cporses 50 Posted March 31, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2018 JohnY I doubt it, but who knows? My family originates in the Fens of Cambridgeshire/ Northamptonshire. I was born in Peterborough in 1950. Emigrated to Australia in 1954 with my parents. Being only 4 I don't remember many of my relations from the UK. Bob York Link to post Share on other sites
JohnY 1 Posted March 31, 2018 Report Share Posted March 31, 2018 Hi Bob Many years back....perhaps 200 years or so, my family came south from Northamptonshire to London so there could be a connection somewhere. My great, great, great (or thereabouts) Grandfather was Sir David Garrick who built the Crystal Palace. From there it was all downhill and my nearest past relatives and me all lived in East London. All the best. John Link to post Share on other sites
cporses 50 Posted April 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2018 Its a small world. We even have one member of the clan living and working in Japan. I do know that some on my mothers side emigrated to Canada, just before WWII. cheers Bob Link to post Share on other sites
JohnY 1 Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 My Cousin Pauline emigrated to Canada immediately after WW2 to marry her Canadian soldier fiancé. They had a very happy life together in Ottawa and later in Penticton, British Columbia. Its just occurred to me that its such a bind trying to follow female family lines because once married the original names get lost. You never know. You could find yourself marrying a member of your own family! Just noticed you're a Navy fella. I was Army and served in Malaya during the insurrection in the early 50's.

cporses 50 Posted April 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2018 Joe, I spent three years at HMS Mercury in the Special Communications Unit studying Russian. Remember my regular trips to Southampton vividly. Thanks for your kind thoughts. Bob Link to post Share on other sites
