I have 3 unknown confidence profiles I need help with:

Cotton-352, Bradstreet-22, and Grey-162

How do I prove parentage on these people? TYVM

Comments

The parentage for Sir Thomas Grey - Elizabeth Woodville and John Grey is well established. Elizabeth’s 2nd marriage was to King Edward IV and in part because of that marriage her life story is well documented. Here is a link for reference. https://thewarsoftheroses.co.uk/elizabeth-woodville-queen-consort/

Gov. Simon Bradstreet and Anne Dudley are for certain the parents of Dorothy Bradstreet. There are family histories posted on Ancestry.com that verify this, but it’s behind a paywall. Considering both her parents were notable people for their time, both their family histories are well documented. 

Here is a birth record l found on Family Search for Thomas Cotton. It Shows his parents as John Cotton and Ann(Lake)

Answer 2

Looking for help finding a source that confirms Ephraim Page (born 1808 in New York), was the father of James Page (born around 1832 in Upper Canada/Ontario). Thanks!

Answer 3

Here is my one problem in my connection to Henry: Pierpont-610. Anna is presumed to be the (possibly posthumous) daughter of Rev. Jonathan Pierpont, who died intestate. His other six children have birth records in Reading, where he was minister. Anna's marriages are documented, and there were no other Pierpont families in Reading. Can anyone find a record which positively links her to her parents, Pierpont-415 and Angier-65?

Answer 4

Hello, 

Hello! 

Working backwards on my Henry line. I am unable to confirm that Elizabeth Tucker Hunter [Tucker-11974] is the daughter of Frederick Tucker [Tucker-4219]. I don’t have a tremendous amount of experience in records from this time period. Have searched Google, Ancestry, and Family Search. Any tips are greatly appreciated.

Answer 5

I have no clue what I'm doing; so here goes.  According to Wikipedia I'm 18 degrees from Henry the VIII.  I don't know what's missing in terms of verification so here are the connections.

Answer 6

I am looking for help connecting [[Laird-2051|Mary Malindia (Laird) Ray (1885-1946)]] to her father [[Laird-2041|Robert Hiram Laird (1839-abt.1922)]].

I cannot find her birth record. Unfortunately, the census that would have had them in the same household was the 1890 one. And her death record only lists him by last name.

Or is it enough that her mother was married to him at the time and multiple of her siblings (both older and younger) can show connection to him?
