4 shared segments found for this comparison.

This therefore suggests that
1. Michael Pickup is the son of William Pickup
2. William Pickup is the son of Edward James Pickup (1858-1939)
3. Edward James Pickup (1858-1939) is the son of Emma (Rook) Pickup (1827-1873)
4. Emma (Rook) Pickup (1827-1873) is the daughter of Clark Rook (abt.1802-1871) and Mary Ann (Phipps) Rook (abt.1805-1846). This suggests that Clark Rook (abt.1802-1871) is the second great grandfather of Michael and Mary Ann (Phipps) Rook (abt.1805-1846) is the second great grandmother of Michael.

This also suggests that
1. [Private] is the son of Thomas Charles Thornton (1925-1998)
2. Thomas Charles Thornton (1925-1998) is the son of Margaret Eleanor Hollett (abt.1895-1980)
3. Margaret Eleanor Hollett (abt.1895-1980) is the daughter of George Charles Hollett (1868-)
4. George Charles Hollett (1868-) is the son of Margaret (Rook) Hollett (1830-1877)
5. Margaret (Rook) Hollett (1830-1877) is the daughter of Mary Ann (Phipps) Rook (abt.1805-1846)
This suggests that Clark Rook (abt.1802-1871) is the second great grandfather of [Private] and Mary Ann (Phipps) Rook (abt.1805-1846) is the third great grandmother of [Private].

However, since this is using a DNA match between Michael Pickup and his third cousin once removed, it is not possible to state that these relationships are confirmed without triangulation.
