Research Notes

In the light of DNA matches between (currently) one descendant of Jemima with descendants of three lines of descent from Sarah Parker (who married James Tyrrell in 1793) ^[8] current information was reviewed and further research was undertaken.

Jemima's previously believed baptism in 1793, Braintree, Essex to parents of William Parker and Charlotte Parkerson has been replaced with a 1788 baptism to mother Sarah Parker, Henderson-2297 01:23, 17 January 2020 (UTC)

Although Jemima's death cert. shows her father as William Tyrrell, my current working assumption is that Jemima's mother Sarah is the Sarah Parker later marrying a James Tyrrell ^[9] who died sometime before 1841. Sarah and James' first born son was a William.

It is entirely possible that Jemima's son James, the informant for her death remembered William as a relation and confused the names of Jemima's step family.

Was Francis, 25 year old seaman with Jemima in 1841 a son? Jemima's informative death cert. gives ample scope as 7 children are listed as names/ages not known.

Where to next?

Find a direct female line descendant of the Sarah Parker married to James Tyrrell and see if they are a mitochondrial DNA match to the tested descendant of Jemima Parker

Find any autosomal DNA tested descendants of James Tyrrell and Sarah Parker to see if more matches can be found with the descendants of William Clinton and Jemima Parker.
