descends from HARRISON FARNSWORTH OR WORLEY woud the 111 test reveal that

i will get on to the possible parishes on thursday when i go to Family history society

i dont know what happened to the husband not even sure of death date ..he may have been buried in a Jewish cemetary

although charlotte  must have converted to judaism in order to marry Hyam BENJAMIN
her son left the religion and changed his name to BENNETT in WW2 

I dont know if she would have been buried in a jewish cemetary

First I will order the will...
Then phone parish record offices see if they have anything
