Samuel T Entwistle of Bury

[gnorman]

Hi everyone,

I had a DNA test done some time ago and a recent update has linked me to someone through a person I wasnt aware of.

My 7x Great Grandfather was Abraham Entwistle b. 1823 in Bury to William & Mary Entwistle. I have census records of the family in 1841. By then William has already died and Mary has remarried John Holt. Abraham is living with 2 brothers, Richard and William Entwistle, as well as several half-siblings, James, John, Ann & Robert Holt.

The person linked to me was said to be related to me through Abraham's other brother Samuel T Entwistle b. 1828 but I cannot find any record of him. I'm aware that DNA tests are not always easy to confirm connection but wondered if anyone else could see anything?

Thanks, Luke

I can see about 3 Samuel Entwistles born around that time in the vicinity of Bury. But none as a sibling of Abraham.
Are you able to post the line your match has back to “his” Samuel?

Hi mckha489,
this is the line it shows.
Thanks, Luke

By my reckoning, but it’s late here and I may not be thinking straight and there were three Sarah Jane Entwistles born in 1865/1866. .If you follow Sarah Jane back, via her marriage, you can see her father was a Samuel married to Jane.
That marriage Samuel to Jane Sandiford was in 1864 and the marriage image is on Ancestry. Samuel’s father is also Samuel, a bleacher.

So he cannot be a brother to your Abraham

I fear you are correct mckha489.
Thank you for your help!
