The maternal relationship between Barbara Ann Brierton and her son DRH is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant DRH.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between DRH and other confirmed descendants of Charles Edward Wilson/Sarah Jane Lee is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since DRH descends from Charles Edward Wilson/Sarah Jane Lee through Barbara Ann Brierton and her son DRH, the presence of significant shared DNA between DRH and other known descendants of Charles Edward Wilson/Sarah Jane Lee validates the generational links along this maternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Charles Edward Wilson/Sarah Jane Lee through Barbara Ann Brierton to DRH, and ultimately to DRH, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
