Having been finally galvanised into action to resume FH (by Covid boredom causing me to get DNA tested), I am now trying to go back to get my paperwork in order.
My main blockage was that John WASS - (b1806), child of John Wass (b abt 1762) and Hannah Atkinson and married to a Rebecca Seaton, with both them and their children coming to Australia in 1856, - inconsiderately died aged 4 months old when I perused the actual parish registers of Barholm, Lincolnshire.
So that put a damper on the entire line.
However, I now have a DNA match to that John's sister - so reasonably obviously there must have been a second John born about 1810 onwards who must be my actual GG Grandfather. But I can't find him.
He married Rebecca Seaton in Stamford, Lincolnshire around 1839 / 1840
They had 4 children: John Edward, Mary, David and Jane who are all on the Immigration records of the ship Lloyds that arrived in Australia in 1856. Have all the family information from that date onward.
it is just the English records as I am very much a novice when perusing English records - I do have an Ancestry sub.
Thanks for any help.
