I have ancestors Jane Turkington m William Cassells 1825 Shankill Church of Ireland, Jane's father was Francis T. and she lived in Annaloist.
I have DNA matches to two people with Turkington ancestors and am trying to work out the connection.
I have two DNA matches who may be related to our Turkingtons.
The first is descended from the Soye family. I have links to two Soyes who married Turkingtons, John Soye m Elizabeth Turkington 1901 Lurgan and Arthur Soye m Eliza Turkington 1867 Seagoe.
I suspect the first is related to our ancestor, Jane Turkington m William Cassells 1825. The Elizabeth m John Soye was b Annaloist 1978, father Francis b 1834 Annaloist and his father George b abt 1810 Annaloist according to one source.
The Eliza m Arthur Soye was b about 1850 Turmoyra ? and father James, farmer, who may have been b about 1820
The second DNA match is related to Austin Turkington snr b 1903 Lurgan, parents Wm T b 1859 Annaloist and Ellen Davis as per the census of 1901. Wm’s father was Thomas.
There was a Thomas b 1827 [father Samuel] m Susanna Baxter 1850 Seagoe who could fit as father of this William.
Would appreciate any help with tying these families in with my ancestors.
Thanks, David
