How our line connects
Not connected to our line yet. This family is on the English line the DNA points to, through the Wears of Hertfordshire. No document yet joins that line to the family of record that the story follows, so nothing on it is drawn as ours; it has pages of its own.

The people
The English line — 5
| Person | Dates | Grade | How we know |
|---|---|---|---|
| Henry Robert Wear | 1889–1969 | Documented | A record was read for every step of his life from birth to burial. |
| Robert Wear | 1859–1890 | Documented | His birth, marriage and death are all registered, and he is in his father's household in 1871. |
| William Wear | b. c.1823 | Documented | He is in two censuses and his son's birth registration; his parents and his marriage are not on the same footing. |
| John Wear | of Newington | Probable | An index of the Newington baptism register names him as father of four children baptised together, one of whom is William; no record joins him to William beyond that. |
| Elizabeth Wear | of Newington | Probable | Her name is on two of four transcripts of the baptisms of 10 April 1833, and on no other record. |
