Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: trying to find birth father

Are you sure that you are half siblings - maybe the same age group,etc., as niece/nephew have the roughly the same cM range (1201- 2282) as half sibs.

Add - age range could be broad though.

The sibling I'm in touch with is 9 years older than me and older than my brothers I grew up with, so I would say he is more likely to be a half sibling than a nephew. 
The other potential sibling, well I don't know his age, but he matches with the other half sibling (who has no matches to my family other than myself on DNA matches) and he also pops up on some of the other cousins I'm in touch with as their cousin.

Some questions

1 The sibling that contacted you, did they have roughly an 1800cM match to you?

2 Are they unsure of their actual parentage?

3 What is the half sibling’s cM match with the other half sibling?

4 What is your cM match with the other half sibling?

5 Do they have any other full or half siblings or first cousins who have been or will take a DNA test?

6 Does any of the Shared Matches between you and your half sibling give any clues?

the sibling that contacted me has 1909cM shared with me and just over 1700 cM with the other half sibling.  I share 1435 with the other potential half sibling.
The sibling I'm in contact with grew up with rumours that the person who is down as his birth father isn't his birth father and is just awaiting full confirmation of this, but it's 99% certain the named father isn't the correct one.
Both my brother and the half sibling's brother have done tests and we are awaiting confirmation of the results, but neither I or my half sibling match any person from the parental line that we grew up with. 
We are in touch with a few distant cousins who are trying to help us, however they don't have much information.  Others who we have contacted don't know anything at all the potential half sibling we're searching for.

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / trying to find birth father
« on: Friday 22 July 22 16:32 BST (UK)  »
Hi,
So a few months ago I discovered the person I thought was my birth father isn't.  I only discovered this when a half sibling, who I didn't know existed, contacted me on Ancestry.  We also have another half sibling showing up, but they are not answering any contact from us.
It turns out we are in someway connected to one particular family, we're not sure if it's paternal or if it's the half siblings mum who belongs to the family.
Has anyone got any advice as to what we can do to trace this line?
Thanks x

Lancashire / Re: married in 2 churches

The date on this extract is 4 Mar 1914, but if you look at the GRO indexes via FreeBMD (or the indexes at Lancashire BMD) you'll see that the marriage at St Peter's was registered in Dec qtr 1913. There is no civil registration corresponding to the 1914 ceremony.

I'm not an expert on RC marriages, but it seems that the official legal marriage took place in 1913 in a non-RC church (note "Mix. Matr." - 'mixed marriage'), and it was decided that there should be a further ceremony in an RC church in order to comply with their doctrine.
Thanks, it was the Mix Matr I was interested in as I'd not seen it before in other mixed marriage documentation before.  I believe in the Roman Catholic Church you aren't considered married unless the marriage took place in a Catholic church.  I suppose this would explain the 2nd marriage.

Lancashire / married in 2 churches
« on: Saturday 10 April 21 16:52 BST (UK)  »
Hi
I have found 2 marriage records for a couple, one in St Peters and 1 in St Mary of the Angels.  Was this a common practice for those who were of different religions?  On the Catholic information it looks like it looks like 'Mix M?' is written on it.  I've added a screen shot of the document.
I have a few ancestors who have been of different religions but never found 2 marriages for them!
Any ideas?
Thanks

Very strange when one showing in 1939. Thanks for checking.

It's a residential area (both Kirkdale and Walton), both areas were heavily bombed during the war, so it's possible that it was damaged or even flattened during the war years.

Yes Norris Green is in Liverpool! I still live in the city and actually work not too far from the area.
Many thanks

Australia / Re: Records for John Joseph Holt

A massive thank you to all have answered! 
I have managed to get hold of his death certificate  and it does state he wasn't maried. 
It has answered some questions and in turn opened up so many more (as usual!).  Where the story came from that he 'jumped ship' is a mystery. I do know that his father tried until his death to find him, with no success.  I may have a little dig around Miriam Hazel Holt, to see if I can find anything on her.
Again, many thanks to to you all x

Australia / Records for John Joseph Holt
« on: Tuesday 30 March 21 13:19 BST (UK)  »
Hi, I hope this is ok to ask. 
I have a cousin named John Joseph Holt, born 1923 in Liverpool, England.  Family story goes that he jumped ship and was never seen again.  His parents John Robert Holt and Josephine (nee Westerman) tried many times over the years to find him, with no success. 
I have found death records (1980) that match age, parents names etc but no other details. Are there any records I could look at online, as I'm in England? The death record states it was in Victoria. 
 
Many thanks
