Had a couple of interesting emails from a match that I had noted as likely being from my Welch line. Ann Welch married Henry Christopher Buller in 1837 at Edgbaston, Birmingham, England. She was just 17 and he was a widower and 32 years of age. I certainly do have some exciting ancestors. Ann's parents William Welch and Sarah (Cheatle) Welch were married at Longdon by Lichfield, Staffordshire in 1818. William's parents John Welch and Margaret (Brockhouse) Welch were married 1783 at Rugeley, Staffordshire and they had eleven children. Because this individual has a match in the same area as a descendant of the twin sister of Ann I am highly suspicious that this match is in the Welch-Cheatle line going back. He could be a 4th cousin by the size of the match so sharing 3x great grandparents but I suspect he is likely a fifth cousin so likely back into the Welch-Brockhouse or Cheatle lines. Interesting though that he has lines back into Birmingham in the mid 1800s and earlier.
Worked a bit on the tree to see if it was an easy path back but probably not.
Today is another cleanup day and then hopefully finished the outside work except for winter stuff but we do have someone to clear the laneway which will make a huge difference.
