My Nan was a Werewolf

Probably not, actually.

Anyway: those of you who've researched your ancestry, please tell us something about your ancestors.

Merci beacoup. Slight smile

Parents

  • Most of mine - the men anyway - were craftsmen: iron moulders, gunsmiths, stonemasons, potters, watchmakers and suchlike. My most interesting connection is a probable descent from one of the nephews of Colonel William Careless, a Royalist cavalry officer in the Civil Wars. He was most famous as the man who hid with Charles II in the Royal Oak, after the Royalist defeat at the Battle of Worcester.

    I should add that my family also produced a number of formidable matriarchs, They were certainly very astute, one of my gt gt grandfathers was a coal mine owner in the Black Country, he left all his property to his wife, despite having adult sons.
