I have a DNA match on ancestry, estimated relationship 4th - 6th cousin, with someone whose 2xg-grandmother is shown as Sarah Ann Sage born 1858 Guisborough, Yorkshire. They don't have her parents in their tree, but I have her in the Sage tree that I put together in the hope of finding a link to my Ann Sage - she (Sarah Ann) was the daughter of Samuel Sampson Sage born about 1827 in Dundry, one of the sons of William and Jane. If Ann Sage was Samuel's sister, the DNA match would be my fifth cousin. But then if Ann was Samuel's first cousin, the match would be my sixth cousin, so I suppose it isn't proven by this.
Dundry and Bedminster come up quite a bit among the shared matches with this person, so I'm going to dig around a bit and see if I can figure it out. If only the surname and birthplace searches in ancestry's DNA matches worked properly.
