No personal interest, but....

Reply #3: Suzy, you say: "but this Urch was in North Somerset and they are in Frome,"

I would suggest a link is highly likely given that Frome is also Somerset.

Good hunting.


That is what I am thinking, so am def looking into it.  But understand what others are saying about a slim chance.

Thanks

If you have a DNA match in the Urch tree it might not mean that you and your son in law are “related”. Could it be that you are related to someone else in the tree who married into the Urch family?

There are often errors in trees attached to DNA results, so keep that in mind. Many of them only show direct lines and to find where you match you often have to search very wide …. For example trace all siblings of all 4 and 5x great grandparents, and then trace their descendants on all lines ….

I would look at mutual matches of you and the Urch match to see if that clarifies.

Lastly 8cm is a small amount of DNA to share. I think it is Ancestry who have a cut off, and don’t even bother to show matches that low. Having said that, some people are able to trace matches which share very low amounts.

It is a good idea to test your son in law too. DNA is passed down randomly and it could be that he did not inherit DNA from the same ancestors that you did.

There is loads online but this American one explains the possible time lines quite simply https://www.familyhistoryfanatics.com/how-far-back-ethicity

Regarding paying someone to research for you, I would think they would just do the same sort of online research tracing all lines, in the same way that you would. Others may have some suggestions on this.

Good luck, and pop back when you get your son in law’s results.

Added: which company did you take the DNA test with?

Thank you Ruskie sounds like you absolutely understood my post.  I had thought about the fact that my son in law may have an ancestor that we have  common ancestors marrying each other and there actually is a case of this my 1 cousin 3 x removed married an Urch but this Urch was in North Somerset and they are in Frome, however I am looking to see if there is a connection in the Urch Tree.

I did the DNA on Ancestry.

But thank you again I will continue my search.

Happy Christmas

I have been researching my son in laws mothers tree for her 75th birthday in January.  It has been a bit of a rush and so have only gone back a few generations.  The original surname is Urch.  In my search I came across an ancestry member in the Urch tree with a DNA match to me!!!  Obviously this was a huge shock, so I emailed the person but they did not reply.  It states 5th to 8th cousin 8cM across 1 seg.

Can anyone explain this please.

Also if I now go back to my tree  and look at the extended tree going backwards cousins etc should I in theory come across a connection?
I have already found a 1xcousin 3 x removed in my tree that marries an Urch but he is not in my son in laws tree at the moment. 

Lastly I have bought my son in law a DNA kit to see if it comes up that we are actually related, if it is the case I was thinking of hiring someone to look at it for me.  Any recommendations from who I might use?

Hope this makes sense  :-\

London and Middlesex / Re: Blythe Yard Whitecross Street
« on: Monday 16 October 23 19:53 BST (UK)  »
All the census's for his family just say Whitecross Street mainly number 18.  It was only on a baptism for his daughter that Blythe Yard is mentioned.  He was a Basket Maker and I think maybe they lived above the shop, but not sure.

But these maps are fantastic thank you.

London and Middlesex / Blythe Yard Whitecross Street

Does anyone have any information or photos of Blythe Yard Whitecross Street London.  My ancestor lived there and I am assuming they had a shop maybe as he was a Basket Maker in the 1800s.    I have googled it but cannot find any info.  Or a web site where I might obtain any information.  Many thanks

What do you mean by "on one tree" as opposed to "another tree?"

~Yes Frank Pinchin my 2 x grandfather
   Emily Clara Louisa Arman nee Coleman on another tree.

But when I look into it my great grandmother Florence M Pinchin (franks daughter) married James Powell Coleman.  So they were linked but I had not made the connection.
I think I maybe confusing myself to be honest!!

Hi I have just come across a marriage between my 2 x Grandfather on one tree and my 1st cousin 2 x removed on another of my trees.  Is this legal?  I am struggling to get my head round it. 
I can give more detail if needed.  :-\

Yes that is the one.  I did look before but thought I had found a father and a census for her but it does def look like it is a strong possibility.  I will let you all know.  I have ordered the death certificate.  Thanks you all.
