Mary Jane would have been my Grand mother. My mother's name was Marion Lake.

I honestly don't know really anything about my family history. My dad's parents died like I mentioned, well before I was born, and all my dad's siblings were broken up and taken in by different families.

Any chance Mary Jane was you mother with another father?

Not a name in my tree - yet! But you are a DNA match - fairly strong??? The Mather connection works with the prediction???

Forbes was the adoptive name. I am not sure if my biological grandparents were siblings of Mary Jane or not. The biological last name was Amell (not 100% sure on the spelling )

Was Forbes the adoptive name? Would the biological parents have been a sibling of Mary Jane?

Very interesting. Those would be my adopted Grandparents. My Dad (Carman) lost his biological mother and father to the plague, or some kind of epidemic of the time, and was taken in by the Forbes'. Thanks for reaching out!

Parents of Carman Forbes were Stewart Elmer Forbes and Mary Jane "Minnie" Mather; Barbara, Nancy and David Forbes are showing up as third cousins in my tree.

Notes:

(Research):there is a mystery here!
It appears that Carman may have been the son of Pascal Amell 1886-1923, died of influenza
and
Annie Echlin 1887-1922, died of Graves Disease (hypothyroidism).
If this is the case, he was adopted by Stewart Forbes and Mary Jane Mather.

Notes:

(Research):It is interesting that I cannot find birth records for any of this family although baptisms may exist.

I have some thought that ?u?Mary Ann?/u? who was born 4 months after Isabella marriage to William may have been James' child as registered on her death certificate but was raised by Isabella. James seems to have preferred the military life and may have been involved in travel and training/management with them.

It is interesting that ?u?Lucy's?/u? death certificate also lists James as her father.

Could it be that James and Isabella had a relationship, Mary Ann was on her way, and William stepped in to marry Isabella because James was elsewhere? Could this be where the dual name James William started to appear in the records? What became of William?

William mysteriously disappears, never to be found. James cannot marry Isabella because William's death is not known or recorded. The census taker in 1871 is confused and enters both names?

Where a mother's name is recorded on most of the children's death certificates, some do not mention a father.

I think the true story will never be known, lost in family/community lore, maybe whispered about but never formally acknowledged.
