Default DNA match success !

This is not a question, but I am so happy, I want to share.

My 3xg great grandfather Charles Tupper, was baptised in Woolavington Sussex in 1807, with no parents recorded. His death certificate stated his father was Thomas but no mother's name was given.

An Ancestry DNA match with my father, of 31centimorgans, made me look at the brief family tree linked. There is a Charlotte Tupper who married a man with a fairly unusual name.

A bit of research on freeBMD found Charlotte and her husband and descendants, and Ancestry provided some marriage and census links.

There are two possible Charlotte Tuppers, but I think I have the right one. The other one belongs to the family but is a further distance from Charles. With either Charlotte, the centimorgans match is within the range for Charles to belong to the same family. There is only one Thomas Tupper baptised in the family in the appropriate time-frame.

A few more matches would really help confirm it, but so far I am pretty satisfied that Thomas Tupper who had other children baptised in Woolavington and Graffham at the same time IS Charles father.
