    2. Martin Briscoe (W10 laptop)
    3. I saw a very close match on Ancestry DNA and when I looked at the map, the person had lots of family in Bolton but none of the main names in my tree. I made contact and he said that his grandmother never knew who her father was. He got back to me a few months later and for a whole series of reasons we came to the conclusion that it must have been one particular member of my family in the 19th Century. We cannot prove it but I suspect that we are more certain than we would be with a name on a Birth Certificate.

    3. Great work Tom! Just to ask a question about Tom's DNA outcome. To confirm whether Critchley or Speakman line, do you then ask a Critchley who doesnt have Speakman in their line, to do a test. Or are there far more options? Cheers Marg -----Original Message----- From: T. Wood via LANCSGEN <lancsgen@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, 3 August 2018 8:22 AM To: lancsgen@rootsweb.com Cc: T.

As a brief summary, I have been trying to determine the identity of my grandfather’s father for over 30 years. It was this endeavor that got me started in genealogy but over all of those years, I was not able to find anything that would lead me to the answer. So, with all of the excitement regarding DNA testing, I figured I had nothing to lose by going down this path to see where it may lead. I got my results and initial set of matches in late March, and took a week or so sending messages to people with the expectation that they would all respond. Some did, but a large portion of my messages went unanswered. I was able to figure out most of the few matches that were categorized as 2nd or 3rd cousins so I moved on to the fourth cousin category to see what I could come up with. The fourth match in this category had very little identifying information that would give me a clue as to who she was or how she may have been related, except for two things. First was her user name which was in the form of firstname-secondname-number. Considering that my user name is ttwood49, I took a guess that the number in her user name was her year of birth. Second she had two family trees listed with not much to them except for the two surnames in their titles, one of which was the same as the second name in her user name. Without going into great detail, using FreeBMD, LancashireBMD and Lan-OPC, I took this information, and in a relatively short period of time found a name that was quite familiar to me. I knew from the time I got a set of 1881 census discs from the LDS in the 1990's that there were three young lads of 20 (the same age as my great grandmother) living either next door to her or as a boarder in her father’s house. From that point, I always speculated as to whether one of these could be my great grandfather. The Critchley family, the same surname that I instantly recognized when doing my investigation lived next to my Wood family from before the time of the 1851 census into the 1890’s. Knowing that to this point this could all be circumstantial or wishful thinking, I proceeded to try to make contact with my Ancestry match. After several attempts over a period of two months and getting to the point of begging, I had a response. My match confirmed that, yes, one of the son’s of the family that I traced back was her great grandfather. I am quite confident that my great grandfather came from this Critchley family. The question to still be answered is whether the exact individual can be determined. It is highly likely it was one of the three Critchley sons, but there is the possibility that the match came from their mother's side of the family whose maiden name was Speakman. Of the three sons, the most likely candidate would have been Edward who was the same age as my great grandmother. He died of TB less than two years after the birth of my grandfather and was never married and I am assuming that he had no other offspring. Another son was Thomas who was 8 years older than my great grandmother and never married. At this point I have no way of knowing if he fathered any children. That leaves Robert, the great grandfather of my match. He was a few months away from his 16th birthday when my great grandmother became pregnant and is most likely not my great grandfather. In 1911 he was married with 5 children living on Violet St. in Ashton in Makerfield, the same town where he was born. His sons were Robert age 19, William age 15 and Percy age 10 and the two girls were Mary Ann age 18 and Alice Ann age 6. I know that William married Angelina Smith in 1919 and Mary Ann may have married Oswald Topping in 1914. I believe Alice Ann died in 1918 at age 14 and Robert died in 1928 age 37. I am not certain of what happened to Percy. He may have died in Newton le Willows in 1959, but I do not know for certain. My objective now is to try to make contact with any living descendants of Robert’s family for the purpose of trying to get more evidence that may lead to the precise identity of my great grandfather. So if anyone may recognize this Critchley family I would be appreciative of any assistance I could get in locating any living descendants.

    3. June, I was in the middle of sending thanks to you for the Northumberland wills link, which I hadn't come across before, when I saw your link for stonemasons' records and had a look for my Brennan(d) and Brockbank family. They started out as stonemasons in Milnthorpe, Westmorland. Some moved to the Lancaster area and I found two great-great-uncles and the widow of one listed. Thank you so much. Beth.

    3. Just thought I would mention a couple of websites -- one which is VERY interesting and another which may be useful for people who have stonemasons in their ancestry. 1. http://www.historyofwomen.org/wifebeating.html Just click into items on the left hand menu -- things like 'Wife Beating', 'Selling a Wife' - 'Divorce' etc. It is a site which demonstrates just how difficult it was for women in the past. 2. https://warwick.ac.uk/services/library/mrc/explorefurther/subject_guides/family_history/stone/obituaries/ This is a site listing people from the stonemasonry trade who joined one of the original 'Friendly Societies' - hence when they, or any of their family died - there are details in the alphabetical list. I think Warwick University (who owns the site) -- have done other similar Friendly Society Lists - but I haven't investigated those. I hope someone finds these or one of them of interest.

    3. Hi All, I have always found http://www.dustydocs.com/country-show/1/England.html to be very useful in identifying the sources for individual parish records, it also identifies the film numbers for Familysearch which can be used as a filter, i.e. when using https://www.familysearch.org/search/hr/search enter a surname and country and use the 'Restrict records by' the film number given in dustydocs, this will give you all persons of that name transcribed from that parish.

If you in the UK then your local library may well have access Whilst Genuki has it uses I find that in terms of finding what is where on the web I prefer UKBMD https://www.ukbmd.org.uk/ and its sister sites UKGDL and UKMFH You can use the page on parish registers or the drop-down list for a specific county.
