Walter Sewell family
I have a new DNA match who is something like 3rd or 4th cousin to me and they are descended from John William Sewell born 2 Nov 1925 Chesterfield, the son of Walter Sewell and Emily Heath who married at Chesterfield Register Office in 1924. John William Sewell died in 1983. (Walter and Emily also had a son Charles born 1924, but he died in infancy).
This is the 1939 Register entry for John Sewell: https://www.ancestry.co.uk/imageview...e&pId=22068926 159 South St, Adwick le Street, Yorkshire Dobie John P 4 Oct 1914 married, Underground stone contractor Dobie Emily 11 Jan 1915 married, Unpaid domestic duties 2 closed records Sewell John W 2 Nov 1925 At school Clarke George 19 Jul 1872 divorced, Coal hewer, general worker, old age pension. John P Dobie married Emily Heath 1933 Doncaster register office. Can Emily Dobie be John William Sewell's mother? She would have had to knock a good few years off her age! I have found a death for John Philip Dobie in 1981 in Doncaster but not found a death for Emily to see if there is a different dob. I have two Walter Sewells in my tree, one born 10 Aug 1908 and single on the 1939 Register, so unlikely to be the right one, and another one born 1887 Newark, Nottinghamshire, who I think is probably the one I am looking for. If it is him then the DNA match would be my 3rd cousin once removed which would fit with the amount of shared DNA. But there are a lot of branches of my Sewell family, so I would like to be sure this is the right Walter before adding Emily, John William etc to my tree, just in case there is another Walter, related to me, who I don't know about. This is "my" Walter on the 1911 census: https://www.ancestry.co.uk/imageview...3?pId=21097350 Can anyone find anything to help? For instance, what happened to the Walter who married Emily, and what happened to Emily?

It's not that I don't want to contact them, but that I don't think the DNA match has any info about Walter and Emily, Phoenix.

if John William Sewell was born in 1925 and Emily Heath Dobie was born in 1915, she is going to struggle to be his mother surely, unless she was really precocious!
In any event, Charles Sewell is registered in 1924 with his mother's maiden name of Heath in the quarter after the marriage. All kushty. John William Sewell, is registered the following year, so after the marriage, with no mother's maiden name. I don't think Emily can be his mother, or am I missing something?

I don't think they are. I think they're another Sewell family with two Walters who need to be counted in or out.
