Searching for Patricia

[tweekymum63]

The Allen connection is all from Aberdeen,  his birth place and all the Alexander connection are from Wisbech including the connection with Patricia. All the highest dna matches are from this side and although i have possibly identified and contacted possible Patricia matches but i have not received any replies or confirmations.

 i indertsand  tweeky but i was referring to dna regional ethnicity rather than birth location .

personally I have 56% scottish my father was 96% scottish
my mother has 8% scottish and we discovered that she did have a scottish born great grandmother

so your fathers ethnicity does indicate that ALlen ?alexander was fullscottish and Patrica may well have had one scottish great grandparent too

have the other dna regions been refined since original test /
do you look at ethnicity of your matches ?
id expect any of Allens grandchildren including the Wisbech ones to have at least 25% ish scots blood and the great grand children around 13% plus whatever amounts come from their other  ancestors .
originally irish and welsh were classified together . patricai was probably 80% english and north europe ethnicity which is the hardest to match but if you click on the details ancestry now divides it for example my mothers states predominantly north england flintshire isle of man + wirrel

it might help when looking at matches of matches who have closed trees or no trees or dont answer
how high is the highest of the possible Patricia matches ?

My dad has 56% Scottish DNA and 42% Northern English and European, but it is only the Scottish part that has been refined, giving 3 regions .... Banff and Buchan, Moray and Gordan, and Fife and Angus, and it is within the first two that Aberdeen falls.

Yes I do check all shared matches and ethnicities, and it is through these that I have possibly identified some Patricia connections, by ruling out matches that I know are connected to the Mellis/Mitchell line as well as identifying which have a higher English Ethnicity, but the difficulty with that is because I really don't know where Patricia came from, and the fact that dad vaguely remembers her talking with an accent, she could be from anywhere, although, I have ruled out Welsh and Irish as there is no DNA % to suggest that either of these regions of the UK are significant.

Your Patricia has popped into my head tonight 

Fingers crossed you find something new following the release of the 1921 census...
