I have a lot of information on your line....Hi Anne<br /><br />I have a lot of information on your line. Selina was the daughter of John George Cruwys and Sarah Harris. John George was the son of John Cruwys and Elizabeth Pritchard who married in 1817 at St Martin in the Fields, Westminster, London. We know from the DNA testing that your line did indeed originate in Devon. There are matches with the line from Oakford, Devon which spread out to Wiveliscombe, Somerset, and also with a line from Kilkhampton in Cornwall. You can see these lines on the DNA project website under Cruwys Group 2:<br /><br />http://www.familytreedna.com/public/CruwysDNA/default.aspx?section=results<br /><br />As you'll see we have two distinct genetic Cruwys lines and one illegitimate line. I think they ultimately share a single common ancestor but that the link with the surname and the Y-chromosome was broken in your line either because of an ancient illegitimacy or a deliberate decision to change the surname. Do get in touch by e-mail and I can put you in touch with some of your other Cruwys relatives in Australia and give you further information.

She migrated to Australia after her marriage in West Bromwich in 1878. I don't know if my ancester is linked in any way to the Cruwys line from Devonshire, but just thought I'd mention it because her surname was the same. Best wishes, Anne.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
