The persons that share DNA sequences with one or more of the close family mapped on MyHeritage or GEDmatch can be seen on DNA Painter. This is Louise Simon's Profile and will open in a new window on your browser. Also you can access Nicholas Jefferies Profile and that, as expected, they share different DNA matches from those available from their parents. You can expand, contract and look at individual matches as you like; the key at the side shows which of the matches are thought to be from the individual ancestral lines. You can also switch from all matches to Paternal or Maternal using the line at the bottom right under the coloured key. Persons with names between #....# are persons with known family links as well as DNA matches. These people will appear with a DNA symbol next to their name in the Person Index on this site.
A number of DNA matches are known among the descendants of Thomas Mead and his wife Ann Peppiatt even though not all hs descendants have been sorted out. These include Mary A Osborn, Jessica Wooding, Jacqueline Parrott, and a daughter and granddaughter of Eileen Jane Johnson.
The Cook and Hamp families are a large component of matches found in Louise and Nicholas' DNA heritage. For example just 1 person, Mavis Cook through a test on several children & granchildren, the descendant of Joseph Cook and Mary Ann Hamp with some 128 matches at or above 20cM on Ancestry alone. Mavis' grandfather, John Cook, with his wife and 7 children left Plymouth for Australia 26 May 1883 and took up residence in Mackay, Queensland from where the family flourished.
