I have a distant dna match and ancestry is saying that William Thomas Edward Nichols b 1858 Kent is the son of William Freeman/Fryman, my 3rd great grandfather, if its true then it explains the connection But I fail to see anything that connects him. He is on 1861 census as a nephew to William Ashby and Fanny just a few doors away from the Freeman family.
1871 he is with his mother Catherine Nichols aged 53 unmarried. So am guessing he must be illegitimate. When he married on 1885 he puts father as William Nichols.
So I am really after a baptism or a bastardy order or something along those lines to prove the connection. findmypast is better for kent as I cant seem to find what I need on ancestry. Unless he is mentioned in the will of William Freeman.
Anybody able to find anything please?
