Hi David Bridge -
my kit you are matching is a maternal uncle of my MIL He was born.1920.
The kit that matched your wife was a 1st cousin of my paternal GM so no known relation.
Like the other kit match to your wife, the SNP count is low (possibly not valid match) but at least in this case there is a match to another of my kits T353248 is a nephew of my MIL so helps to validate match more.
T875634 kit's father was an Armenian immigrant from Turkey
His KEALAHAN/CALLAHAN grandmother was b. 1858 from co Galway KEALAHAN/CALLAHAN & HESSION Aucloggeen- Annaghdown parish
HESSION (Slievefinn - parish of Annaghdown) Hession was GGM
No papertrail but Patrick Hession told his grandchildren that the Hessions came back from Corbally to Slievefinn - evicted in 1820's.
His WHITWORTH grandfather came from Heywood, Lancashire, England - I have that line back to 1804 anyways.
He has a GGM Mary FEENEY b.1835 Ireland, unknown county.
He has a GGGM Mary HERBURY/HARBURY born in 1806 Gibraltar.
Any idea where there could be a match?
