Thank you Erato. I really must do some further reading on this!

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: Which X chromosome?
« on: Tuesday 12 April 22 19:40 BST (UK) »
Hello Mike - Yes, of course, that's a consolation. Good point! I do still wonder about the 'X' one though. I read now that if a female inherits two X chromosomes, one of them is 'turned off' at an early stage. But not necessarily one hundred per cent. I think the more I read, the less I understand, not more!

Hello Errato - could you explain that a little further to me please? I thought mitrochondrial DNA was inherited solely by females.

Oh, is that how it works? I knew that, obviously, you got bits ie segments, of different chromosomes as they went down the line, but wan't sure whether this applied to 'X's.

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Which X chromosome?
« on: Tuesday 12 April 22 15:12 BST (UK) »
After years of looking at DNA matches etc., a question only just occurred to me today. It is this. I inherited a pair of x chromosomes. One X chromosme, through my father, is from my paternal grandmother. (I am her sole granddaughter) The other from my mother. I only have one child, a son. He will inherit an X chromosome from me. But which one? Will it be the one I inherited from my paternal grandmother, or the one I got from my mother? Is that one of the random things DNA does when it passes down? I just makes me a little sad, thinking that I am her last chance at passing on her DNA, and it might not happen.

The Common Room / Re: 1921 Census

Thanks very much, both of you. I have found the thread now. A bit frustrating. I think I'll be more inclined to combine any enquiries I have with a nice day out at Kew! S

The Common Room / 1921 Census

My apologies if this has been asked elsewhere. I have had a look and cannot see anything.
Does anyone know whether or not Ancestry.co.uk will have any access at all to the 1921 census, or does the contract that has been awarded to FindMyPast mean that that is the only means anyone will have to access it? I'm assuming it does, as that is what contracts usually mean, but it does seem very expensive and a bit of a pain for Ancestry subscribers.

Lanarkshire / Re: James Mullen/Malone/Mallon/Millon

Hi greeneyedgirl and apologies for delay. Life, etc. William's parents were, I believe, (thanks to the Poor Law register), Thomas Malone and Ellen/Helen/Eleanor McCourt. If you can find out any more about them, I'd be delighted.

Curses! Checked death record for James Mullen 41 in 1855, which confirms that he is the right James, but not who I wanted him to be, ie wrong father. Ah well. At least I know now. S
