A couple of years ago I had my DNA tested by Ancestry. It was pretty accurate when I compared it to the family tree I had built. However, there is one question that I have. 65% of my DNA is England and the Channel Islands including Northwestern Europe. at this stage I have not been able to find any link to the Isle of Man. My GG Grandfather, John Ellis, was born in Colne Manchester in 1802. His mother was Ann Ellis but no father was listed. I believe that her father was John Ellis also, but no mother listed. I am unsure if he is the link to the Isle of Man or not but would love to find which set of relatives came from there.
There is a rumour that the Cosier part of my family came to England around 1565 from France as Heugenot refugees. The Cosiers were in England for many generations but I am finding it very hard to track him through.
If anyone can provide any help to these problems, I would be very grateful. John Ellis was sentenced to 7 years for Larceny and sent to New South Wales as a convict to Norfolk ISland. There were some thoughts he was born in Wales but in the 1851 census, i England, he was in YASS NSW with his wife and 2 children. He was swept away in a flood at Yass in 1852, along with 89 other folk.
I live in Beverley Park, Sydney NSW. Australia
Thanks in advance
