Ah, OK, thanks.
In that case it probably isn't worth posting the full details.
What worried me is that although I have my great-grandmother Caroline Mallet's date of birth in the family bible, and I've found her baptism with the right parents, there's no sign of a birth registration (although she was the 4th of 5 children and the births of all the others were registered), so I was beginning to wonder if she was the illegitimate child either of her mother Matilda or her mother's spinster sister Caroline.
That would explain why I matched with F but not M, but that theory seems to be disproved by the fact that I have DNA matches with descendants of several relatives of John Mallet's wife Mary Ann Bentley, and the only way I can be related to Mary Ann is through her son Thomas Mallet, the father of Caroline Matilda and her brother Thomas.

I don't think that uploading from Ancestry to MyHeritage makes a difference.

OK, thanks for the confirmation.
