Helen Turnbull
Walter Turnbull
James Turnbull

Research notes

My assumptions for this family are:[2]

- Robert and Helen are at the top of the dynasty
- I have assigned both James and Walter to this couple, despite not finding a baptism for either.
- both James and Walter named their first sons Robert
- Walter also neatly has a 2nd dtr Helen
- James' sons Robert 1753, Walter 1763, and dtr Mary 1755, were all b. Dykehead
- Walter's sons Walter 1745, and James 1764, and dtrs Helen, Betty and Hannah were all b Dykehead (and possibly some of the others)
Bear in mind however that I have absolutely no evidence to tie Robert and Helen to Dykehead other than they too had their children baptised in Canonbie. The records around that time do not conveniently add place, or other identifying data
Autosommal DNA evidence is a tad hard to come by at this distance but we have "walked" some segments back to at least two separate lines down from Walter OR his wife Betty Turnbull.

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Robert by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA. However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line. It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Robert:
