Hi Edie, Glad you added you are in Tassie this time! Now I know my email yesterday was superfluous, as you are in Australia and of course would know Trove. Never mind - but glad to know it now. I hope you are having a good day. It's 41 or something here at the moment, so keeping a low profile is the go. Best wishes, Patsy Crotty -----Original Message----- From: yorksgen-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:yorksgen-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of eamca via Sent: Wednesday, 13 January 2016 2:44 PM To: jane.woodall@virgin.net; yorksgen@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [YORKSGEN] A word of encouragement but not Yorkshire Hi Jane, Robert is mentioned in passing of this article of the origin of Weldrake. It mentions a John and Barbary Weldrake and I thinkit was a Judith, daughter of robert Weldrake being baptised. http://www.surnamedb.com/Surname/Weldrake I was wondering if it is possible that you may need to look for a spinster birth. I was wondering if maybe Barbary,tough that may not be correct. the reason I mention it is,I had my brothers ydna done a few years back and was disappointed to find that he didnt match, two descendants of brothers either side of my great grandfather. I am left with wondering whether one of my great grannies did the wrong thing while their man was away in service or whether my 2nd great gf sisters or grand daughters had a child out of wedlock and was passed of as the child of my great great or great grandparents. I do have two daughters of my 3rd Great Grandfather missing, they were born 1840's so who knows if they went away to give birth. it is hard to know,though at nearly 72, I am not going to worry too much about it as the PLACE family is the family I have always belonged to. I do feel whoever the child who started my brothers ydna off was part of the family though, either by the fem! ale line or a great granny by marriage. Still cannot find the right line (what ever that surname will be as there is no surname that stands out a lot.) and seem to be related to every man and his dog. I have stopped looking at the results, as none match my maiden surname. No doubt my fathers child as we also had a nephew tested who matches my brothers, and he looks like my dad a bit (out of the country at time of conception Ha Ha) so pretty much means it is correct. I am sure your Robert will turn up. I always like to look outside of the box. Have you looked in Ireland? I do beleive too, that it was not essential to be baptised and if a spinster birth, she may not have broadcast the fact. Frowned on in those days.
