 I've tried looking on ancestry searches   using profession of grocer  with just surname Mansfield and there are none coming up in the Liverpool area .

Yes the father George is listed as a grocers assistant I've posted a clip of document at start of other topic

The couple are listed as married and living at 6 Montgomery st. Dublin point Cork

That is consistent with profession listed on marriage
Whitfield st. I. West derby Lancashire

Have posted on the England board re George Mansfield

https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=882270.msg7550107
Requested admin to merge the 2 topics .

Can see no Irish connection apart from the baby's birth

Frances was born in Ireland in February 1887 and  is on subsequent censuses in England with her grandmother then with her first and second husbands

The complicated trail is on the attached link see reply 6


It's her father "George Daniel MANSFIELD"  who can't be found after 1889
Or before 1887 when he had baby with Alice WALDREN alias Frances real name Alice BARROW

I posted on Irish board looking for ancestors of Frances Gertrude Fullager because thats where she was born in Feb 1887

But it looks like neither parent was from Ireland

Many details on their marriage certificate are made up . June 1887

Edge hill parish of west derby
Name :  George Daniel Mansfield
age 22 greengrocer :
father John MANSFIELD a grocer


Next sighting of the couple is 26th August
Criminal record in 1889 for larceny .he  is plain George Mansfield  . Acquitted she is found guilty

https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=882066.msg7548207#msg754820

No sightings of a George with middle name Daniel elsewhere

I will ask admin to merge topics and leave on England board .

 Have correct information about his wife and daughter. Thanks to rootschatters

Thru lines are now showing correctly  to the person who linked her tree on Sunday
& To a new match

But thru line possibilities have disappeared for one set of my cousin's great grandparents since I altered them last week . He only has 6 great grandparents on the thru line by ancestor parameters
This has happened before but always recalculated after a few days . I wonder why the "new" great grandparents have not shown up yet 😕

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: Getting matches from 3 generations
« on: Tuesday 23 April 24 16:46 BST (UK)  »
Update . My nephew tested so I now have 3 generations of my own to compare not to mention a cousin from each of my mother's sisters .

Definitely shows big differences of who inherits what

I like this illustration

Also have a JONES match from further down the line ( common ancestors great great grandparents)who has a son granddaughters&  great great  nephew & great great niece who have tested .

His first " cousin " whose birth father was unknown can be assured of his lineage because the cm amounts match the range to each generation
It's interesting to compare which generations match

Update
In touch with a great granddaughter of Joseph EDEN. 1906

He married Menetta CULSHAW nor Martha Southern so the above  is a different Joseph EDEN.

Joseph EDEN b1906 has a living son age 90 so we are going to put cousins in touch and hopefully find out more about this generation.
