DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with William by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA.
However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line.
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with William:
This person may be attached to the wrong parents. If you look at all the baptisms of children of William and Mary Crompton around this time, there are two girls christened on different dates in August 1801 and at two different churches, one at St Mary the Virgin in Prestwich, the other at St Anne's in Tottington. Then there are a couple more children at each church in the following few years. All this suggests to me there are probably two families, one in each place. Would you agree? Or have you found some evidence that suggests otherwise? Oh, and also there's another son William in this family, born in 1807. It would be extremely unusual for there to be two Williams with the same parents unless the earlier-born one died before the second one was born. Since your William is the earlier one and he lived to have children, it's another piece of circumstantial evidence that there were two families.
Crompton-750 and Crompton-45 appear to represent the same person because: Appear to be exact duplicates, with one profile created in error. Please merge.
