My Granddad fell or was pushed down the stairs aged 22, we will never know. |

Sadly nothing in my family. I have searched court records etc. hoping to find some dark secret, but to no avail. We did have the police knocking on the door one day, my elder brother had been...wait for it... cycling on a public footpath!! He maintained that there was no sign forbidding it, and when the police checked, sure enough, the sign was missing, so he got off. Some time later my dad found the sign in our shed. This was about 60 years ago. |

I have more stories from my rather colourful ancestors but I don't think I can beat the odd mix of those I posted earlier, all down the same line. |

My Dad went out for a drink with two of my uncles, before they went abroad in WW2. When they got back, my Dad went to the loo, and never saw his braces again??? |

I was told by a distant cousin - way back in the 1700's/1800's one of my ancestors ended up in the local paper |

Great Uncle Herbert and Great Aunt Maree couldnt live within their means. They were forever doing a moonlight-flit. On one occasion they and their brood were found to be living in an Oast House long before it was fashionable to do so. |

My Mum told me that an uncle got a bit the worse for wear one night, when he got up the next day he couldn't remember anything about the night before. There was however a bicycle in the hall that didn't belong there. |
