Egg Lou Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 I thought Lily Langtry was Edward VII's mistress. You're probaby right! I'm terrible at remembering the correct bits! funny enough the Hotel "Langtry Manor" which was the house where she used to stay is currently on TV on the Hotel Inspector.. I stayed there on honeymoon many years ago to visit family roots.. gone downhill a bit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alih Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 apparently we are descended from Oliver Cromwell....not sure that's something to be proud of really....I know quite a lot of famous people but will spare their blushes (and mine - don't like name dropping ) until I am destitute then can sell my stories and photos to the Sun!

Snowy Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 apparently we are descended from Oliver Cromwell....not sure that's something to be proud of really....I know quite a lot of famous people but will spare their blushes (and mine - don't like name dropping ) until I am destitute then can sell my stories and photos to the Sun! Oh my goodness! According to my Great Grandfather's memoires, we are also descended from Oliver Cromwell! Although my Great Aunt says he had delusions of grandeur so not sure whether or not it is true Certainly not come across any evidence of it so far in my research into the family history. But hey ho! Hiya Cous! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alih Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Snowy, how exciting! My mum has done loads of research and traced her and my dad's trees back quite a long way - it's on my dad's side apparently. Ghengis Khan is an impressive one...anyone related to royalty??

Helly Welly Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 We're related to Sarah Brightman on my mum's side, great (not)! My brother once dated John Cravens daughter, after he had left Newsround. I've spoken to David Jason on the phone as my Dad was quite good mates with him. Oh, and my Dad's name was originally Tom Jones, until he changed it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
