DNA would certainly help pinpoint in this case.

[@AB-vv7fl]

Little late now. John has been dead three years.

[@exdus235]

@@AB-vv7fl Yes, for John to know, the opportunity has passed. As DNA is not limited to just one individual however, any of his relatives could decide to pursue this GGGrandfather 'search'. Intriguing story.

[@charismalyn]

I would imagine high-profile people would probably set their results to private. There could be some open individuals who have their results public though.

[@saphorr]

If you watch the rest of John's story you will find that a later ancestor Walter Lord Browne completely invented the Sligo connection at the time he founded a school, to pass himself off as higher-class than his origins would have allowed.

And which kind of DNA, the present marquess would only patrilineal DNA and they would carry matrilineal DNA

It was so Doctor like when he sdaid long time no see.

[@CJLOVE72]

I agree with that. When he said "Long time no see." it gave me Doctor Who vibes and chills.

[@karenwoodward7291]

She looks just like the father so he needs to get a pic of him for the record.

[@annettewilliams1932]

Why didn't?'r he try DNA route?

[@wildshadowstar]

The other party might not have consented to be matched through DNA. In this case the current Marquess.

[@hairychest7865]

Michael's poor teeth.
