I'm at the point where I think I'm out of options trying to unravel a batch of relatives in my DNA matches. There are around 20 shared matches that go back to Edward Kinslow and Anne Walsh but private trees and conflicting information on findagrave, familysearch and elsewhere don't help.
Edward is said to be born in Ireland, England or Philadelphia around 1840. Anne in Leeds or England, around 1845 or 1850. Some name siblings (including a twin brother called John). Some say her parents are English, others say Irish, some don't name them and others do. All I know for sure is there are no Walsh births in the Leeds area matching any of the claims made about her or her family in the bmd. The only thing they agree on is that she married Edward Kinslow in 1869 in Philadelphia.
As for the matches I'm seeing, the closest is a 2nd-3rd cousin, maybe a half thrown in there somewhere and a great grandchild of Edward and Anne. I don't know if one or both are my ancestors or of it may be a sibling. I'm not even sure when they went to the USA. There is no overlap with any other matches on my maternal side and the link to me could be anytime from 1924 backwards. I don't know where to start as it seems the important info isn't there for making a start let alone anything else.
