A 3rd DNA match also had Mary McCauley 1841 married to Thomas McKnight, Mary is a sibling of Rober McCauley

June

June Report 25 Jul 2018 17:27

The DNA match has the name John Davies married to Elizabeth, they have a daughter Evelina Amelia Davies who married Robert McCauley, Robert William McCauley appears in another DNA match's tree and my only name link is Davies.

Yes this is the same one, I have tried to look for parents and siblings on both John and David Davies, but there are so many possible families also more difficult to confirm before census records, John's birth record had John and Anne as parents but I couldn't find a marriage for them around his birth date.

I am trying to find a link between the David Davies 1838 Welshpool and John Davies 1819 Wrexham (married to Elizabeth and daughter Evelina Amelia) David's father is also David as per the marriage record above but not sure where he was born ?
