Hello Sharron,

I'm your mum's cousin Diane, daughter of her uncle Derek.  I'm not sure of all the answers but if there's anything you want to ask, please do. :)

Hertfordshire / Re: ARNOLD family Pirton Herts/Shillington Beds
« on: Saturday 02 September 17 15:31 BST (UK)  »
Hi there, Thelma, I'm afraid I can't help greatly.  I just have Major Arnold b Pirton 1730 - 1803
m 24 Jun 1755 at Shillington Sarah Chalkley (1730 - 1810).

I have Major's parents as William b. 1692 Shillington and
Mary Heartwell b. 1692 Shillington.

I have never found anything convincing about Sarah's parents so they are still blanks in my tree.  Sorry not to be of more help. Diane

Hertfordshire / ARNOLD family Pirton Herts/Shillington Beds
« on: Sunday 21 February 16 21:16 GMT (UK)  »
Hi there, I'm trying to track down my Arnold ancestry but the Arnold family seems to be a many-headed monster!  Mine seemed to oscillate between Pirton in Herts and Shillington just over the county border in Beds.  I am now stuck on Major Arnold (yes,his name, not a rank) Major married Sarah Chalkley or Chalksey in 1755 and had several children including my 6th GGrandfather Thomas(b.1767).
Major would have been born around 1730 but I can't find a christening record.  I have looked on Ancestry, Familysearch and FreeReg with no luck. Major died in 1803.  Can anyone find his birth?  Thanks.

Yes, I have put my data on Gedmatch and found many matches but I am unable to tell whether any of them are Ovendens.

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Ovenden DNA
« on: Tuesday 09 February 16 17:53 GMT (UK)  »
Hi there, I'm looking for anyone who is descended from George Robert Ovenden (1791 - 1860) and his second wife Jane Clare (1800 - 1888) who has had a DNA test.  I am descended from these two but by an illegitimate link and wish to compare my Ovenden DNA.  Many thanks.

Hi Tam

I think at that time the father had to go with the mother to register the child if the parents were not married.  I know this changed at some point though I'm not sure when.  I think this might have been why Georgina's registration was delayed.  I don't see what Rachael had to gain by lying on the birth certificates.  It seems to me that George was responsible enough to claim parentage.  It's just one more mystery.  I've often thought about the story's novel-like qualities - there is so much factual stuff missing you would have a lot of scope to write it.
