2023-01-09 Version 19: During the last couple of years I have concentrated on confirming ancestors using autosomal DNA, the results of which are indicated in the 'Proofs' column with a ✓, if confirmed.
So it turns out that, despite a solid paper trail, James Yallop was not the natural father of my great-grandfather William John Yallop Watts!! Anyone with any ideas on that, please text me!
The trail might lead to Latham or Charlesworth in Warmingham/Sandbach in Cheshire, Brewin in Leicestershire, or George/Stalnaker in the USA, judging from my DNA matches.
Perhaps the most impressive DNA result is in the Otter family, several descendants of William Otter b. 1689 through his son Richard Otter have significant matches with (I believe) descendants of another son Francis.
On another front, the surname of Naomi, wife of Thomas Stevenson has come to light, leading to several new families.
2023-01-14 She is Naomi Bury, and what is known about the Bury family of Sewstern, Leicestershire is now included (601).
2023-01-16 She is the daughter of Ruth Dixon, and what is known about the Dixon family of Loughborough, Leicestershire is now included (1203).
2023-01-20 And she was the daughter of Dorothy Kinge, and the Kinges of  Edmondthorpe, Leicestershire are also now included (2407).
