'A' and 'B' are two sisters, together with the daughter of A they are my closest matches. 'A' and 'B' were born 25 years apart and 'B' looks to have passed away last year, the bmd entries suggest they both have the same father based on maiden name in the birth index.
'A' manages all three tests and has a private tree that will never be opened to me (I've had to use the birth index to work out how they were related to each other). She is also reluctant to reveal much information which isn't helping my efforts.
A couple of Ancestry trees have her maternal line but stop at her father. Those tree owners don't come up in my matches but may not have taken tests. 'A' appears linked to some shared media from the largest (22k name) tree including certs from her maternal line.
Based on what little I know I've built a 5 generation paternal pedigree tree for 'A' using census and bmd;
1) no matches between out trees
2}no other ancestry trees have any name I've found beyond her father
3)The two families are fairly close to each other in some census (around 15 miles apart), though there is nothing putting them in the same place at the same time.
4) I hit a dead-end at 5 generations with 'Patrick' c1825 Ireland
I've also added my raw DNA test to myheritage and gedmatch, several hits on myheritage but mostly Irish and Australian, very little UK though I'm prepared to accept it's not as good for UK results. I've googled the names and tried searching forums but coming up blank.
Am I missing some very obvious trick somewhere or have I covered the options?
