My tree goes back to when Sir John Southwell (Baron of Felix Hall 1393) at least how ancestry mapped it. Would love any information available...

Eliza Southwell married a George Oliver whom they had Elizabeth.<br />Elizabeth married Joseph Harford Smith who then had my great grandmother Clarice.<br /><br />I would, have and endeavour to find out more about my DNA ancestry. So far it goes way back. So far back. <br /><br />Thank you for the read.

I’ve since had my DNA checked and it turns out that genetically I am related to the family of Lady Hamilton who married Thomas George Southwell. This Hamilton branch is small and specific so quite certain. It interests me that the Delmege/Dolmage families were seemingly close to the Southwells in terms of land acquisitions and such. Do you have any information that would indicate how a Hamilton offspring came to be raised as a Dolmage? My roots go back to 1709, leaving Ireland in the mid-1800’s to come to Canada.Jim Dolmagenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561249004966522983.post-86436603453668672742018-01-09T00:05:41.396+00:002018-01-09T00:05:41.396+00:00Thank you for this detailed comment Alexander Scal...Thank you for this detailed comment Alexander Scala and for sharing these details.

She was not, as you have it, a daughter of Thomas George Southwell and Margaret Hamilton.<br /><br />My source is a photocopy of a transcription of memoranda in the Brown family Bible. The entry about Brown's marriage was evidently made by Brown himself. The transcription, in a big round hand, seems to be the work of a Canadian descendant, Sydney Evelyn Brown (1874-1957).<br /><br />I was very interested in your account of the Southwells and their religious equivocations. The transcript also notes that one of the sponsors at the baptism of Thomas Southwell Brown (b. 1826) by the Rev. James Griffith, curate of Rathkeale, was "Lord Southwell" -- presumably Thomas Anthony Southwell (1777-1860), the 3rd viscount, who had evidently not yet become a Roman Catholic. <br /><br />Alexander Scalanoreply@blogger.com
