<\/a><\/p>\nElise descends from my mother’s Uncle William.<\/p>\n
David<\/h2>\n
David has no close shared matches. That means that the connection would be difficult to find. His closest shared matches with my mother is in the 20-29 cM range. I think that I will skip David based on my last Blog and all the work I did to try to connect Michelle without success. At least Michelle had a Nicholson in her ancestry, which is more than what David has.<\/p>\n
Caroline<\/h2>\n
Caroline also has no close matches. Plus she has no family tree posted at Ancestry.<\/p>\n
Robert<\/h2>\n
Again, no close matches. These connections probably go back to Sheffield in the 1700’s.<\/p>\n
James<\/h2>\n
James is related to Carolyn:<\/p>\n
James shows as first cousin to Aaron. I have not added Aaron to my Chart:<\/p>\n Barbara is probably James’ Aunt:<\/p>\n It seems like James should be added next to Anne and Aaron:<\/p>\n This is what makes sense to me.<\/p>\n Yvonne appears to be a 2nd cousin with a Christopher, but I do not know how Christopher is related. Yvonne appears to be from England.<\/p>\n The easy answers appear to be drying up:<\/p>\n Jenna’s mother:<\/p>\n I did not find any close matches for Ronald with the exception of his daughter. Ronald has a small tree showing some ancestors in the Camden, New Jersey area.<\/p>\n Joshua is on my tree already. I mentioned Christopher above. He seems to be from England. I saw a few close matches to Lauren, but they did not appear to shed any light on how we are related.<\/p>\n Raymond has only one page of shared matches with my mother. Also, there was no easy way to find out how he was related to my mom.<\/p>\n I was Edward’s daughter in the shared match list, but that did not help.<\/p>\n Ancestry thinks that Nicole could be in the third cousin range from my mother.<\/p>\n Barbara is a key person here:<\/p>\n If Barbara is an Aunt, that would put Nicole on a level with the bottom row above.<\/p>\n James is a cousin:<\/p>\n This is my best guess on where Nicole should be on my Chart. She shows as 2nd cousin once removed to my mother.<\/p>\n In my previous Blog<\/a>, I looked at Michelle. She showed a Nicholson ancestor:<\/p>\n I traced Francis back:<\/p>\n However, this Henry seems different than the one in my Nicholson DNA\/Genealogy Tree:<\/p>\n Where Henry is the son of Matthew Nicholson born 1798. From my mother’s ThruLines, there are three other matches on this line:<\/p>\n I checked Michelle’s shared matches and did not see Nancy, Angela, or Louie, so I suppose she shall remain a mystery.<\/p>\n A second problem is that I do not see Joseph Nicholson on my tree. I see that Walter married Sarah Clarke in 1871:<\/p>\n I have Louie descending from Clara Nicholson:<\/p>\n This Census does not show a Joseph Nicholson. I wonder if my genealogy for Louie is right?<\/p>\n I’ll look at Nancy’s genealogy to see if that looks right. Nancy has a Nicholson as her maternal grandmother:<\/p>\n I found this tree at Ancestry:<\/p>\n This means that Mary E was originally a Boothroyd. However, it is unclear who was the father when Joan was born. According to the 1940 Census:<\/p>\n Mary is English. Here is a suggestion from Ancestry for the parents of Mary Ellen Lliohan:<\/p>\n This record tells me I am on the right track:<\/p>\n I do not think that there were many Arie Lliohans in Wortley, Yorkshire. This tree at Ancestry appears to explain the Boothroyd Connection:<\/p>\n This appears to be a summary of the 1911 Census for Mary or Mary Ellen:<\/p>\n Joseph’s #1 son is Henry, so I am thinking that his father was also a Henry.<\/p>\n This could be the Henry:<\/p>\n Here is a Joseph Nicholson in the 1871 Census:<\/p>\n Here is a marriage for Joseph and Matilda:<\/p>\n Unfortunately, we do not know the father of this Joseph from this record. The closest baptism for Joseph that I can find is this one:<\/p>\n However, this would put him about 15 years older than shown in the Census. The 1861 Census is interesting:<\/p>\n Henry should be about 15 this year, but I don’t see him in the Census.<\/p>\n Joseph is an awl blade maker. According to the next page, his 31 year old daughter was born in Halifax, America.<\/p>\n If that is correct, that would put Joseph in Halifax, America around 1830. This is from Ancestry:<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\nYvonne<\/h2>\n
