DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Rebecca by comparing test results with other carriers of her mitochondrial DNA.
However, there are no known mtDNA test-takers in her direct maternal line.
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Rebecca:
Aitken-905 and Aiken-2158 appear to represent the same person because: Same husband. Similar birth and death details. I think it would be best to merge into the Last Name at Birth Aiken, consistent with the baptism record. Please add a comment if you would like to discuss the Last Name at Birth. Thanks.
Note for births certs on William Truscott , Ernest Truscott and Constance Truscott all have different dates of marriage for parents I think this is as a result that Rebecca and James were not married as Rebecca was still married to Thomas Blakey at the time.
Rebecca Ann died as Rebecca Ann Truscott 1879 at Hill End NSW. Her Death Certificate was filled out by James Truscott and parents were listed incorrect so I am unsure as to whether James knew Sarah Ann Whitehead or not. James died in 1910 at Rockley after Sarah's Death.
There has been a lot of confusion with Rebecca Ann Aichen/Hodgson/Blakey/Truscott
it appears Rebecca married Thomas Blakey and at some stage met up with James Truscott between 1865 and 1873. She had children with both and died under the name Rebecca Ann Truscott in 1879 at Hill End. She left behind 3 children with James the Youngest being only a couple of months old (Constant Sarah)(Known as Constance)Hill End. And by the looks of it she left behind Thomas Blakey and children. Births certificates for William and Ernest revealed Rebecca's maiden name. Her death certificate was incorrect and threw many ancestral searches off track. Unknown to who helped raise these 3 children whilst James was working in the mines.
Sarah Ann Whiteheads death certificate indicates that there are 3 children dead. I have proven that Benjamin and Elizabeth Ann are dead. The others except Rebecca are listed as living. Therefore safe to assume that Rebecca was dead before 1902
