DNA Insights & Hypotheses
Note for DNA Matches: Thomas Campbell is the Most Recent Common Ancestor (MRCA) for several DNA match groups.
- John William Taylor (b. 1878, Kingston upon Hull): DNA matching strongly indicates that Thomas Campbell or a close male relative was the biological father of John William Taylor, whose mother was hypothesized to be Elizabeth A Taylor (or Elizabeth Alford Pine Taylor). John later moved to the Swansea area of Wales.
- Richard Winterbottom Seccombe (b. 1884, Penzance, Cornwall): DNA matching strongly indicates Thomas or a close male relative was the father of Richard, whose mother was hypothesized to be Caroline Seccombe. The family later moved to the Bridgend area of Wales, and this group may have inter-married with Taylor NPE descendants.
- Gilbert Wardhaugh (b. 1915, Morpeth, Northumberland): With the available pool of DNA matches, it appears conclusive that Thomas Campbell was the father of Gilbert Wardhaugh (mother: Dorothy Wardhaugh / Ogle). Wardhaugh descendants reside across England and in Canada.
