I did contact Rotherham archives, where he says he was born. They checked workhouse records but they weren’t complete and nothing.

Mine is completely weird. Parent 1 looks like my maternal grandmother and parent 2 looks like paternal grandmother. Although the German bit messes up that idea. I don’t see how they can work it out. The only matches from my father’s side are silly way back ones. 80% of my close matches are from my maternal grandfather.

Is 17% Scotland DNA a lot and would it mean that that Scottish connection/ancestor would be quite close? Or am I misunderstanding DNA distribution?

It should mean approx a great-grandparent, but I'm not sure that their Scottish estimates are very accurate yet.

I rather think that the parent giving me 13% Scottish is quite possibly Dad, and this should really be Irish. But I will say until I'm blue in the face, I have no Scottish names, nobody living above the Wash, nothing inconsistent with my paper trail. So if I share DNA with Scots, it has to be back a very VERY long time ago and not meaningful in family history terms.

It is likely my Scottish came from my paternal grandfather, rather than my paternal grandmother and I believe my Irish came from my maternal grandfather. It is interesting to see how the DNA has travelled down. Now if only I could work out which parent is which for OH.
