Malicent Clegg (18 Sep 1890 - 21 Feb 1982)

The maternal relationship between Malicent Clegg and her son LJW is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant SWA.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between SWA and other confirmed descendants of John Murray Murdoch/Ann Steele is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since SWA descends from John Murray Murdoch/Ann Steele through Malicent Clegg and her son LJW, the presence of significant shared DNA between SWA and other known descendants of John Murray Murdoch/Ann Steele validates the generational links along this maternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple John Murray Murdoch/Ann Steele through Malicent Clegg to LJW, and ultimately to SWA, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
