The people listed on the left below all match each other in AncestryDNA; those on the right match some of the others, as shown. (There may be other matches that I am not aware of. The people in italic are distant matches of mine, <20cM.)

Ashley Mudd and Caroline Baker have the same maternal grandparents. Also, Rachael Wheatley and Robert Wickenden are related as shown in this PDF (opens in a new tab).
I do not know how any of the others above are related. However, Wendy Smith is descended from Charles Lambell 1821, who like his mother Elizabeth Fry 1795 was born in Liss in Hampshire, just five miles from Petersfield where Rachel Wheatley and Robert Wickenden's Wheatley ancestors were living at the time. Charles must have been conceived about five months before his mother married James Lambell. If Charles's biological father was a Wheatley, then that would explain Wendy's DNA matches with Rachael and Robert.
Carol Ann Bright also has an ancestor Hori Chaplin 1807 born in Liss, but I do not know of any biological connection with the others.
