Hi,

I sent off a sample of dna for a 12 point check, to compare against other related surnames. I have now been told that I have a 100% match with someone.

Does this mean that somewhere in the past we definitely share a male ancestor?

Am I right in saying that anything less than a 100% match means that the two people have no common male ancestors?

Hi, I can't find this Duvall family in the 1851, wondering if anyone can come up with something. They are from Liverpool both before and after. The details I have are -

John Greer Duvall is a mariner (b1801), who married Mary Ann Templeton (b1799) in the 1820's (can't find marriage, but assume in Liverpool).
They have 3 sons - John in 1826 (address Brownlow Hill), William in 1829 (address Pembroke Place) and James in about 1831 (can't find baptism record).

I have them in the 1841 (from findmypast, but not in ancestry(?)) at Finch Street North Buildings (can't find this on a map) as -
Mary Ann Duvall (36), John (14), William Henry (12), James (9), Charlotte Templeton (79, Mary's mother), Eliza Plat (17). Presume father John was at sea. Charlotte dies in 1843. No idea who Eliza Plat was.

In 1847, son John married (address given as Deanormi (?) St - I think it was between Brownlow Hill and Parliament St).

In 1856, son William married (address given as Minshull St (blurred)- still in Brownlow Hill area)

I think father John dies 1856-1861, as in the 1861 census they are at 97 Howe St, Everton
Mary Ann Duvall (59, widow), plain sewer
James Duvall (30, unmarried), sailor
also in the same house is son William (32, tailor), Sarah (31, wife), Charlotte (eight), John Green (6, son), Sarah (4) and William H (1mth).

Further census' have them in the Everton / Kirkdale / Walton area.

Hope someone can find them in 1851. Thanks, John

Hi
Wondering if anyone has access to Formby parish records?

I have a ggggrandfather (William Mulvey) who, in the 1851 census, says he and his wife Ellen were both born Formby. He was age 45 and a shipwright, wife Ellen was 44, in 1851 and they lived in Sparling Street, Liverpool.

What I am looking for is a birth / christening for William Mulvey in about 1805-7 and a marriage to an Ellen (don't know her maiden name) in about 1824-7 (their first child was born 1827). Don't know which parish, but I am pretty sure they were CofE.

If you can help, it would be much appreciated.

Best wishes, John

Hi
I got a copy of a RC christening record (1905) from the Liverpool records office, which has some latin added by someone(?) beneath the address of the parents. Hoping someone can give a translation for me.

Some info - The baby's father had died before the birth, his name was Thomas King and he married a Mary Curry in 1950. Although why this was on his christening record, I've no idea.

It says (may contain mistakes due to my not knowing latin) -

"Ipse die 13 Maii 1950 Qual(i think) couteaxit cum Maria Angela Curry in Zec B.M.V. de Mt Carmelo apud Liverpolium: Winifred Curry et hiabel upham V.OR"

Also, what is the "Matrina fuit"?

Thanks, John
