I did a DNA test through Ancestry aa couple of years ago and I have a match with a (now deceased) relative who also did his DNA.  His daughter, with whom I have had a lot of contact as she is managing his Tree, is very keen to discover the identity of her Grandfather.

Her father was born in Adelaide but the person we think is the most likely one to be her Grandfather, was born in the mid north of South Australia, as were two of his known children.  All are now deceased.

The biological mother of this gentleman was also from the same area, although she gave birth at a Mother and Babies home in Adelaide.
The gentleman in question is shown as a 2/3rd cousin to me with 121cms and 2% shared DNA.


Another relative who is an even closer match to myself - 358cms and 5% shared DNA, also is a mystery.  It would be great if we can find the connection there too.  This relative also lives in Adelaide. My father's family were all born in South Australia as opposed to my mother's side, who were born in NSW.

Is there anyone I could contact who could point me in the right direction to hopefully confirm the identities of both these connections?

I only know of one living person who could do a DNA in the first case, but a niece of hers has suggested that perhaps that she should not do a test.  This person is the granddaughter of the most likely biological father, so it is disappointing that she has suddenly had a change of heart.

Myself and the above people are all connected through DNA, which makes it fairly clear that we are connected through my father's side.

Further to my investigations re this family, I am hoping someone will be able to help me with the date of death of John Henry Heath Robinson, also known as John Henry Heath.  He supposedly died around 1930 and I would have thought in NSW, but cannot find a death for him in the NSW BDM. His wife was Gladys Olive May (nee Saunders) who died 1967 Balmain, NSW. The family appear not to know what happened to him, other than he died!

Thank you Sparrett,  Sounds as those this is possibly the parents of John Henry Heath (Robinson).  It has been confirmed that Emily's surname was Heath and obviously her son preferred to use his mother's maiden name rather than his father John E Robinson's name.  Perhaps young John and his father became estranged, as seems his parents marriage wasn't exactly a happy one!
