My post from 2018 that johnP-bedford links to shows I had been toying with Elizabeth's surname and parentage for some time.

My wife's recent DNA matches are confirming that her surname was indeed Albone and the strong link to the Albones of Biggleswade.

As Frederick Emmison auther of the 1931 Bedfordshire Parish Transcripts noted in the forward to the Biggleswade publication, Albone was among the most popular surname between 1692 and 1812, so trying to work out who is connected to who is no easy task given the repetition of several Christian names.

If the Church entry doesn't reveal the information I seek, I suspect in time the DNA matches will do so.

Ouse who.
